Unhappy Me needs help!

Hey, I got a little problem...

I like to host my own server rather than joining others, but after 20-40 minutes of hosting my server, the game will run slowly. The fps will be high(50+) but the game has a jerky feeling to it. If I try to minimize the game, or put it in a window, the game will stop responding. I then must restart my computer if I want to run Jazz2 again.

Any help or suggestions please!

Go into the display properties and make sure that you have anything like the screensaver or standby mode off . If that doesn't work maybe your processor is old or something.

it sounds like a stack overflow... suggestion is that you have a timer that switches levels from every now and then... if it's a problem with the level then the problem should stop with the switcher.

Screen saver is set to off, and so is standby. I doubt it's my processor, cause it's a AMD Athlon.

The level I usualy host is 450x250 tiles, would that cause a stack overflow?

And how would one go about using a timer to switch levels?

I tried hosting a smaller level, but I still run into the same problem; it seems to only happen when other people are in the game.

Do you have any events that regenerate themselves or are in large amounts?
