Turok 3 - Shadow of Oblivion (U) [!] Runs, Graphical errors, including Screen too dark,

weapon dissapears when you lean forward, Arrows seem to not shoot right i.e. too low, lines through cutscenes, Crosshair is blackened out in a square, and the start screen is flashing. The default CF of 3 causes the game to lock up, yet does not affect 1964. CF of 4 makes the game run without lockup. The game is Non-Playable!


How to Make this Problem Happen:
Run the game with default settings.

Runs

Yep

, Graphical errors, including Screen too dark,

Looks ok with Jabos, and nearly perfect from initial testing with Rices.

Arrows seem to not shoot right i.e. too low

You have played this game before right? Try holding down the fire button to draw the arrows back before shooting

lines through cutscenes

Haven't noticed that in my initial testings.

Crosshair is blackened out in a square

Looks fine to me.

and the start screen is flashing

Looks fine to me also.

The default CF of 3 causes the game to lock up, yet does not affect 1964. CF of 4 makes the game run without lockup. The game is Non-Playable!

It does indeed lock up at CF3, CF1 seems to run fine though from what I played. I would consider this game to be playable at the moment, got to test it fully later though.

I will post again later.

Sound isn't present for me though (it disappeared upon reloading a save).

 

[bryantonline]

Game is playable with Jabo's 1.5.1 yes, but it still has the lines through the cutscenes. ANd as for Rice's 5.2.0 these screenshots, if the forum will let me post them, are what I get using it.

 

[bryantonline]

These are not even all of the problems, it will only let me post 5 at a time.

 

[Trotterwatch]

Now check these out then Bryant...

First 6 with Rices D3D - the latter 2 needed minor settings changes to look like they did. In game is near flawless, except for some characters appearing on screen when you are moving around (like they appear thru walls, all white or all psychadadlic).

 

[Trotterwatch]

Here is the 6th D3D picture, plus a shot of in game using OpenGL - this looks pretty much flawless, except the cursor seemingly randomly changes,(never to a complete black block though, unless normal combiner is ticked) and the energy bar is black.

Jabos runs the game flawless, except for cut scenes.

 

[bryantonline]

Still having the same problems after deleting the registry entries. The problem is mostly with D3D, but I am still having problems with OpenGL too. The D3D is still having the same problems as above, and the OpenGL is still not showing the characters in character select.

 

[bryantonline]

As with this pic, and the other one too.

Few things to note:

1) DO NOT use the lastest Detonator drivers, not a good thing, use the latest Certified drivers.

2) Try switching your "Combiner Type" to "High End Video Card", IF you using the "For Nvidia TNT/TNT2/GForce Or Better" setting as quite a few people had bad results from using it, and the "High End Video Card" seems to solve alot of probs (black/white boxes, textures not showing correctly, etc.)

 

[Rice]

The Nvidia TNT/TNT2/Geforce combiner is for TNT/TNT2/Geforce/Geforce2 MX cards, not for Geforce2 TI or later and better ones.

 

[bryantonline]

I am not using that setting. I have always used the For Higher End Video Card Combiner!

 

[Rice]

bryantonline

Why do you have normal blender and normal combiner enabled? They are the worst options, supposed to be used only if you have the worst video card. By using them, you are not even using any valid combiner and blender.

Move you moust pointer over these two options to read more about them.

 

[Rice]

You'd better to use the official RiceDaedalus5.1.0.ini to overwrite your own one.

 

[bryantonline]

OK, Rice, I got it fixed. Thanks to all who put their 2cents in. Thanks Rice for pointing out the combiner stuff. THanks Trotter for helping me with this too by posting pics I can compare to. My pics should now look the same. Now I can continue my testing with Rice's plugin, with a renewed vigor. Now that I know how to work it properly with DirectX.
