Curious Artila Dethedrus Posted June 8, 2003 Share Posted June 8, 2003 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt Wizard Posted June 8, 2003 Share Posted June 8, 2003 first, check that your graphics card drivers are up-to-date. If not get the newest one's from nVidia. what DirectX version are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curious Artila Dethedrus Posted June 8, 2003 Author Share Posted June 8, 2003 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.

Ineffable Wingbolt Wizard Posted June 8, 2003 Share Posted June 8, 2003 Geneforge aint two years old and I would suggest you to get 44.03; I remember that I too had problems with Geneforge with one of the 4x.xx series of drivers from nVidia; 44.03 works perfectly and they should give some performance boost also to your computer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Schrodinger Posted June 8, 2003 Share Posted June 8, 2003 Try redownloading from a different site. Sometimes files can be corrupted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's such a shame, newer games require high requirements, when Jedi Knight, and old, 3d(Good graphics...) game requires only 90mhz.

Curious Artila Dethedrus Posted June 9, 2003 Author Share Posted June 9, 2003 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curious Artila Dethedrus Posted June 9, 2003 Author Share Posted June 9, 2003 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Zephyr Tempest Posted June 9, 2003 Share Posted June 9, 2003 I've got a 3d game that requires what a 2d game would requir in 1997. Touche to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious Artila Dethedrus Posted June 11, 2003 Author Share Posted June 11, 2003 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt Wizard Posted June 12, 2003 Share Posted June 12, 2003 what DirectX version are you using? It is known that DirectX 9.0a has got problems to work with "old" games; so if you have DirectX 9.0a I would suggest you to install DirectX 8.1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
