ThEoNeAnDoNlY 0 Posted January 19, 2005 hey, i have read the post by SCREAm about this subject but it diddnt really help as my graphics card is not geforce. basically when i try to load up Bulldozer, it says something about there being no glide present and then sasy Cannot create 3d device ATI radeon 9800pro and then some other carp. any ideas of how to fix this?

hardrock 1 Posted January 19, 2005 - restart the comp is often a help for me - if your ofp is working copy the flashpoint.cfg from the ofp root to the buldozer root Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr_Tea 0 Posted January 19, 2005 Try another driver, it may help. I got this problem last year with my geforce card. When i got that message, I had to open the driver menu. After that ofp starts without the error. With a newer driver version the problem was gone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Llauma 0 Posted January 19, 2005 You need to change the settings in the O2 options.. Click on the external viewer and add this this in the value field. c:\buldozer.exe -noland -dx -window Just change the dir to where your buldozer is located. I think you are trying to run with 3DFX glide so by adding -dx you'll run with Direct3D which your card supports. By the way this should go into the oxygen forum.

BraTTy 0 Posted January 19, 2005 Ya this topic should be "problem with starting bulldozer" rather than "problem with starting opflash" Llauma nailed it right on the head! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThEoNeAnDoNlY 0 Posted January 21, 2005 yea its just i used to get this problem starting opflash before, the only way i could play the ame was with FDF mod. but then i re-formatted and it works. Guy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MrZig 0 Posted January 22, 2005 create a .bat file in your folder yer using then edit that .bat to have this in it: SUBST Z: C:\Yourfolder As long as you dont have a Z: drive it should work. Then change your O2 preferences to have the buldozer load up from the faked Z:\ drive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThEoNeAnDoNlY 0 Posted January 23, 2005 already done that im afraid. man this is annoying, it used to happen to my origional flashpoint too, i think it happens if i whack the graphics up too much but im not sure. Guy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BraTTy 0 Posted January 23, 2005 Does your Operation Flashpoint run OK? Try copying the "flashpoint.cfg" from the Operation Flashpoint directory to your O2/Bulldozer directory. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
