[Fluffy86 0]

Hi,

at first sorry for my bad english, but im from Germany

i wanna play Black & White after a long time again.

but everytime i start it, it freezes very often for a very short time and when it goes on you can see some graphic failures. Thoses Freezes appears so often, that it is unplayable.

In the end it freezes and you cannot do anything except rebooting.

 

I tried every graphic poperties an on every it is the same

 

My System: Athlon XP1700+

Epox 8k7a+

Gainward Geforce 4 Golden Sample 750 XP (GF 4 4600)

Soundblaster Audigy Player

512 MB Apacer 266 DDR Ram

Have you ever had ths problem before with other 3D games? Have you tried running "memtest" to make sure your memory is working properly?

make sure you have both patches installed and downoad the no cd patch to match the number your using.

 

this fixed it for me.

 

also make sure you have the latest graphics drivers.

Have you tried differnet versions of drivers for your 4600 video card? Possible sound card drivers as well?

 

Do you have a VIA chipset motherboard?

I had a VIA motherboard, as did my brother. We both replaced them because of problems we were having with our GeForce cards.

 

If you do have a VIA chipset, try this link for some help as well.

We found help for some of the problems we had there. It might help you as well.

 

My last AMD cpu was a 5x86, so I don't know much about the lastest chips they have. I do believe that the AMD Irongates (not sure what that is) had some kind of problem with GeForce cards. If this is your case, check out the nVidia site for information on that.

hey, i think its a problem with athlons/amds/gfx video cards cause i read another page where a guy has problems running it, and he has an athlon, and a gfx 5600.... i got amd 64bit asus motherboard, 3200+ processor, and a gfx 5700 256 meg video card, so it should run, but i doubt it will once i patch it, looks like athlon/amd/gfx users r screwed here
