kipanderson Posted July 20, 2000 Share Posted July 20, 2000 Hi, During the Chambois scenario, the one with the Poles,some where between turns 10-15 in the orders phase there was a crash. A few of the tiles went purle and then all the tiles turned purple and all textures and features went, the screen looked like a purple negative. I then played another scenario without any problems. All the best, Kip. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Big Time Software Posted July 21, 2000 Share Posted July 21, 2000 Hi Kip, Well, sounds like a ghost in the machine thing. If it happens to you repeatedly, try and note what is going on just prior to the game crapping out on you. Thanks, Steve 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kipanderson Posted July 21, 2000 Author Share Posted July 21, 2000 Hi, thanks for the reply Steve. As you know I am one of your biggest fans so I have been playing a lot and it only happened the one time.I put it down to just being one of those things. All the best, Kip. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaakko Harlas Posted July 21, 2000 Share Posted July 21, 2000 I had the same thing happen to me yesterday. First a few tiles turned white and when I rolled the map around, all tiles turned white. My system is a PII-400 with a Voodoo3 3000 video card. I switched quite a few times between the Windows desktop and CM while I was playing, could it have something to do with that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertram Posted July 21, 2000 Share Posted July 21, 2000 Jaako, I got about the same system (with 128 kb intern memory) and I get the same problems when running to much programs in the background (virus scanner, cordless mouse, e-mail, crashguard, soundmixer, etc.). When I close down as much as possible usually no crashes or weird things happen, but sometimes I get strange tiles after switching from CM to e-mail and back, even if I closed the e-mail program after sending the mail.

kipanderson Posted July 21, 2000 Author Share Posted July 21, 2000 Hi, I should have said what my system is. It's the same as the other guys, PIII 450 with Voodoo 3000 and 128 ram. It has only happened once. All the best, Kip. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigDug Posted July 23, 2000 Share Posted July 23, 2000 Hi... I don't even have the full version yet, but feel like I should say something here. There is this exact type of issue with another game, Red Baron 3D, and Voodoo3 cards. In RB3D, texture tiles will "corrupt" over time, usually when many textures are being loaded/unloaded off the card (there's a lot of explosions, smoke, etc.) The only solution for the problem in RB3D, and one that works rock-solid, is to select the setting for "Limit Texture Memory to 2MB". AFter this choice is made, the graphics never corrupt. This problem does not occur with Voodoo2's, only Voodoo3's. When the graphics do corrupt, entire tiles turn all black sometimes, sometimes white, and sometimes a shimmering "psychadelic" mutli-colored effect. Sounds VERY similar to the problem you describe. Only in RB3D, it's occurs much more frequently, on the order of every 10-15 minutes (as soon as some action starts, with explosions and whatnot). Sounds like it's not that big a problem in CM. Just thought I'd pass it along... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattias Posted July 24, 2000 Share Posted July 24, 2000 DigDug Is that option available for D3D games too? M. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
