That's what the game looks like after installing it.

My friend has the same video card (7900gs) with the same driver/DX version.

Somethings wrong.

WinXP Pro SP2 32bit
2gb ram
Athlon x2 5200+ (2.4ghz dual core)

Any suggestions?

Looks fake, but coolish. I'm afraid I can't help, but you / your friend sounds like Bleek (A player)

[radgh]

... No its not fake.

Try installing the latest drivers, not just the same ones as your friend - also the latest Windows updates. If that doesn't work start disabling graphics options until the game looks normal... that's all i can suggest

Is this a tremulous only problem?.. how is the temp in your case.. i've seen that type of thing when the card overheats..

Send me your hacks.

Looks like your video card is about to go up in smoke.

Yes its a tremulous only problem... The only thing I've ever seen that had even remotely the same problem was with Doom 3 - which used the same blue launching window. But doom 3 would crash during that window with an OpenGL error. Just getting a patch fixed that, though.

I have the latest drivers, beta drivers too. They don't seem to fix it though. Tried disabling the graphics options offered by the Nvidia CP but no luck there either. Can't adjust in game options due to obvious reasons...

Send me your hacks.

I figured a video couldn't be photoshop'd (See post #5) but apparently that yields no support from some members here too.

Thanks to everyone else who tried to help, though. Seemed like a fun game but I'd rather just take some shrooms and go play Super Mario 64 with a dusty cartridge.

Install your correct OpenGL drivers. Don't use the beta drivers.

that is really weird was it alway like that?

I have the same exact problem on this computer.


Windows XP Home SP2
AMD Athlon XP 2800+
GeForce FX 5700LE, nvidia forceware 169.21 drivers
2 x 512MB DDR

nVidia has had a lot of issues with older cards in their latest driver releases -- I run a 5200GTX myself, and had issues when I had to run Windows for about a week -- use an older version of Forceware, should  fix everything.
