LOCKING UP NOT LOCKING ON

[BOA_DARKSIDER]

Okay... I know... noone "locked on" in WW2 LOL

Anyhow, I decided to get into Hyper Lobby and give this IL2 thing a try. What little bit I've been able to experience has been fun... but... alas... let me fill you in on my little problem....

There we were.... swooping in on an enemy airfield for a strafing/bombing run. I ran a strafing run as Crash took out the AA guns. AS I pulled up, 3 enemy fighters zipped by me. I pulled hard on the stick as my spitfire looped around. I picked one... he was banking hard right, looking to be headed for a friendly. I popped off some combo roundage and the cannon fire tore through his starboard wing. He was still up.... I let off another burst that cascaded into his rightside front.... smoke began billowing from his engine... he slowed up and I throttled back, moving in for my kill..... I drew him in slowly.... he inched in ..... all of a sudden...

WHAMMO

The screen was locked up... the sound was on but locked at the last moment of playable combat. I had a frozen view of my prey, limping through the air tryign desperatly to avoid me.

Wow... it cut off the last paragraph of my message...LOL... stoopit forums..... anyhow... any ideas as to what this could be? I have me graphical and sound settings to the lowest... I get about 2 minutes of gaming in before I get locked up and have to restart. My system specs are well within running the game accordign to Crash and TG.... I have an Audigy 2 that I have heard heresay have some issues.. any fixes? HEEEELP!!!

Well First off let me say.. Its great to see you taking to the sky's Dark. Now about lock ups and what not. They happen to the best of us for sure, my question is are the lockups comsistant? and are they crashing your system or just shutting down the game?
