rum Posted August 30, 2001 Share Posted August 30, 2001 Hello all. After upgrading to MacOS 9.2.1 my Combat Mission crashing at launch. It is occur before as soon as i launching it, the screen going black and then "Error type 2". It was working fine on MacOS 9.1 This problem is always reproducable on both comp, home G4/400 512 RAM MacOS 9.2.1 NVidia 2 MX, and office G4/466 256 RAM MacOS 9.2.1 ATI RAPE Pro 16 Mb. Any tips/suggestion? May be it is type for CM 1.13 release? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted August 30, 2001 Share Posted August 30, 2001 I don't know if there are new RAVE or OpenGL extensions with OS 9.2.1. You may want to check your System folder to see what is loading up. I heard something about a new OpenGL 1.2.2 extension and I'm wondering if going back to 1.2.1 would help or not. I would also suggest deleting your CM prefs file (if you haven't done so already) and attempt to select a new resolution in CM. Here's a recent thread from the General Forum where some Mac-heads were talking about OS 9.2.1: http://www.battlefront.com/cgi-bin/bbs/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=9&t=001042 Some people have been able to run CM fine with OS 9.2.1, while others have had problems. Right now BTS is suggesting that you don't use/install OS 9.2.1 with CMBO due to some of the issues some players are running into (including problems with some very popular games other than CM). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rum Posted August 31, 2001 Author Share Posted August 31, 2001 Schrullenhaft - Thank you a lot! Shame on me, I forgot to try to remove preference file. After I've done it, all working ok. Thank you again! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmatt Posted September 3, 2001 Share Posted September 3, 2001 By the way, due to MASSIVE amounts of issues with 9.2.1 WE DO NOT RECOMMEND upgrading to it! See this page: https://www.combatmission2.com/Cm_Macos921.html Madmatt 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rum Posted September 4, 2001 Author Share Posted September 4, 2001 Thanks for info, Madmatt. I have installed 9.2.1 because many Open-GL based games runs better on it. I am getting better framerates in WarBirds III and WWII Online. New NVidia drivers (2.3) and OpenGL 1.2.3 seems to be the reason. Unfortuanly CMBO is not OpenGL-based, its QuickDraw 3D RAVE - based. And seems Apple gonna drop RAVE support soon So i can play CMBO at my office comp (with ATI RAGE 128 card), but it is crashed on my home comp (NVidia card). So im looking forward for new versions/patches 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted September 6, 2001 Share Posted September 6, 2001 Just to clarify, short of something on the order of the Second Coming of Christ, there will be no more patches for CM:BO. Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ericfoos Posted September 10, 2001 Share Posted September 10, 2001 OS 9.2.1 on a Pismo 500 here and having no problems whatsoever with CMBO or any other program for that matter. As with any system upgrade, I installed the 9.2.1 update with ALL extensions off. I have seen on some message boards lately people suggesting doing it with the Apple base extensions on, this would probably cause problems since the ATI/OpenGL drivers would be enabled under that config. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
