T34vsTiger and AC3 Filter Config (Need Help!)

trek · 12-31-09, 09:27 PM

I'm having trouble getting TvT to run after doing a reinstall. After troubleshooting, it seems like the AC3 Config filter has something to do with the game not starting.

I'm getting an "Unable to initialize 3D driver error message."

Does TvT use this program and what are the default settings for TvT within the AC3 control panel?

AC3 is not affecting any other game I have, so it must be only relevant to TvT. Anyone have any experience and info about this?

trek you need to supply more information details before you can expect anybody to help you.

Yeah, ZeeWolf you're right. Scratch that first post. AC3 has no bearing on TvT.

Starting TvT seems to be sporadic. Sometimes it will start and sometimes not. When it freezes I sometimes get a black screen. I then have to task manager out of it.

Task manager is showing "active movie window not responding."

I've reinstalled TvT several times now, and have installed the "unofficial patch on this last install, and also all the "msvcr files."

I've had the original install since TvT first came out. I did the original game msvcr files fix at the beginning. I would have a very rare game hangup on some starts but nothing like now after the reinstall. I tried installing the new TvT beta mod and it failed for me. So I had to uninstall the game.

I'm a longtime modder and most of my games have installed mods. I just installed the mods for SFK42. I've always been able to fix a problem with any mod or game gone wrong in the past. I seemed to be stumped on this one, though.

Anyway, if you have any ideas on a fix for me I would greatly appreciate it.

Try updating your Direct X then you will probably need to update your video CoDecs. But because you still have not supplied any system info you make it impossible for anyone to really help you.

My System Specs:

Falcon Northwest Fragbox 2 PC
Vista 32-bit OS
Intel 3.16ghz Duo-Core Chip
ATI Palit Radeon 4850GC
500MB HD w/210 FreeSpace

On reinstall the program indicated that the DX was updated on my system and did not need to install.

I'm trying to remember about the Msvcr files. In the download there are five files...are all five supposed to be placed in the game's general directory, or some in other files within TVT?

Also, I'm not familiar with the procedure for updating the codec. I need specific info. Thanks.

Sorry, I'm still asleep, that's a 500GB HD of course. BTW, ZeeWolf, Happy New Year!

I hope with your help I can get TvT fixed, I love this game and SFK42. I also play T72 and SBProPE. I'm a tanker to the core.

Here the files I assumed you had already,

As far as CoDecs for Vista you may have google that your self I know nothing about Vista. A simple fix is delete or rename the files in T34vsTiger\Video directory.
