Seasoned Roamer Shilaroud-the-second Posted November 6, 2003 Share Posted November 6, 2003 i have the full version of geneforge, i have the latest version of directX, 9.0, windows 98 4.1.0, 128mb RAM, 5215 MB free space, when i copy the exe file in the patch to the old exe, the game will start up but the screen is black, i can hear it working, and if i move the mouse around the sound effects of the start menu still sound, but i cant see anything. I have also tried to just drag the new to the old, but the same problem happens. i dont even try to start the program, it just starts up automatically. Any help?

Ineffable Wingbolt Wizard Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 update your graphics card drivers if you're using NVIDIA-card then go to nvidia.com and download newest ForceWare-drivers If you're using ATI-card then go to ati.com and download the newest Catalyst-drivers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easygoing Eyebeast Enraged Slith Posted November 10, 2003 Share Posted November 10, 2003 Okay I had the same problem, and still do, but my shortcut is the only one that is messed up. I just load the game off of the start menu and it's fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seasoned Roamer Shilaroud-the-second Posted November 11, 2003 Author Share Posted November 11, 2003 mine works fine normally, its when i try to patch it that it messes up, so if i open it from anywhere it works fine, its when i drag the patch exe onto the orginal exe that it messes up...
