dragon freezes when making the RAW-MAP around 20%. what gives? it worked yesterday, broke today. I deleted the folder and redownloaded dragon, but no luck.

dragon doesn't freeze. it works, but windows shows it as 'not responding'. Leave it for a while (depending on your system specs) and eventually it'll work. It's normal :p

ok, will try that. Just though it was odd because it didn't used to do that, it ran sorta 'normally'.

It will work normally, but as soon as you click on something else it'll look like it's freezing as the screen won't be refreshed anymore. On my old computer it took up to 30 minutes to run a map through dragon. On this one (Pentium 4 3.0Ghz something yada blabla) it takes me around 2 to 5 minutes. Really fast. DragonSP is faster though, but will also freeze up to the point where it asks you if it should clear the current statics or not.

Yes, generally if Dragon runs into a real problem it will either come up with an error and stop. If it runs into something it really doesn't like it will just crash and exit. So if it appears to be hung it is still working.

i posted a faq about fixing dragon freezes by changing the compatibility mode in xp to win 2000. everyone was blah blah dragon doesn't freeze just give it a half hour.

well i should have said how to fix dragon "hanging" instead of "freezing"

when i run it in compatibilty mode for 2000 it never hangs, just zips right through it.

give that a try

Still not sure about that Rage, but if it works for you........
Also something for people who are unaware- 1.05 core is about 3x as fast as 1.362. I'll be using it for the new mods. Ry had a reason at the time that he wasn't using it for mod9 but I think it's time to switch.
