7600 GS: Game nolonger starts

cpre5 · 03-28-07, 06:28 PM

I dropped my 6800 Gt for a 7600 GS just to hold over till I can get a new system.
However after installing the card the game locks up on a black screen.
I tried old drivers, new, and Beta. re-installed the game and so on.
I saw someone had the same issue and deleted the intro movies and it works, but mine just goes back to the desktop.

Any ideas?

Xp
AMD 3200 2GHz
1g ram
7600 GS 512

Did you delete both movies ? there are 2 of them at the start of the game. Renaming them may not be enough, move them out of the dir or delete them altogether.

I was the one that had that problem, it was related to Media player having problems. Possibly due to the large ammount of porn on my harddrive.

your problem may be different, how far does it go before it drops back to the desktop ?

yes i deleted them both, even the folder after it still didnt work.

With movies : Black screen locked up

Without: Black screen 2 sec, then back to desktop

Hmmm was the game starting with your old card ?
Did you install directx that came with the game or the latest microsoft one ? (both should work)

Dunno mate, cant think of anything else it might be.

Sorry

Have you tried running any other games yet ?, make sure the card is running them at least, you may have gotten a dud.

Oh and you plugged in the extra power connector on the vid card ?
