Yskonyn Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 I had no problems running CMSF in the past up until either 1.06 or the latest catalyst drivers. I upgraded v1.06 with the all-inclusive v1.08 patch, but the game now crashes after pressing start in the mission briefing. The game loads fine and I can hear the sounds running in the briefing screen, but when I want to enter the 3D world the game exits with an error. Before I try a clean re-install are there any known issues with the latest cats, or shouldn't I have upgraded from 1.06 to 1.08? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlapHappy Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Check to see if your card settings are still the same as before you did the upgrade. I kept having problems with the desktop resolution feature not working at all from the menu system. Turns out the driver upgrade had reset all options and chosen 16-bit color by default. After resetting it back to 32-bit desktop resolution option worked fine again. Of course, that's not nearly the same problem as an overt system crash. Still, it's a good first step in troubleshooting the problem. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yskonyn Posted June 23, 2008 Author Share Posted June 23, 2008 I ran a test with cat 8.5 drivers on my laptop and the game starts normally. Seems I have porked my install on my desktop. :S I'll do a fresh reinstall and see what gives. To be continued... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yskonyn Posted June 24, 2008 Author Share Posted June 24, 2008 I did a clean reinstall and the game works flawlessly again. Seems that updating v1.06 to 1.08 with the all inclusive patch might glitch your install? Note that I haven't changed any display settings nor driver versions. A clean install was all that was necessary. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
