My Computer Doesn't Like Me [BUG]

[Eauxps I. Fourgott 81]

I'm experiencing a bug where, after a not very long amount of time playing TSL, my computer gets messed up. TSL is unresponsive, I can't make any windows appear in front of it or force-quit it, and I can't shut down or log out -- only way out is force-shutting down my computer. I had other issues similar to this with TSL before, and a reinstall fixed it, but after another reinstall (yay mod installation issues), this bug popped back up and a reinstall didn't fix it.

 

I was running as admin. I enabled compatability mode for Windows XP on it a little bit ago (I use Windows 8), but for one reason or another, haven't actually had it running for long enough since then to know whether the problem persists or not. I want to go to bed now though, so I figured I'd go ahead and put this up now and actually test it in the morning or whenever.

 

Anybody have any ideas on this?

Have you used the Graphics Tweak guide for your GPU? http://deadlystream.com/forum/topic/1545-nvidia-gfx-guide/?fromsearch=1 Additionally, do you have an integrated card or are using a Laptop? The first (not disabling specific settings mentioned in the guide) could cause problems including crashes, and the second could severely limit your GPU capability.

Do you use Flawless widescreen?? You could also change compatibility to windows 8 (That was added recently)

Never knew about the guide before, but I'm going to try its settings now. I don't know about the integrated card or where on the computer I'd look that up, but if I had to guess, I'd say yes. I am using a laptop, although the game worked fine before on an older laptop with less stuff like RAM.

I don't know what Flawless widescreen is, so I don't think I use it.

 

UPDATE: Well, I just played for just over a solid hour with no problems, so I think the problem might be fixed. Thanks, Malkior!

 

UPDATE #2: Okay, now the computer crashed on me less than 10 minutes into another session, so it's not fixed after all. Might have something to do with the fact that it was unplugged and on power saver mode. Any other ideas would be great!
