Tread Head Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 When I try to host or even join a game most of the time it will not load past the loading screen? I can hear the battle and the other guy tells me I am loaded but I only get the loading screen? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmatt Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 What happens when you try and play a solo game? Will those work? Can you provide more details and system specs for us please, it will help to diagnose the problem. Madmatt 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tread Head Posted September 22, 2003 Author Share Posted September 22, 2003 It will also do that when I play solo if I esc. out of a mission they try to open it back up later. Just a black screen? Can hear and all but no screen? I run a NVIDIA geforce2 MX/mx 400, I am sure I have the newest drivers. 384 mb ram amd 993 mhz 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madmatt Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 Try this from the online troubleshooting guide: Problem: Game seems to lock up or display a black screen immediately after game is loaded, you may hear the intro music or sound still. Video card is a Nvidia (GeForce, GeForce 2,3,4 or FX card) and you have newer drivers (41.09 or higher) installed for it. If you have a Radeon card see next Problem entry below. Cause/Solution #1: The problem is with the video drivers. They have a problem properly initializing the screen graphics when Anti-Aliasing is enabled. Turn off Full Screen Anti-aliasing for your video card. This can be done via the video cards display properties panel. Cause/Solution #2: Minimize CMBB by pressing Alt-Tab and then re-maximize it by clicking on its icon on the Taskbar. The display should properly refresh and everything should be visible again. Cause/Solution #3: Since those drivers will not correctly work when Anti-Aliasing is enabled you maybe able to install older video drivers which will work fine and allow you to use Anti-Aliasing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TufenHuden Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 I don't now what I did,but I upgraded to nvidia to 45.23's,know when I do this the problem seems to have that you boot the game,you hear the cmbo /cmbb music but a black screen,then you hit alt+ tab and back that fix's it but you don't have to do that,1st you right click to properties/advanced /GEFORCE4-TI-4400/performance&quality/image settings to-performance-AA to 4x-AF-2x-texture sharping checked-then go to open gl settings to default color depth-set to-always use-16-bpp- then to buffer flipping mode to-use block transfer ,then to vertical sync to-default,apply and click ok,that might do the trick,my monitor adapter-refresh rate is a optimal,this is a p-111-1.2 gig tualitin cpu/asus-tua-266-mobo/1-gig of ecc-pc-2100-low parity-not-registerd ram/GF-4-4400-TI-Gainward-golden sample/win-98-se-monitor-m-991-dell/sony flat-trinitron/these settings might not work with other rigs but I also did this with the nvidias-44.03's and it worked,so I did have problems before,also not to forget in bios that (vidoe cache) or vc mode not the USWC-(uncacheable,speculative write combining)seems to mess things up or freeze cmbo/cmbb but other mobos can do it with the right mobo-dvrs/bois set up :eek: :eek: [ October 04, 2003, 03:55 AM: Message edited by: TufenHuden ] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
