BFCElvis Posted December 11, 2001 Share Posted December 11, 2001 Just got my system back together after a nasty crash. The first thing I did after installing all the drivers was to crank up CM and I almost cried when I saw it wasn't running right. The "field of battle" seems to be the only thing wrong. All other graphics appear to be OK (ie..the opening page,buttons on the in game screen [play,pause,FF,RW]). Any ideas? Here is what I just got: 1.7ghz P4 64mb GeForce2 MX Family 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted December 11, 2001 Share Posted December 11, 2001 What OS and what driver version do you have installed ? What exactly is wrong in the 3D screens ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFCElvis Posted December 11, 2001 Author Share Posted December 11, 2001 Sorry...so upset I forgot details. I have not downloaded a new driveer so I am using the driver from the disc (5-24-2001) and my OS id Win98 2nd ed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFCElvis Posted December 11, 2001 Author Share Posted December 11, 2001 Updated the driver and now instead of the "battlefield" being black it is white. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted December 11, 2001 Share Posted December 11, 2001 What version of DirectX do you have installed ? Win98SE comes with DirectX 6.1 by default, have you upgraded this (though it generally isn't necessary) ? Are you attempting to play a battle with fog ? Go to Start Menu > Settings > Control Panel > Display control panel > Settings tab > Advanced... button > GeForce2 MX/MX400 tab > most of the Reference drivers should give you some info about the card on this tab, make note of your BIOS version (near the top in the 'Display Adapter Information' section) and the driver version (near the bottom in the 'Driver Version Information' section - just the last four digits is all that is necessary). Clicking on the 'Additional Properties...' button will take you to some additional configuration options for FSAA, DirectX and OpenGL, etc. In the Direct3D Settings tab make sure that 'Enable fog table emulation' is checked. I'd suggest deleting your CM Prefs file and reselecting your resolution. Make sure your color depth in the Display control panel is 16-bit or higher. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFCElvis Posted December 11, 2001 Author Share Posted December 11, 2001 DirectX did it. Thanks. I wonder if I am currently the only one playing with original graphics. I must have had more mods than I thought because it looks different....could be the 3d card too I guess. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
