OddjobBiB 0 Posted July 21, 2002 Hi guys, I got a mate who's GF1 just blew up recently. It had no problems running OFP. He went out and in my opinion foolishly bought a Kyro2 card. Since then OFP has refused to run. He gets to the Codemaster log sometime before it crashes to desktop, sometimes even to the startup screen where the vehicles are rendered fine. Pressing any choice results in a desktop crash. Hes downloaded the latest drivers for the card with no results. So is OFP compatable with the Kyro2, the readme file says Kyro is supported but no mention of Kyro2. Has anyone got a Kyro2 which will run OFP, if so did it run without tweaking or did you have to do anything to get it to work. I need your help here lads, I'm missing killing him.

theavonlady 2 Posted July 21, 2002 Does OFP's Flashpoint.rpt file have a report of the crashes? Paste back here the main error message (not the entire file). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lazarus_Long 0 Posted July 21, 2002 The Kyro2 works fine with OFP. I had one of those myself for the longest time until I finally upgraded to a GF4. It's not a bad card at all, but the lack of HW T&L forces you to leave out a few goodies here and there, especially in the new Resistance. Try this: 1) Make sure the video card has its own IRQ and is not sharing it with anything else. 2) Make sure you have the lates drivers from the Hercules.com site (Duh) 3) Don't beef up the graphics settings too high, the Kyro2 will crash if you overwhelm it. 4) Make sure all remnants of the old video card is gone. 5) In your BIOS, make sure to set AGP 2x and NOT 4x, your AGP Aperture to 64MB (unless you have more than 512MB RAM), and make sure to disable Fast Write. Good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Placebo 29 Posted July 21, 2002 Just to add to what Laz said, I've been using a Hercules 4500 64mb Kyro2 with XP and the 15.084 drivers and Opf runs fine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OddjobBiB 0 Posted July 27, 2002 Sorry for the delay getting back guys and thanks for the replies. Looking at some of the answers it might well be one of those. I'll e-mail him this topic address so he can look and try your suggestions. At least now we know that OFP runs ok with the Kyro2 which is a good start at least.
