Duncan Idaho Posted March 1, 2002 Report Share Posted March 1, 2002 Hi, Played for over 8 hours tonight, many intruders, no repeats of the CTD. My guess, just a fluke. I did spot something else. It may be nothing, but starting several new games and checking gave the same results: The Grazer ODS in Pluto's orbit seems broken. It hits nothing. I'm not sure it's even firing, though in 20 minutes of observation between several different new games, it never hit fighters jumping in, or a Warmonger. I only mention it because it pretty much used to protect itself, now I must protect it. (Which actually is fine with me, it's so close to Gazer1 now heheh). I think I'm up for a few hours more play. See you. Idaho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

netshaman Posted March 1, 2002 Report Share Posted March 1, 2002 Hi, duncan, you're right, the CTD with intruders is a driver issue: with 27.30 the game CTD, with the 27.20 and 27.50, 27.51 it runs fine. Have you noticed while in FPM the increased fire rate ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you noticed while in FPM the increased fire rate ?I still use the 27.42 driver set And yes, I have reproduced that FP firing rate issue. Looks like it crept in when the grenade launch cheat was fixed. btw, please update your profile with your driver versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duncan Idaho Posted March 2, 2002 Report Share Posted March 2, 2002 Here's the answer to Scooby's problem a few messages above: I can reproduce the problem where the 'save slot' somehow jumps out in front of the 'Accept' button when trying to restore a game. And I figured it out after it happened to me. Here's how it happens: If you aren't careful when you try to press accept, (i.e. let the mouse drift, or don't hit it dead on), the button will 'unhighlight', if you press it then, somehow the save slot, minus it's text, will jump in front of the Accept button, and then your stuck and can't do anything. Solution: Be sure the Accept button is HIGHLIGHTED when you press it, that solves it. IOW you are saying that the mouse pointer focus is not alligned with the center of the Accept button when you select it? If the mouse pointer focus is moved to below the center of the Accept button, but just above the bottom edge of the Accept button, then select the Accept button it will work ... correct?

Urza Posted March 2, 2002 Report Share Posted March 2, 2002 Figuring that you were definitely using incorrect drivers, I looked at your profile to be sure. And of course, there is NO info in there. Don't make me revoke your posting rights, Urza [ 03-02-2002, 10:55: Message edited by: Supreme Cmdr ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTFN Gallion, That's pretty close. If you hit the button too high (when it's not 'lit'), or too low, you'll somehow bring the save slot that's behind the Accept button in front of the dialog box, and then you can go no further. It seems to me the button is 'centered' okay, it's just got some space above and below the word Accept that you can press without the button actually becoming highlighted, which actually hits the save slot behind it, PROVIDED there's a saved game in the slot. Again, being sure the Accept button is highlighted when you press keeps this from happening. Hope the info is helpful! (Feels good to have perhaps delivered useful info!).

netshaman Posted March 2, 2002 Report Share Posted March 2, 2002 Hi, i just noticed a feature that seems to be a bug, but is it really ? Well, in the RTM i cannot disable or enable all the options listed because certain keys are not responding : the 0,2,7 and 9 keys on the keyboard. Is it a normal feature or not ? Cheers.

Urza Posted March 2, 2002 Report Share Posted March 2, 2002 I can't believe I overlooked the driver version in my system profile. I've downloaded the latest drivers, and updated the profile. Unfortunately, that station still looks funny. I'll respost the URLs for the shots below, and please note to copy and paste them into your browser and not to click on them. Do NOT post links that cannot be reached. btw 23.11 are not the latest OFFICIAL drivers [ 03-02-2002, 14:22: Message edited by: Supreme Cmdr ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supreme Cmdr Posted March 2, 2002 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2002 I forgot that public and dev drivers are different. What was I thinking? Nevertheless, before and after they were released, those 2311 drivers are the worst driver releases to date. The only reason I even think they are still official for the public, is due to WHQL certification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urza Posted March 2, 2002 Report Share Posted March 2, 2002 Okay. So where can I get better drivers? Oh, and sorry for my poor information. [ 03-02-2002, 16:36: Message edited by: Urza ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hazzig Posted March 2, 2002 Report Share Posted March 2, 2002 Here are some nVidia drivers. I think 27.42 is the one to recommmend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Siemens Posted March 2, 2002 Report Share Posted March 2, 2002 quote:Okay. So where can I get better drivers?As you can read in the BCM Troubleshooting FAQ in the Video Issues section, you can find those drivers for example at Guru3d.com. Those guys over there even give some recommendations using smilies... Best regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epsilon 5 Posted March 3, 2002 Report Share Posted March 3, 2002 An Azerty keyboard I'm always lost when I'm installing windows.. since by default it starst with the french-France setting... but I'm used to a french-Canada setting Maybe you should try switching your keyboard setting to a US one... I dunno... Out of curiosity I will try to reproduce that problem. Be back later with the result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epsilon 5 Posted March 3, 2002 Report Share Posted March 3, 2002 Nope the problem is on your side. I verified with notepad that I was truly in a french-France keyboard... but in the game the keys were still in a us layout sheme, like many games do (urgh the "?" is located at the left of the right shit, not over the "6" ) Oh well. Unable to reproduce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordBane Posted March 3, 2002 Report Share Posted March 3, 2002 Here's the problem I'm running into. I'll be playing BCM, and after an hour or two, when I go to change screens, go from the bridge to the perscan screen for example, the game kicks me back to the desktop. I don't have any problem going from screen to screen untill it does this. I downloaded the lastest patch, and that did not fix it. It's not the mouse issue I read on here about, at least I don't think so, because in the example above I had used ALT+P to switch screens. Thanks.
