freezing help

What's your system specs?

 

Did the game stop being responsive and did you get a message telling you to restart your mac?


(Like this)

In general, command-option-escapekey (command is the apple) will bring up a dialogue asking you if you want to forcequit a frozen app, but if you get that message then you don't have any options (it's generally related to more serious issues than an application hang).

 

hello

I have the same problem, just with the urban terror 4.1 software, my screen freezes and the only alternative is to switch off and restart with the power button.

Macpro 2 x 2.8 GHz quad-core Intel Xeon | 8GB RAM | OS 10.5.6 | ATI Radeon HD 2600

sorry for my english.

 

Does it happen after long periods of time running any other game or graphics card intensive app?

Download one of those stat monitoring apps (usually widgets), and after playing the game for about an hour and a half, quit the game or switch to one of the monitoring app and see what the temperatures inside your Mac are.

There is a potential issue with some of the 2008 MBP's video cards overheating and crashing.

Search for threads in this forum that are related to the MBP and the (nvidia?) cards in them overheating to see what others have said about proper/normal temps they should be running at.

If it's just that game, maybe there is some bug or problem with the game that causes it. Next best thing is uninstalling it and reinstalling (save any games if that's an issue, beforehand) it I suppose or even running the game while logged into a different user on your machine.

 

I understand that you talk about Mac Book Pro, but I have a Mac Pro

the temperature is normal after verification.
