Author Topic: Directx8.1 messed up my game (Read 1016 times)

Beach · « **on:** December 16, 2001, 01:14:00 PM »

I have recently downloaded the latest version of Directx8.1 I also downloaded the AHVoice. when i returned into the game, i was loged in but my screen was all (not even sure how to explane it) broken like multicracked window. and the display is all jumbled up like looking through a Prizem. I can however make out the radio text (with difficulty) enough to communicate with people in the game.
I know this is a new one, but if anyone has an idea, pleassssse help.

Beach I hope you made sure your displaycard and drivers were 8.1 approved before installing it?

I mean, you don't have voodoo do you? lol.

Beach,

I had a similar problem when installing DX 8.1 AH would start, I would make it to the tower then get the Blue Screen of Death! What I found out was that there was a file in the driver for my sound card that was mussed up. I un-installed the card then re-installed it using the latest drivers and the problem cleared up. Actually now I get stereo sound while in AH.

Try going into your Program Files/HTC/Aces High/settings folder and removing the video7.cfg file. Reboot the system and try starting AH. It should prompt you for video settings. Try checking frame rate limits at 60 (or 45) fps and checking the "disable palletized textures" box.

That might do it.

Beach,

Sorry to hear about the troubles you are having. I wish I would have seen this thread earlier. I have a GeForce2 and DX8.1 and I am running fine.

Are you using the brand new vid drivers that were posted by Nvidia the week of 12/17? I have heard that many people have had problems with them.

If you are still working on the problem, post your driver info and let us know.

Beach · « **Reply #14 on:** December 26, 2001, 11:08:00 AM »

Yes I am still working on the problem, Im hoping to find a solution. I do have the latest drivers for my geforce 23.11 I believe it is. I cant seem to find an older driver to replace it. Thanks
