Post by CellyCel »

i was like whaaaaat da f*******ck
when i heard about this project !!!!

major props goin out to the developers of this project !!!

now...i downloaded the 1.01 version of the mod...
installed it...
when i run the exe
my screen switches into 640x480 mode,
i see my desktop wallpaper, and i hear the blood sounds !!!
but..
there's nothin showin up...no blood menu, no in-game scenes that fit the sound...just my desktop wallpaper..
i can alt+tab and switch back to my normal windows mode
and back to the game, but all i see is the 640x480 mode...

i also tried to run the new beta version, but same problem there...

can anyone please help me ?!
i would love to play this game again !! now even online !!!

im runnin a P IV 2,4 , 512 RAM, Radeon 9700 Pro, i just installed Direct X 9.c today, don't know if that matters..
and im runnin win 2000...maybe it is because of win2000 ?!

It dosen't sound like there shouldn't be any thing wrong with your specs.
Just as a longshot, have you tried runing the exe from command like under a full screen consol? It may just be that windows is having problems changing between normal windows mode and OpenGL. Do you have any problems with any other OpenGL based games GLQuake for example?

Did you update the drivers of your graphic card recently? It may be the problem. Since Transfusion uses OpenGL, not DirectX, updating DirectX won't help much. You have to install the ATI drivers by yourself I think.

The ATI RADEON drivers for Win2k are here.

im 99% sure it wont run because of my open GL drivers !!

i just tried to run the call of duty addon of my friend, but it wont start...
it says " could not load open gl "

i got catalyst driver 4.7 installed right now..
im sure its no difference, concering open gl, to update to 4.9 right now..
im searchin for open gl drivers now...

i remember there were so called open gl mini drivers or 3dfx cards in da past, to run quake or half life...

Sure. In the menu, go to Options -> Video. Launching the game once with "-fullscreen" in the command line is another way to do it.

That's a ping related problem. You should choose a server with a ping < 200

Actually, there are known issues with the engine that was included with Beta3, which is why Elric has made a new engine snapshot with new netcode in it, hopefully things will be better, but things will limbo a little bit until Beta4 is out I'd guess, but thats what betas are for!
