I guess I'm well and totally screwed

 

I just reinstalled the OS on one of the PCs, put in the newest WHQL Nvidia drivers (44.03) and the game is still crashing when I go far enough north.

 

Oh well

Alright, let me rephrase my previous statement (and nimbly dodge to whole chapeau consumption issue

It is not "3D" in the sense that it in any way interacts with Direct3D, which was vaguely implied by a previous post in reponse to my statement about a 2D game not needing any high-end graphic capabilities. I stand by that.

Alright, I'll recant on the "nearly two year old" statement, but it is *NOT* 3D in any way. The entire game is sprite based, or I'll go buy a hat and eat it! ;D

I'll try the 44.03 drivers... I was hesitant to change since 43.45 seem to be more universally "loved" (www.guru3d.com) but it's worth a try.

Nvidia 43.45

 

Not the absolute newest, but one of the more stable to date.

 

And honestly, I can't imagine that this nearly two year old 2D game would need anything real specific when it comes to graphics drivers.

I've experienced these problems on two separate systems to date, so I'm pretty sure it's not just a weird installation issue

 

Anyhoo, here's my system specs (both are running Win2k SP3 on NTFS):

 

AMD 2800+ / P4 2 Ghz

ASUS A7N8X / ABIT IT72 v2

1 gb RAM / 512mb RAM

GF4 Ti4800 / GF4 Ti4400

 

Once I've reached the Pentil area and gone through a few of the surrounding sections the game starts freezing as soon as I reach the travel menu and select a location (new or previously explored).

 

I've tried on both machines, with multiple saves, and now with at least five separate games.

 

What am I to do? I love Geneforge, but this is making it completely unplayable
