Any possibility on setting up options to allow lan parties on same game e.g. 2or 3 people playing attackers versus a defender or two. Each person has x points to sepnd as sees fit Would be great to see how well/ if people coordinate

Thanks Schrullenhaft You must be sick of these queries having trawled around the site and seen lots of themso very grateful. Haven't made changes to CMOS/ BIOS yet due to my lack of technical know how but am desparate enough to give it a go. Will 1) change cmos/ bios 2)check system isn't using acpi as configuration protocol (how do I do this) 3) move sound card 4) buy new sound card without the bus or conflict issue (any cheapo suggestions) One thing I tried doing was switching sound off but game still crashed and atmosphere totally lost. (Funny enough this is the only game that crashes !!arggggh) Any chance you have a file with all of the suggestion attached to stop you giving the same great advice again and again to us luddites.

After several minutes sound is continuous and computer freezes I have 1000 Athlon, 256mb, Asus A7v, SB Live1024, Geoforce 4 4200 and Win98 SE All have latest drivers including VIA 4 in 1. Have even downloaded via to SB patch mentioned in other query. CMBO demo and full game didnt work. Spent several weekends trying to fix problem after more time on forum. Even upgraded from Geoforce 2 to 4 4200. Had to give in and return game 6 weeks later. Have awaited CMBB demo to see if the same issue occurs. Computer still freezes with sound hanging at a random point in the game. Hair is being pulled out at a faster rate....annoying as what I have played of game is excellent and the support by yourselves was very helpful. SB is on IRQ9 as per my network card. Could this be an issue. Any other thoughts. Thanks

I am totally in sympathy with your problem I have 1000 Athlon, 256mb, Asus A7v, SB Live1024, Geoforce 4 4200 and Win98 SE All have latest drivers including VIA 4 in 1. Have even downloaded via to SB patch mentioned in other query. CMBO demo and full game didnt work. Spent several weekends thinking problem had been fixed after more time on forum.

One thing I have noticed is that when I go into dispay properties/ adanced/ adapter menu and click change I get the 'update dispaly driver window saying search for nvidia geoforce 2 drivers, pick display drivers from a specific location and then get the 'update device driver window' which shows 5 models to select, 2 3d Prophet driver types, and 3 Nvidia driver types. I cant delete any of the 4 other driver types. Could this creat a conflict? Yours desperate

Dont believe I am running off the CD. The cd is required to play the game but I have done a full install. Any suggestions on how to ensure it reads of hard drive? Re the graphics card I only have the one fitted. Came from a company called Hercules however just use the default nvidia drivers now up to the latest beta. Not sure if it may remember somehow the intital hercules driver set up. but I've been quite thorough in going through the driver files to delete and restart (including deletion of windows/ system/ inf files)

Additional funny is that once load up game it asks about graphics settings each time. 1st option is 3D Directx Text Primary display driver 1024*760 2nd choice is nvidia geoforce 2 mx400 at same resolution why does the nvidia card not come up as 1st choice Can I change settings so primary display is the nvdia card. I have no other card installed so dont understand why this is so? Helllllllppppppp

Probably the same issue that Ive seen others with. Game freezes within couple of minutes and cant even CTRL ALT DEL to escape. System is 1000 Athlon, Asus A7v PC133 Via Apollo KT133 PC133 socket a motherboard 256 MB, Geoforce 2 MX card with SB 16, Latest drivers uploaded with VIA and 29.2 beta drivers after no luck with non-beta driver, windows 98SE Have tried; 1) uninstalling and reinstalling directx 8.1 and latest drivers 2) switching all applications off 3) setting refresh rate to 60 Mhz (seemed to add another minute before freeze) 4)sound off 5) Noted smal improvemt from 28.2 to 29 beta graphics drivers as screen no longer flickered on view 3 in game. Still freezes though 6) pulling hair out....still no luck and not much hair left I know each game is unique but have had no issues with other games. More help needed, preferable in non-techie jargon as can update drivers etc , but that is my limit
