My 1337 Machine

Hello,

I'm having a bit of a problem here... My 1337 AMD64 wont play old games. I dont know what to do. I cant play RTCW anymore. The coding must be all fucked up in this game. Everytime i load the game it just crashes. It must be the coding.

Any suggestions?

:violin:

Roll back your graphics drivers. If you have an Nvidia that is.

did you just decide to plunk an AMD64 into your system?

you'll most likely have to format your hardrive if that's what you did.

No i built a whole new machine. msi k8t neo ... ati 9600 xt

roll back drivers? i have been switching cards to try and solve my problem do you mean i might have only made it worse?

i have to formatt everytime i want to play :help:

what do you mean you have been switching cards back and forth?

if you swap nvidia card for ATI card without properly uninstalling the drivers, you can get crashes. download and run this in safe mode to make sure all video drivers are gone

are you sure everythign in your system is intalled? graphics drivers, motherboard drivers, soundcard drivers, etc?

no i was swapping 2 ati cards
my older 9600 and my ati 9600 xt. to see if it was the card. I have to formatt everytime i want to play the game.

I play for a couple hrs.. shut it down at it wont start again. My 1337 rig just hates old game me thinks. :confused:

well it shouldn't "hate" your old games, because it's perfectly capable of playing today's 32-bit games along with 64-bit games in the future.

go to start, run, type dxdiag and hit enter. at the bottom, click 'save all information', and post the text of that file here.

I have the demo rtcw, any my spiffy amd64 runs it fine, although it crashed the first time with a windows xp (sp2) "data execution prevention" error. Could that be it? I had to change windows to allow it to run the mpdemo.exe program.

Sounds like driver problems.

isn't there a system within windows that you can play any game on any old windows, but yes sounds like a video problem, do the directx thing, and also you can roll back vid drivers

any body use oldversion.com pretty cool site???

I was reading another forum and his problem was he hadn't installed the latest patch.
