BigAkita Posted May 25, 2003 Share Posted May 25, 2003 First specs: T-Bred 2600+ on a Soyo KT400, Sapphire 9700 Pro with 3.4 Cats, WinXP, DX 9.0a. I installed the game and started it, but I was getting blank spots and lines all over the screen. I applied the polygon patch, but then at the menu screen it just flashes like crazy and all these strange characters are all over the screen. Ok, I uninstall the game, reinstall it without the patch, and the menu screen still goes crazy. Any ideas or suggestions? BTW, I have several other high end graphics intensive games and they all work fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigAkita Posted May 25, 2003 Author Share Posted May 25, 2003 I rolled my Catalyst drivers back from 3.4 to 3.1 and now the game is working fine. I would like to thank each and every one of you losers for the abundance of help I received. Even 1 friggin suggestion or acknowledgment that I had even posted would have been nice. Obviously I was dealing with a bunch of n00bs who have never encountered this problem on their HP or Dell computers. Thanks for nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigAkita Posted May 25, 2003 Author Share Posted May 25, 2003 All of you. It's obvious you may know the game, but none of you know jack about hardware. If any of you want to learn a little, check out a forum I moderate: www.pimprig.com. You will learn more than you ever wanted about computer modding, hardware and software tweaks, and optimization. The only reason I posted here is that I thought it may have been a common problem with a common fix. Guess it wasn't, so I worked it out myself. Our PimpRig forums would never leave a user hanging.

It makes us n00bs if our comps dont f*ck up like yours? Why would you bash us if you figured it out... I mean, what is the point... your game works now, and on top of that... ITS NOT OUR PROBLEM. I think everyone can agree giving help is optional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAkita Posted May 26, 2003 Author Share Posted May 26, 2003 "I think everyone can agree giving help is optional." That is why this forum will not be successful. Giving help is not optional. Why the hell do you think people come here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
korpdeath Posted May 26, 2003 Share Posted May 26, 2003 Read the title of the forum... General PC Chat... so shut the hell up... odds are, half the people here are smarter than your stupid ass. If you don't like this website, leave... no one here wants to listen to your stupid ass comments and complaints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTA3Freak-2001 Posted May 26, 2003 Share Posted May 26, 2003 Jeez man, you can't just expect everyone to answer your question in one day, at least wait a day before flaming us for not helping you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAkita Posted May 26, 2003 Author Share Posted May 26, 2003 A forum should have an answer within 8 hours. I waited longer than that. korpdeath, you are one of the ones who will make this forum die. The only reason I am still posting is morbid curiousity. I received no help, received no ackowledgement that I had even posted, fixed the problem myself, and even posted what the fix was. Yet I got flamed for dissin' your forums. Nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew123654 Posted May 26, 2003 Share Posted May 26, 2003 tis not my forum... Alot of posts I make don't get answered, and I can't find one I made a few days ago about my "custom hummer". hope you have a better answer next time, and good luck!

Rondel Hazmat Posted May 26, 2003 Share Posted May 26, 2003 you sort of posted a fix. "the 3.4 catalyst fix" 1: at the menu screen when it goes goofy; alt-tab out to desktop then click taskbar to go back to game. you should be able to see the main menu now. 2: go to display options and turn frame limiter on. you should be using it with your card anyway (it's faster than the game lol) or just go to earlier (duhhhh) drivers 8 hours is fast even for email service where folks get paid to help your miserable unfriendly ass. I've only seen this question a couple times here, but if you'd done your research you would have found the real work around answer most people don't get this bug, that's why you didn't get an answer. I think you were just using it to spam your half ass lego forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bl0ss0m Posted May 26, 2003 Share Posted May 26, 2003 Also some people *like me* can't afford a 9700pro yet. All i got is a stinking gf3ti200 oc'ed and it aint' even overclocked so high. (if pimprig still got the pictures a while back, i had sent my video card cooling setup). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
