Hi everyone,

I have a following problem with 3D graphic in chessmaster 9k:

Like you see here, drawning order is set backwards. so the pawns in the back seem to stand before other figures.
Anyone knows how to fix this problem ?

Regards

Unfortunately, the network I'm currently on is blocking Imageshack (why I don't know)...

First things first, have you installed the all the patches for Chessmaster 9000?

  • Chessmaster 9000, Version 1.01
  • Chessmaster 9000, Version 1.02
  • Chessmaster 9000, Version 1.02a

    After that, I'd make sure you have the latest drivers for your video card.

    Just a theory:

    You play as white and Chessmaster is playing as black, but the user is always at the bottom. You circumvented that by rotating the board for 180 degrees. Thats why you see what you see.

    I have the same problem. I run chessmaster 9000 with windows vista, i have a GeForce 8600M GS graphic card and I have all the patches for Chessmaster 9000 and the latest drivers for my video card...and rotating the board doesn't work... nor flipping it...
    I don't know what to do.

    Have you tried running the game in Windows 95/98 compatibility mode?

    yes I have tried to run it in every compatibility mode there is and it still has the same problem. The game was fine until 1 month ago and then one day it started these problems in 3d mode. i believe it is some kind of incompatibility with the windows updates because i have set the updates to download and install automaticaly and this is the only installation on my pc during this period. i have also tried to change the settings on my graphics card but i am afraid of doing more damage than good... the fact is that with the same settings a month ago the game was fine. i even uninstalled the game and re-installed it two times but the problem persists.

    Well, if it's a problem with updates, then chances are you installed an incompatible video driver; un-installing and re-installing Chessmaster isn't going to help.

    Here's what I would recommend: Use System Restore to restore your system settings to when Chessmaster worked. This won't change your data, but then you will have to re-install some of your Windows updates again (just not the graphics drivers).

    Can you still play the game at all, or does the game crash when you start a new game against the computer?

    the game plays fine, the only problem is the 3d graphics. i tried to return to the previous drivers with the system restore but it didn't work. for the moment i am playing in 2d mode.
