DougieB Posted September 24, 2001 Share Posted September 24, 2001 Has anyone been successful in running CMBO on WinXP. I have tried and it shows the smack play but crashes when I try loading the game. I am running a homebuilt AMD 1Ghz on a ECS Elitegrp M/B with Herc 3D prophet MX400 using Nvidia ref drivers XP, 512MB 133 SDRAM. In anticipation DougieB 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rune Posted September 25, 2001 Share Posted September 25, 2001 I just installed the final version [release version] of Windows XP and installed CMBO on it. I was playing with no errors with a tnt2 card using the default XP Drivers. I also tested with an nvidia card earlier on and had CMBO run but with the text problem which went away with the 21.81 drivers. Is anything over-clocked?

DougieB Posted October 1, 2001 Author Share Posted October 1, 2001 Hi Rune Sorry so late acknowledging. No nothing is O/C`d just running at normal spec. Maybe it is because my XP is thePreview Prog and is not therefore fully operational. I am going to try again with the older drivers and see if that helps.

phil stanbridge Posted October 7, 2001 Share Posted October 7, 2001 I'm running CM on XP release 2526, with a KyroII card. Single player is fantastic, albeit with some weird problems with transparent textures, (I can live with it) but TCP against a mac is a major issue. The game will hang for one of us. I haven't a clue what is causing this. I'm going to be using my second drive with 98 or ME, so this isn't a biggy for me now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Elder Posted October 11, 2001 Share Posted October 11, 2001 I have a the full release version of XP Pro, and CM seems to work fine on it...haven't played anyone with a Mac (I don't know those 2 guys ). Got a Geforce2 MX, a few of the translucent white text problems (actually, i only saw it in the turn # of # part of the screen). So far I like it (; 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt.Reaper Posted October 13, 2001 Share Posted October 13, 2001 I just loaded WINXP and am finding this "white translucence" problem that seems to be old to everyone but me. Just loaded the newest nVidia drivers for my Ultra 2 and the problem still exists. This is extremely annoying as when I'm attempting to save my game file, I cannot see the box and what I'm typing at all. And at this point, you cannot escape to desktop and clear it up. What is a gamer to do? Are there any fixes on the horizon for this???? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAZ NZ Posted October 14, 2001 Share Posted October 14, 2001 Yeah im running an ATHLON 1.8 Gigahertz with 512 ddr ram, geforce 2, and xp. I load combat mission then the patch and all i get when i load cm up is an "out of range" message and the screen is doing weird things and its all grey any suggestions? XP is the full latest, drivers are the main latest 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted October 14, 2001 Share Posted October 14, 2001 I'd suggest deleting the CM Prefs file and see if the resolution selection screens come up or not. If they don't then there is some sort of issue between your video drivers and your monitor definition (as one possibility). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAZ NZ Posted October 14, 2001 Share Posted October 14, 2001 where is the prefs file located? i have never seen one in the main dir or anything 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted October 14, 2001 Share Posted October 14, 2001 Assuming that you installed CM to the default directory you can find the Prefs file at: C:\PROGRAM FILES\CMBO\Combat Mission Bynd Ovr Prefs. When you delete this file the next time you start CM it will go through the resolution selection process and play the QuickTime movie (if you have QuickTime installed) each time you launch CM. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
