nishka Posted July 1, 2000 Share Posted July 1, 2000 Hi all, I recently downloaded the demo from 3dfiles.com. Great game! I do have one nagging problem: The game does not allow me to select 3d hardware in Windows 2000. It cycles me through different refresh rates at 640*480 in software mode. Here is my config: P3-933 i840 chipset 256 megs of RAM Creative GEForce 2 GTS Windows 2000 Professional with latest patches installed 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krm Posted July 2, 2000 Share Posted July 2, 2000 Sounds like it's your whole system. Why don't you send it to me and you can have mine ------------------ I'm always in the ****, it's only the depth that varies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximus Posted July 2, 2000 Share Posted July 2, 2000 I don't know, it should work. You have the latest drivers for your GEForce card? ------------------ "I for one, am pretty damn close to Genius"--Ol' Blood & Maximus 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nishka Posted July 2, 2000 Author Share Posted July 2, 2000 Yeah I'm running the latest Creative release. All of my other Direct3D games (those that work in Win2k at least) are working fine. -nishka 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted July 2, 2000 Share Posted July 2, 2000 What is your current resolution under Win2K ? What monitor do you have defined ? CM will limit itself to the current running resolution of your desktop. However I'd easily guess that you're probably running 1024 x 768 at least. More than likely you probably have your monitor defined as a Plug-N-Play monitor. Any chance you could pick your specific monitor model or download an updated inf for it in Win2K ? If you're running a very high resolution (1600 x 1200 +) you may want to come down a bit and try 1024 x 768 and delete the prefs file to see if it will detect your display at any other resolutions.

nishka Posted July 2, 2000 Author Share Posted July 2, 2000 I'm running at 1280*1024.. I'll try switching it down to a lower res tonight when I get back home. Would this also prevent it from going into hardware mode? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted July 2, 2000 Share Posted July 2, 2000 I can only make guesses at this. Among the things to try was possibly reducing the resolution. It is strange that CM is not detecting your video card correctly. I believe that forum member rune did some testing for BTS on Win2K. You can run DXDIAG in your Program Files/DirectX/Setup directory and check out the Display tab. In the middle of the tab is the DirectX Features. If the "Disable" button is raised, then the corresponding features are enabled (as they should be). With the latest Creative drivers do you have a system tray icon for them ? If you do you may want to tinker with the Direct3D settings in that applet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
