Lobby lock ups / freezes

[ZuRKE]

This is proven effective in windows 2000. I have not tried it in xp but since the operating systems are very similar it may be workable.

I have been searching for a couple of months for a fix. The issue was in joining a server on Nova World and the lobby locking up. I finally found an answer that worked great for me. It goes as follows:

Go to Control Panel - Sound - Audio - Advanced - Performance - then turn Hardware Acceleration down all the way to the left.

I want to give credit where credit is do, so here is the site I found this answer at. Thanks Guys.

Here is also a possible fix for game crashes:
Delete all of your PCX files in your DF2 folder and see if that helps.

This has proven effective in windows Vista.

Find the df2.exe in your install directory. Right click, --> Properties and in the Compatability tab check "run this program in campatability mode for windows XP service pack 2".
