candlestick 0 Posted March 15, 2000 Installed and patched hl up to 1.0.1.6 or whatever the latest is. When i tried to run it, i got a black screen, couldn't ctrl-alt-del or anything. Ran hl.exe -console and got into the game, but anytime i tried to launch a new game it froze. Tried it for d3d and openGL. System is PII400, 128 megs ram, win2k pro with nvidia 3.78 release candidate drivers (for elsa tnt), sb live! platinum. Any suggestions appreciated Share this post Link to post
Jerry - 0 Posted March 15, 2000 Do you have eax enabled? I find it can not run if eax is on without the beta liveware. Share this post Link to post
candlestick 0 Posted March 15, 2000 I'm using the beta liveware drivers though ... actually, further testing has revealed that my d3d is messed up ... my computer crashes cold when i try the direct3d tests in dxdiag.exe ... tried reinstalling d3d, to no avail ... anyone know a version of detonators that works for sure in 2k? 3.76 and 3.78 don't work for me...

Jerry - 0 Posted March 15, 2000 It's pretty much trial and error with the drivers, they all worked with my tnt so I don't know. Disabling agp in dxdiag and running HL in opengl might might help Share this post Link to post
