Gta2 & Halflife 2k pro

[tessx 0]

Pliz help me !

Well here are the two problems:

-I've got a new xp1800+ G4MX440 msi KT3Ultra2 computer and GTA2 goes incredibly fast: with one move you cross the entire city... Ive tried the tab 'frame limit' but then it goes too slow. On another computer running 2k also (a celeron 368 ati rage 8mb), it works fine. I didnt find any patch or anything. What can I do ?

-Now for half-life, no matter wich version ( i tried from the 1.0.0.7 to the 1.1.1.0), on the second computer (the celeron one), the game only runs on software mode, and won't run on d3d. In d3d it's ugly, and all transparent objects are black, and when I enter the menu, all i get is a black screen. I've got the latest ati driver.

 

Well if anyone could help for one of these games it would be great. thx

You probably need to upgrade the video card.

Well the game work well on winme before... even if it wasn't incredibly beautiful, it still worked d3d 640*480. anyway I can't change my videocard, it's integrated to the mainboard... I would have to change the mainboard and even the processor...

Have you applied SP3 and DirectX 8.1b? Latest WHQL certified drivers? Motherboard drivers?

For wich game is it ? because hl runs fine on one, and gta2 works on the other one... but none have the 2 games running correctly

Have you applied the above listed patches to both machines?

[tessx 0]

well on none of the machines.

sp3 can't coz i don't have any space left (it takes 350megs), ive got dx8.1a on both, well one motherboard has the latest, but the otherone has a strange packard-bell motherboard, so can't do anything about that, and i don't know what WHQL is. sorry :x

 

personnaly i don't think its directx neither sp3, but maybe the others... as i said earlier, one computer has a problem with gta2, and none with HL, and the other one has no prob. with Gta2 and has with hl.

 

quite complicated, i know ;(

WHQL is a Windows Hardware Quality Lab certified driver. Have you installed the lastest drivers for the ATI card (intergrated video) and the MX440?

well for the latest ati for w2k on their support website they tell me that the latest driver is installed with w2k sp2, and that tou can find it in some folder...

As for the g4 I have it for 2weeks only but i'll check tonight. Thx
