Hammer Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 I recently installed the Combat Mission: Shock Force Demo with poor results, in that the video card signal to the monitor would die within a few minutes of starting game play. The game was still running, I could hear the game sounds come and go as I alt-tabbed in and out of the game. The reset button was the only solution. I had also been having problems with the full version of TOH. Both problems have been resolved. If you have a similar problem check this link from the TOH forums Peeps with AGP cards . I own one of the early copies of the first Combat Mission and played all versions PBEM and solo over the years. I don't get much time for gaming any more but its great to see the CM tradition continue! The new engine seems great from the demo. I'm placing my order. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwolf Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 This is the monitor turning off because of a too high input frequency. Most likely caused by CM:SF obeying to your screen resolution, but not your refresh rate, ending up with a higher refresh rate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammer Posted August 6, 2007 Author Share Posted August 6, 2007 meaning I could have lowered my screen refresh rate? or? Never mind that question. If, as you suggest, the engine is not paying attention to the display settings, changing them wont help [ August 07, 2007, 06:29 AM: Message edited by: Hammer ] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiloAlpha4 Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 lol mine crashes constantly usually within 5 minutes to 10 minutes of playing a mission. Maybe they shouldn't have made it open gl or whatever 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fencible Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 My ATI Radeon 9800 has been running CM:SF without any problems on my MS XP pc. I haven't updated the drivers for at least a year. I've run it with 'balanced' video settings and 'best' settings. It runs slow with the 'best' settings and large forces, but I haven't had any crashes yet. I've got the resolution option set to 'desktop'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
