Sorry that was ignored, I must have missed it somehow. Please post your dxdiag on this thread and I'd be glad to be of service to you. For info on how to post the dxdiag, there is a thread that I've created dedicated to that.

Hi!

Thanks upfirst: That was quick!

Second instead of me making long posts I thought i'd host the DirectX-text file on my server:

http://menem.mine.nu/DxDiag.txt

Makes reading easier I would think? :-)

Second, My computing skill is that of a Sysadmin, which I am as a day job.

In other words, you will not have to spend hours explaining every step for me, just quick pointers would be absolutly great!

Thanks again!

Well, let's try two things first:

1. Go to www.ati.com and get the NEW Catalyst 3.6 drivers. I'm not kidding, they were released yesterday.

2. Go to www.intel.com and grab the latest drivers for your motherboard.

Then, if that doesn't work, try to disable fastwrites and texture accelleration to see if that fixes it. Make sure your AA and AF are set to application preference (off) because of weird issues.

Hi,

I tried it, installed those funky new drivers from ATI. Installed the newest drivers for my motherboard from Intel, disabled fast writes, texture acceleration, And put both those sliders on two tabs on Application preference.

Fired up the game, tried, with no luck I'm afraid... :-(

I do hope you have more suggestions for me?

Later,
Mark

Have you tried simply reinstalling the game? There may be a bad file somewhere....

Ok,

I have now formatted the hard drive and reinstalled windows and the game itself.

First ofcourse installing the correct drivers, for audio, video, motherboard, screen, up till the cdrom drive...

Still no go. I just get stuck again.

May I remond you that it does not happen all the time, usually as long as I stan still and not move the mouse I can put them on and look at what i'm looking. Then put them off (the goggles) and look somewhere else. etc...

I really do think that I may have stumbled on a bug in the game.For I've seen other post's that describe similar problems with the thermal goggles.

Is there a game-engineer who could shed some light on this subject please?

I mean, the posts I've read concern computers that are quite strong as game pc's. And if I look at mine, 512MB, 1.4Ghz, 128MB ATI Radeon 9000, Nice big screen etc, the game should not be a problem for the machine at all.

Plus the fact that other games, like unrealII, starlancer, The matrix, have no problems at all on my machine... :-( All that is leading me to believe that there may just perhaps be something wrong with the game? Heaven forbid ofcourse.

WAIT, hold on...is your video card for a laptop? Is it the Radeon 9000 mobility? If it is there is something special you need to do. There is a overclocking program called "Rage 3D Tweak" and can be found @ www.guru3d.com. Even if you don't have a Mobiliy, try this anyway, it won't hurt your card. Now: set it to force the Pixel Shader Language down to Version 1.0. I don't know where it's lockated, so you'll have to find it on your own.

Ok,

No it is a desktop and not a laptop. I have a "real" video card, not the mobility version.

But indeed the 3d rage trick did help! No more hang ups.

Terrible picture though, but it work's and I can continue playing it now.

Thanks!
