It might be your video card, but I wouldn't bet my life on it.

Maybe it is since the video card that supported in the game must support HW-T&L and my card doesn't but my friend does since he has a radeon and its supported but there is aprogram called 3danalyze that makes the game sees that the graphic card supports HW-T&L
any comments or suggestions
or i will have to upgrade anyway
any help appreciated

I know people with shittier machines that can play it with little problems. I have 2 suggestions: 1) Get a better video card -- mine (geforce4 mx440) was $130 (canadian) and works great for this game. 2) Make sure you dont have a bunch of other programs open when you play. I usually close just about everything for optimum preformance.

Oh, and more ram is always a good thing

Download this to test the preformance of your video card -- it takes about 5 minutes to run: http://gamershq.madonion.com/download/?3dmark2001.shtml

My stats:
OS: Win2K Professional 5.0 Service Pack 3 (Build #2195) CPU: AMD K7 Athlon XP, 1.40 GHz Video: Plug and Play on nVidia GeForce4 MX 440 (1024x768x32bpp 60Hz) Sound: Avance AC97 Audio Memory: Used: 111/256MB Uptime: 2h 26m 37s 81ms HD: Free: [D:] 11.45/27.50 GB Connection: Accton EN1207D/EN2242A Series NDIS 5.0 driver @ 10.0 Mbps (Rec: 94.10MB Sent: 7.47MB)

bout the graphic card its not easy since am askin for many stufff and about the other programs i dont think that its causin the problem since i closed everything when i first tried it and never worked well i mainly think its the graphic card since mine doesn't support HW-T&L except with a program and it stops at the endin of the loadin i dunno if anybody experiencied this problem but if anybody did and found out how to solve plz repyl then

Hey guys could this be coz of the drivers ??? since i installed the 40.xx one i dunno if its supported by my card or not ??? should i return to 30.82 and give it a try or not

[Stezo2k]

well i heard that some ppl have probs with the Detonator 40 drivers so that might be the prob, however i have no probs at all with any game

Stez

[RPGlover12]

i think so am gonna give it a try and install the old drivers and see the change

[RPGlover12]

The drivers still didn't fix anything ??? any help guys

[Josep]

pretty sure its still a multiplayer beta, so just say screw it for now, it'll more than likely be fixed in the final version
