To be the whipping boy in multi-player? Hell, it works that way in Day of Defeat for me.

Doesn't happen in debug mode? Unitialized variable I say!

Try Combat Mission. It's only available over the web, but it's widely renowned as the greatest Wargame of recent times.

Do what I do and hide inside the buildings. Then they can't hit you.

In general, is it advisable or even necessary to reinstall DirectX after you change graphics card drivers?

Yeah, it does look like its messed up. I'll try those drivers, but I may just try re-installing Win2k. Thanks folks

Is anyone having problems with running Demo2 under Win2k? Whenever I run it, after the video has finished, I get a "Memory could not be read error". I installed Service Pack 2 the other night, and I have a P3, with a GeForce 2 and 256Mb memory and I installed DirectX8. Any ideas? Edit: Argh! Not a good sign --- Debug log opened --- Can't create D3D device D3D Returned error: D3DERR_DRIVERINTERNALERROR Thanks [ 06-28-2001: Message edited by: crivens ]

In my defense I did upgrade, but I fell foul of VIA & GeForce 2 problems, so I downgraded back to my trusty ATI. Out of interest, how many other new/recent games are purely Directx8 compatible?

I meant that UT runs fine for me; the graphics are of good quality with only some visible graphics artifacts occuring where some walls join (not all though).

My ATI card works perfectly well with Unreal Tournament in D3D, so I presumed it would work with any game that uses DirectX. Or is it because you're using DirectX 8? [ 06-23-2001: Message edited by: crivens ]

That's the one! I knew it was a word. Anyway, I tried downloading official ATI drivers for my Fury and I disabled the options in the BIOS according to the FAQ, but the HUD graphics are still screwed up. Oh and my keyboard seems to be ok now - I was getting some strange things happening but that's been happening a lot recently anyway. Damn Windows is all messed up.

Hmmmmm, the HUD graphics flash sparodically (is that a word? it came to mind). The movement keys dont work, so my little character wont go anywhere or do anything. Ok, time to switch into I'matechiesoI'dbetterreadtheFAQandthenfixthisdamnthingbeforeIgotobed mode.

It was on the VoodooExtreme discussion: http://xfer1.fileplanet.com/fpnew/gamedemo...entid=172881356 Post #283 on this page: http://www.voodooextreme.com/comments.taf?...6885&_start=251

Well the FilePlanet download doesnt work - it told me I was queued, and when my turn came, I got file not found. Oh well!

Personally I don't want to exercise any rights to carry or own a gun for personal safety. In my (extremely naive and dreamy) opinion, I shouldn't need to exercise such a right - it basically means society is screwed up. I live in Ottawa.
