DarthZorG Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 I downloaded and installed the demo witout any problem, but it doesn't start. I tried everything like disabling extensions limits, or renaming the title.avi file or changing resolution. Nothing worked. My systems specs are : Intel Core2 Duo E6600 2gb ram 2 x geforce 8800Gtx sli Areca 1220 raid 6 controller Dell 3007wfp-hc monitor.

Madmatt Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 What exactly happens when you try and launch it? Do you get nothing at all, or does the screen go black for a moment and then drop back to the desktop? Does the little "busy" mouse cursor appear, even for a second? Check out the Troubleshooting Guide for some other suggestions: http://www.battlefront.com/products/tow/troubleshooting.html Madmatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthZorG Posted April 27, 2007 Author Share Posted April 27, 2007 Hello Madmatt, thank for your reply. Well when i start the demo the busy mouse cursor show for just a second and if i set the resolution to say like 1024x768 the screen change resolution... and that's all... I've been watching the troubleshooting guide and tried everything of it, except disabling sli, wich by default is disabled for games which doesn't have a sli profile (like tow).

DarthZorG Posted April 28, 2007 Author Share Posted April 28, 2007 Hello, so good news first, i tried running ht game from Vindows vista and it works, on vista i still have Nvidia 101.70 drivers (released only on windows update), while on XP i have the new 158.19 drivers. This said i tried to profile the app using depends (http://www.dependencywalker.com/) and here are the result. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Starting profile on 28/04/2007 at 13.20.41 Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP Professional (32-bit), version 5.01.2600 Service Pack 2 Program Executable: g:\theatre of war demo\TOW.EXE Program Arguments: Starting Directory: G:\Theatre of War Demo\ Search Path: H:\WINDOWS\system32;H:\WINDOWS;H:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;H:\Programmi\QuickTime\QTSystem\;H:\Programmi\File comuni\Adobe\AGL Options Selected: Simulate ShellExecute by inserting any App Paths directories into the PATH environment variable.

You can email me, or DMG. ------------------------------------- Is seems related to the OpenGL dll crashing probably on wglGetPixelFormat. I tried renaming the cgGL.dll and it didn't work, the core.dll fail to load. Well hope this helps [ April 28, 2007, 05:33 AM: Message edited by: SIO ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmg Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 Can you try to rollback your XP video driver to an older version? Judging by your log there might be a problem with the latest drivers for 8800.

DarthZorG Posted April 28, 2007 Author Share Posted April 28, 2007 Hello dmg, The demo is working fine on windows vista, i'm provinding the info here to help the developer finding a solution as it might interest other user aswell. I've been trying to start Doom3 (which uses OpenGL aswell) and it also fails to load, so it seems it's really a problem related to the latest windows driver. i'll try to roll back and i'll let you know.

DarthZorG Posted April 28, 2007 Author Share Posted April 28, 2007 Hello again, after rolling back to 97.92 drivers.. the game just runs fine on my 8800. btw i'm sorry for causing any trouble with that log, i tought it could be useful and it didn't look that long compared to some dxdiag.txt found in this forum, but maybe it's just my monitor Anyway next time i will mail you directly.
