Envoy Posted April 13, 2001 Report Posted April 13, 2001 Hey!I downloaded the BCM Demo but I cant get it to work. The Screen only changes the resolution 3 times and then I'm back on my Windows Desktop. I tried it under Win98 and Win2k with the same result. My Configuration is: Mainboard: MSI 6167 Cpu: Athlon 500 Graphic: Geforce 256 GTS Vodoo 2 Ram: 256 MB 133 Mhz Sound: SB Live Network Card: Realtek 8029 Isa I've installed all Service Packs/Updates for Windows and have the latest drivers installed and there are no problems with other D3D/OpenGl Games.I would be glad, if anyone could help me.
Eclipse Posted April 13, 2001 Report Posted April 13, 2001 Also make sure that hte adjust z buffer if rendering depth is unequal is unchecked in the D3D properties for your card.
brendiaz Posted May 6, 2001 Report Posted May 6, 2001 how do you adjust the z-buffer? i go to My computer, Control panel, display options, the settings tap, then the advanced button in the bottom right. After that i get a tab with 5 options: General, Adapter, monitor, performance, and color management. no mention of z-buffer anywhere, not even in the help section.
Soback Posted May 6, 2001 Report Posted May 6, 2001 Hope this helps, Start -> Control panel -> double click "display" -> settings -> advanced -> 3dfx advanced features -> direct3d -> zbuffer optimization -> enable/disable
brendiaz Posted May 6, 2001 Report Posted May 6, 2001 gotcha, thanx, . Got it running and its awesome, even if i dont know exactly whats goin on
Supreme Cmdr Posted May 6, 2001 Report Posted May 6, 2001 brendiaz, what is your system specs? I'm curious to know how Soback knew you had a Voodoo card.
brendiaz Posted May 6, 2001 Report Posted May 6, 2001 Dont have a voodoo, i dont think at least...PIII 550 w/ 100Mhz Sytem Bus 192 MB RAM Sound Blaster PCI512 Sound Card 9 GB Hard Drive Using Win98 w/ DirX 8 3d Blaster Annihilator 2 Video card, uses GeForce 2 GTS Rev chip with 64 Mb DDR
Soback Posted May 6, 2001 Report Posted May 6, 2001 I didn't know he had a voodoo, just made a guess "hope this helps". Don't know how he fixed it though if he doesn't have a voodoo. By the way, lots of people are saying to disable the z-buffering, I haven't messed with it at all, checked it before running BC:M and it's enabled, still haven't messed with it and the game runs just fine. I think it's better to see if something works first, then if it doesn't, start making adjustments, why mess with something if it doesn't need messing with. By the way, I have voodoo 3.[ 05-06-2001: Message edited by: Soback ]
Supreme Cmdr Posted May 6, 2001 Report Posted May 6, 2001 OK. Thats why am puzzled as to how Soback's pointers worked, when you don't even have a Voodoo card. You have an nVidia board and the z-buffer settings are described in the FAQ
Tekrebel Posted May 22, 2001 Report Posted May 22, 2001 I'm wondering... In the upcoming released version of BCM, will I have to disable "Adjust Z buffering" everytime I want to play BCM or is that "bug"? going to be fixed. Not that it is a major problem but it's a bit annoying.
Tekrebel Posted May 23, 2001 Report Posted May 23, 2001 Looks like I missed that part in the FAQ... Thanks SC for answering my question.
