Geforce fx 5600 problems

[Sole 0]

Just installed 1.92 BETA and loaded some add-ons... and I'm sad to report that OFP starts up just as green

I know the 1.92 is still in BETA stage so I hope BIS can resolve it in the final version of 1.92

[edit]

for anyone without the bug, this is what it looks like

very explaining isn't it?

1) Make sure you really start 1.92 (you check version number in the main menu)

2) Try using -nomap command line option - this forces using the alternate file access technique for all file access. Otherwise it is used only for files for which "Cannot memory map" message would appear in previous version.

yes Suma, I was aware of the new .exe file, and I also tried the -nomap string (reading readme files has its use )

but that didn't resolve the infamous green screen, like I said before in this thread, OFP without addons works like a charm, but with addons over about 25 mb is a no-go

I believe the problem lies in Win XP, as I was using my new computer with 98SE, and ME, and did not get the green screen problem ... (new comp is P4 3.06GHz, 512 DDR RAM, GeForce FX5600 256mb Gfx, now operating Win XP Pro)

Now I have upgraded to XP Pro, I have exactly the same addons folder, and I now get the green screen error...

I think it is a combination of Windows XP, the GeForce FX5600 (256) Gfx Card, and OFP's coding...

I have WinXP Pro SP1 + GeForce FX5600 (128mb) Gfx Card and the only crashes I've had make me think its related to my Creative Soundblaster 5.1 (game freezes and i get a modem like sound)...I upgraded from GFTi200 1 month ago and I still have my 12 Mod Folders working fine (with much better graphics)...so I suppose the problems u guys are having are related to the GF5600 (256mb) + XP ?

[Moondog52 0]

Nope I have the same setup

XP Pro SP1

128mb FX5600 w/latest drivers

SB5.1

OFP 1.91 and now 1.92

Still getting the same green screen

1.92 beta does not fix the green screen. My friend has the same problem, but it runs fine on my comp. I have around 300mb of user addons. I had him use the -nosplash and make sure his land texture was not to high, but still no help.

Oh crap...This ain't lookin good for me  

I just ordered a new PC :

AMD Athlon XP 2500-FSB 333-Barton 512K

ASUS A7N8X Deluxe nForce2 /1394/Lan/S-ata/Sound 5.1/Dual DDR

2x256MB DDR-333Mhz

120GB-7200RPM-2mb cache

Geforce FX 5600-256mb DDR-5ns

SB Live! 5.1 Player Digital

Perhaps I'll try both Win XP Home and Win 98SE to see if it's an OS related issue...

I had him try that flie heap thing and no luck  

?? what game version do the guys that have the green screen have?? My friend has the GOTY ver.

[Scanger 0]

The way I did it is:

Install Operation Flashpoint(Original)

Install Resistance

Install patch 1.85

Install patch 1.90

Install patch 1.91

Install patch 1.92 beta

Green Screen happening since I changed to fx5600, but 2MB file heap has always worked, even to stop O.pbo error, so it might work for some people, fingers crossed. I hope they fix this problem in the final 1.92

Heres the contents of my Flashpoint.cfg file and it works for me

Look at my NEXT post before resorting to using this.

I also just realised, i hate the splash screens at the start of the game so I opened up the PBO file and removed them...when I use the original scripts.pbo, i get a green screen even with the 2mb file heap...but with my edited PBO and a 2MB file heap, everything works...heres a link to my file

scripts.pbo

put this in your "OperationFlashpoint\DTA" folder

Also set your file heap to 2MB

Eh?

Not really,basically i use Kegetys Quickstarter (im happy to say it works with 1.92Beta as well although u need to look for the 1.92BETA.exe manually 'cos the quickstarter wont recognize it as an executable) from where i manage my 12 Mod folders,for FDF i use their fdf.exe shortcut with -nosplash;HiSky and my Winter Mod... My OFP\AddOns and Res\AddOns are original all my extra addons are in Mod folders

(except editorupgrade102.pbo, OFPEC_blood.pbo, bas_repair.pbo, JAM_Magazines.pbo and ALL the island anims which are in OFP\AddOns 'cos they seem to act funny outside of regular addons) all in all i have 900Mb of addons running

Scanger, a tip: you can disable the splash screens by adding "-nosplash" (without the quotes) to the command line parameter list in the shortcut(s) to the game?.

For example, like this:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

C:\Programs\OperationFlashpoint\FLASHPOINTRESISTANCE.EXE -nosplash

Saves one the tampering with the core game files.

[Scanger 0]

I know about the "-nosplash" switch but with the original scripts.pbo this will also fail, the only way I can work it is with the one I have provided and a 2MB file heap.

We inspected the code resposible for -nomap handling and there is indeed a bug. We are working on a fix. Based on some testing done -nomap in this future patch version will be able to prevent "olive green" screen caused by addons (there is no guarantee it will work for all users though, as olive-green can have various reason).

Thank you Suma

Even if it doesnt work, BIS's effort

to resolve this problem will mean alot and help to narrow down this problem.

C:\Programs\OperationFlashpoint\FLASHPOINTRESISTANCE.EXE -nomap

Everytime I try to add the nomap to a shortcut it tells me it's not valid?!?

[killswitch 19]

C:\Programs\OperationFlashpoint\FLASHPOINTRESISTANCE.EXE -nomap

Everytime I try to add the nomap to a shortcut it tells me it's not valid?!?

You're adding -nomap to the wrong shortcut. Its the 1.92 beta that you should add it to. 1.91 doesn't recognize -nomap.

Make a shortcut to the 1.92 beta .exe and edit it as follows:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

C:\Programs\OperationFlashpoint\FLASHPOINT192BETA.EXE -nosplash -nomap

[Powerslide 0]

Same deal even with the 1.92 beta. Still getting green screen and target parameters wont work.

[killswitch 19]

Remove any quotation marks in the "Target" field of the shortcut. I see that it ends in

...-nosplash -nomap" <- note that last quotation mark?

Also, if there is one " in the beginning, remove that one too

[Powerslide 0]

I tried that, I get

'C:\Program' specified in the target box is not valid
