I have some Problems with my CreativeLabs 3D Blaster TNT2 Ultra in Direct 3D mode.
Whenever I enter a shop and click on 'Buy' the game starts to run very sluggish even the music interrupts and the items for sale are displayed incorrectly.
I have a PIII 550, 128Meg Ram, WinME and I have installed the latest Drivers.

Has anybody experienced the same problem and knows a way how to solve this problem ?

Try changing your display resolution to 640x480...It fixed all of my D3D problems...Good luck..

Ok with 640x480 resolution D3D works fine now. But it is no real solution to run this game in 640x480 on my 19' monitor.
TNT2U is a very common chipset so Activision should be able to solve this problem.

I use the NVIDIA reference driver version 5.30 that is provided by my card manufacturer Creative.

So are there any other tricks to get this game to run in 800x600 or 1024x768 without bugs ?

Wow!..You have a 19' monitor!...Hmmm..I guess 640x480 resolution looks quite crappy on such a monster...Sorry can't help you..Unless...How about I give you my 15' in exchange for your 19'?..No?..Tough luck...

I had the same problem in the shops. Downloaded Nvidias newest ref drivers 5.22(?) and that problem went away.

However, video still locks up when placing cursor over items after game has been running for 15 minutes. When decreasing view distance slider bar, the time it took the game to freeze went to 20-25 minutes.

ANy of you guys played Ultima IX from Origin? They had the same problems...Never did get them worked out completely, although they figured out they had a problem with Mip Mapping in hardware mode I believe...

Hmm I use the newest ref drivers (5.30) but I will try to downgrade to 5.22 if necessary.

I have played Ultima IX and I have experienced no problems with my graphics card.

Couldn't remember the ver# of newest ref drivers. Stay with newest.

You didnt' have ANY problems with Ultima IX????

When did you get it? After it had been out awhile or when it first hit the shelves?

You are one of the few (and I mean FEW) that didn't have problems with Ult IX....
