it never used to work for me, but i loaded it up about a week ago and it worked almost perfectly (it minimizes to the desktop anytime a movie plays, but it doesn't crash). perhaps an XP-update fixes compatibility issues. i wouldn't know about 2k though.

If you are having problems, open the c:/shshock2 folder and add to your shock.cfg file:

safe_texture_manager

Just put that in a blank spot, save it, and try again. It worked for me.

I also read that if you have a Dual Core processor, you need to go to the game menu, then open the task manager (control+alt+delete), find the system shock process and under the "set affinity" option, uncheck one of the CPU's. It wasn't designed to run on a dual core chip, so this should fix the problem.

well i certainly dont have a dual core on my circa 2000 win2k p3

but i downgraded my nvidia drivers as this was mentioned as a fix and launched it with win2k compatibility mode...the main screen came up but crashed when i tried to start a game|

i will likely try the tex_man thing tho...when i stop playing Cave Story. hehe
