Guest Leena Report post Posted October 28, 2002 For a while, all my EA PC games would never start and I'd get the black screen of death. I found a fix by ctrl-alt-del right when I load the game, and delete something called ~ef(with a lot of numbers). This ~ef thing only pops up when I start an EA game, and if I don't shut it down, my computer freezes. I found and deleted the ~ef thing, but it still comes up every time I play. Any help? Do I have some strange virus? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Flyboy Report post Posted October 29, 2002 most likely a virus Nope. Mine does it sometimes. No clue how to fix it, though. I just do the CRTL-ALT-DEL thingy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest DrTom Report post Posted October 29, 2002 It sounds to me like you have the "EA sucks" virus. Thankfully, I've managed to avoid it by becoming a console gamer. Try EA message boards and Google for a solution, though. There HAS to be one somewhere, since things for the PC are pretty easily patched. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Leena Report post Posted October 29, 2002 EA does suck, I learned that after paying $40 for Tiger Woods 2000 which was nowhere near finished, and I demanded those fuckers gave me every cent back. Luckily, I did. The only game I'm still playing is NHL 2001. I got 6 seasons in 1 game, and it's been a bitch to keep playing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Jobber of the Week Report post Posted October 29, 2002 Sounds like a bad file, a bad reigstry entry, or time for a reformat. If your whole system is acting bad lately, it may be time.. =/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Goodear Report post Posted November 7, 2002 I have FREEDOM FORCE and a significant portion of the graphics show up as white blocks. Damn you EA, Damn you Hey Zsasz, I tried getting through Freedom Force a few times but I always got stuck in the underground world with all the homeless teleporting guys. All of a sudden, some sort of wave thing starts draining my guys' life and eventually kills them... and I have NO idea where it is coming from. Do you know how to get around that?
