Mister Frag 0 Posted January 13, 2002 What are your system specs? Specifically, what video card and video driver version are you using? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
surf75 0 Posted January 13, 2002 its an stb 128 velocity Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Frag 0 Posted January 13, 2002 I think you'll have to get a new video card, the STB Velocity 128 is not a supported card. It only has either 4MB or 8MB of video memory (depending on the model), and OFP requires a card with at least 16MB. The Voodoo2 with 8MB is the only supported exception.

Mister Frag 0 Posted January 13, 2002 No, your hardware doesn't meet the system requirements of the game -- you'll have to get a new video card. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Damage Inc 0 Posted January 13, 2002 Well that card sucks anyway so you'd have to get a new one one day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mister Frag 0 Posted June 23, 2002 Then it may work on the Riva 128ZX. But I would check first to see how much memory is in that system, because the 8MB limit is the most it can handle, there are systems with less. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theavonlady 2 Posted June 23, 2002 I can tell you that I once tried playing OFP on a Dell with an onboard ATI RAGE PRO AGP 2X 8MB chip and I could not get normal screens under any circumstances. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ale2999 0 Posted June 23, 2002 ok here the deal, Mr frag is completely right, the cards that u two boys have r not good.

The problem is some feature set of this video card is extremely limited - it can handle only square textures, not rectangular - which is necessary to play OFP. This is exactly what error message says: "Square textures are not supported by HW". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
