andersonaaj, try the T4 version in this link. I assume you are on Windows?

I'm also having occasional problems with Warzone 3.1.0 getting slower and locking up. My disk light isn't going so it's probably not my virus scanner. Config:
  • Gateway GT5056 PC from 2006
  • AMD Dual Athlon at 2000mhz each cpu
  • Onboard Geforce 6100 graphics card overridden with new Geforce 8600gt card with 256mb ram
  • 3GB system ram
  • WinXP SP3 5.1.26
After I let it go for 5-10 minutes I get this error: "Exception Handler failed with error 1400: Invalid window handle." This error shows up on the windows desktop with Warzone minimized to an icon. When I click the OK button, Warzone closes.

Also, after I got this error today I blew the dust out of my case. I do this about once a year so we'll see if this was related to heat buildup. However, for older programs like Call of Duty 1 I did have to start the game, then disable 1 cpu.

I never had this problem with 3.1RC3.

@bulrush - try the T4 release from this page to see if that fixes the problem: viewtopic.php?f=48&t=10722

@mods/admins: Would it be worth posting in the announcements forum about the test releases for people who are having problems with 3.1.0?

Does the game otherwise run fine on AMD CPUs with mutiple cores? Because back in 2006 when I got my PC, this was an issue with many games like Call of Duty 1. I had to download a Microsoft Windows patch to turn off one CPU while playing COD1.

I'm checking back in. After I blew the dust out of my computer (air intake vent was 80% plugged and fan was running constantly even in the winter), I played a 1 hr game with Warzone 3.1.0. Everything worked fine. I suspect in my case it was an overheating issue.

Oh yes, in the process of blowing out my case, the computer was rebooted. I'm one of those guys that leaves the PC on for weeks at a time and just puts it into sleep mode at night. I really need to reboot every Friday. :)

I have not tried the T4 build yet, as this issue seems solved, for me anyway.

It's already stickied, but I agree. That, or place it in the Announcements subforum so that it's even more noticeable.
