Schrullenhaft Posted November 13, 2001 Share Posted November 13, 2001 What resolution are you trying to run CM at ? For your iMac I'd suggest 640x480 or maybe 800x600 at the most. You are running at 16-bit color or higher, correct ? How much memory do you have on your computer and what is your configuration for Virtual Memory ? Have you turned off your Power Saving features (though I don't know how much of a difference that may make to your current problem) ? You say that you're using the latest and greatest OpenGL version, is that 1.2.1 or 1.2.2 ? If it is 1.2.2, you may want to revert to 1.2.1 (which comes with the 1.12 patch for CM from their FTP site). OS 9.1 should have the latest appicable drivers for your ATI video chip. Are you allowing all of the ATI related extensions to load up ? CM is actually a RAVE-based game rather than OpenGL, but an update to OpenGL was needed in the past for some Macs with ATI Rage 128 Pros on board to run CM properly. That's all I can think of at the moment. You can search the Tech Support forum and probably find some more suggestions/answers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmead Posted November 13, 2001 Share Posted November 13, 2001 How much memory do you have? Assigning 60 mb to CMBO is a very good start especially with OS 9.x. After upgrading/sidegrading your video drivers don't forget to trash you CMBO prefs in the prefs folder in the System folder. Please let us know whether or not it worked. CMBO and OS9.2 do not get along well together, I wouldn't suggest any OS above 9.1 and I run 9.04 on my 400mhz iMac and 8.6 on my Rev B. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted November 13, 2001 Share Posted November 13, 2001 CMBO will not run on iMacs with only 6 MB of video ram unless the video is set to 800x600 or 640x480. There is not enough video RAM to support it at 1024x768. It does the same thing on my iMac 233 with 6MB of video RAM. As far as the version of Mac OS to use I am running Mac OS 9.2.1 and CMBO works just fine. David 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got 9.2.1 and the only thing I really ever experience is it "losing" the mouse (which might be a whole lot of things not related to the OS). And that only requires me to unplug/replug the mouse. Anyway, I guess your mileage may vary. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted November 13, 2001 Share Posted November 13, 2001 I think the warnings on OS 9.2.1 may vary depending on what Mac you try to run it on, what other hardware you have and what software programs you're running. Some people have experienced problems upgrading to 9.2.1 (from 9.1, etc.) and playing CMBO. They could before the upgrade and now they can't afterwards. The warning probably isn't true universally, but it isn't exactly known what in OS 9.2.1 has problems with certain apps and hardware. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
