it is always a possible solution to go deactivate 3dhardware support and tune down to VGA... of course this will work everytime
but to what cost? playing a 3dgame in soft mode and VGA is just... so ugly!!!  noone deserves being tortured this hard not even Scanthril this blasted scoundrel  as for dx8... i never heard smone swearing about dx8a... and i would have... it just seems to me as ppl would be fast with blaming directx when they have no clue where the problem really is... maybe Saz u could grant ur system a little hardware upgrade sometime?? u really can send your 286XT with good conscience in his well deserved retirement now

Um...Savage, I have a Pentium III 500 with 128 MB RAM, FYI...
and yes, I'm looking at an upgrade very soon, planning to build my own. To my mind, 286XT's haven't been around since the early 1990's...did not appreciate the smartalec comments... -Sazerac |

Apologies too, Savage. I misread your comment. I should know that someone with your tech knowledge would know better!
 Smartalec--> wisecracker. We've had a few in here. I have GOT to stop reacting, though! Again, I apologize...and your tech help has been VITAL, and well-needed.In fact, I'm going to see if I can get that new video card I bought working with those drivers you mentioned. Maybe not, though...I think I'll save it for my new system (which I'm going to get in the summer). My main problem is that I bought a store-job last time that when I finally got around to investigating it, found out that it had a 160 W power supply! Monstrous. I won't fall into that trap again. Friends? -Sazerac |

*carefully peeks around the corner to see if it's safe again*
 j/k guys Communication errors just happen.As for my latest beta driver experiment: no luck, still the black screen. But it was worth a try though, it could have payed off. I've tried version 12.40 with directx 7a first and after that with directx 8. This time I WILL stop trying however It's out of my hands it seems.How about I emailed Activision or Heuristic Park about it? Yeah, I think I will do that this weekend. If anyone can find a solution for this it's those guys. Will keep you all informed if I get any info from them. Snoekie. |

Good luck, Snoekie! I hope they can come up with a solution. What's needed is another patch...a TECHNICAL patch, not one that takes away the *ahem* undocumented features of the game.

Man!!! Can I say something here. . .I am SOOOOO impressed with four things already on this thread:
1. Sazerac volunteering to open a Help Desk! (Gotta Love that Sazman) 2. Ryanamur's System! Dag!! Wish I had one of those!!!!  3. Savages Tech Knowledge! Woohoo, you are a smart one! It will be wonderful having another one around who can help with problems like these! (not to mention a great sense of humor!)  4. Snoekie's sensitivity to jump in there and lend a kind word between friends! Too too cool for school, guys! And folks wonder why this is the best forum in the world (as far as I can see, and I can see pretty darn far from this seat!) I love all four of you!!!!! Mammawlin |
