Directx 9 problem

Recommended Posts

Hello everybody !

Please help !

I upgraded my system with latest nVidia (53.03) drivers and DirectX 9.0b and my OPF got screwed.

The game will either freeze or graphics start to be green/yellow and made-up of huge poligons.

The poligons part I fixed by going back to 45.23 drivers, but freezing continues.

Also my other games started to freez too....

And everything worked fine before Direct 9 and nVidia update..

I have :

Xp 2100+

geForce 3

512Mb pc2100

Gigabyte 7VTXH

Win XP pro SP1

All the latest drivers (4-in 1 VIA, Creative).

The system does not overheat, CPU runs at 30-40 C

What version of Opf and are you using the -nomap command?

Also search the troubleshooting forum for "green".

I'm using OPF:R v. 1.95beta, problem started with v.1.91

I read "green" topik and none of those sugestions worked.

I'll try -nomap tho....

But I still think it's DirX 9 that messed thing up, since it's not just OPF.

So, is there a way to go back to DX8.1 without reinstalling XP ?

I aint done this kinda thing before but do a search for directx buster on say google.com.Dunno much about it though,just check it busts the version you have.You can then go back to DX8.1

Which order did you install the drivers and DX 9.0b? In the past I've installed drivers and it's messed things up, installed 9.0b again over the top and all was fine smile_o.gif

Originaly - drivers first, DRX second.

But since the problems started - any way possible ;)

Unfortunately I didn't have time to unistsall DRX9 yet, but I will soon and let you know what happens.

Well, here is what happend :

1. Uninstall of DirectX 9 didn't solve anything.

But I fixed the problem by :

1. re-install DRX 9

2. replaced my geForce 3 with geForce 4 ti4200

3. installing latest 53.x drivers from nVidia

4. put back my geforce 3

5. running OPF 1.95 beta with -nomap

At least OPF runs now.
