Official NBA 2k9 PC Thread

[haddes911]

I posted this on the official 2k sports page but I figured can't hurt to put it here too.

I picked up NBA 2K9 today for PC. I loaded the game and menus were slow (but as I've read that's normal). Whenever I've tried to get in the games, I'm able to play for about 2 minutes. Then my sound starts to screech, it freezes, a blue screen appears (quickly, so I'm unable to write down the message), and then my PC reboots.

Any ideas on how I can fix it?

I had the same issue you have. I ended up taking the SoundBlaster Audigy 2 card out of my pc and using my onboard sound option. Since I did this, the game plays flawlessly. I am starting to wonder if all of the problems with this game can be traced to the sound.

I hope this helps you. Good luck finding your cure.

If you get a blue screen and the game crashes, download new sound drivers. Should solve your problems.

Used my on board sound card and the game worked! Cut scenes were still slow and a bit choppy, but the game plays great. As for updating my drivers. I couldn't find them for the sound card. I have the same one as Bubba. So if anyone could point me in the direction for those I'd be gladly interested. I tried looking on creative's site and failed.
