Are Freezes A Common Bug For This Game?

[bookist]

Ok this happened to me loads of times and still happens.  I try to delete a transportation gate and the whole game freezes and I have to wait 15 min-to 1 hour for f4-alt/ctrl-alt/delete to wrk.  Any help is appreciated.

I haven't heard of this happening before. Did you just get the game? Has it been happening recently or ever since you got the game? What 'level' is it? High? Medium?

Okay here is how it is after about 30 min to an hour my game frezzes.  Help appreciated

Every time you play? Do you have it on high settings? What kind of computer do you have?

Also, no one can help you if you do not give more information. Just saying that you have a problem isn't enough to tell you how to fix it.

I too have problems with ZT2 freezing. I have a new Dell - Pent 4 -1 Gb mem -         e-GeForce 256 MB 7300 video card. I read all the posts and I too play in a low resolution and save constantly. I have all the expansion packs and just bought the Marine 1 but haven't loaded it yet. I take it there is no answer to this???  It is a royal pain!! Is a fix coming down the pike??   Thanks

This is what the event viewer is reporting every time my ZT2 hangs/freezes:

Any computer guys make sense of this? I'm very frustrated troubleshooting my kids brand new computer on this topic.

Brand new Acer Athlon64, 1G RAM, onboard nvideo graphics card.

I know this is an old thread, but was wondering if there is any new info on this issue?  My system is pretty new, and I have this freeze problem all the time, especially when going from standard to guest/zoo keeper view or camera mode.  I have tried adjusting the graphics speeds, etc. as recommended by the official site, and nothing works.  If my system meets all the requirements (which it more than does), then this shouldn't be a problem, but it almost always is.  It has gotten to the point that I have loaded the original game into the new system, and am playing it more that the new one, even though I just got expansions for the ZT2.  Anyone have any ideas?
