-=-DUNEE-=- 0 Posted January 13, 2002 Hi there! Wonder if anyone else experienced this... I can't put my finger on what might have caused it, I have been fiddling with my machine a lot more than usual lately. My explosions are all gone. I first noticed it last night in a tank MP game then again today, playing the Red Hammer mission where you land on the beach with artillery support. I saw the craters appearing, heard the bangs but did not see the explosions at all. I recently ditched my old Voodoo3 for a spaking new Gainward GeForce3 Ti450 (a Ti200 for all intents and purposes). I overclocked it to 249/560, ran 3DMark a couple of times to make sure it was stable, installed Detonator 23.11 and the Red Hammer campaign, repatched it to 1.40 and lost explosions somewhere on the way. I suspect the culprit is the new Detonator, as I've seen some moaning about it, after having installed it, of course. Any ideas on how to fix it? --- Begin sysinfo: Operating System: Microsoft Windows 98 Processor: Intel CeleronII 600 @ 950MHz Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce3 Ti 200 Total Physical Memory: 256MB Motherboard Manufacturer: ABIT VH6-II Motherboard Model: I440BX-W977 DirectX Version: 8.0 DirectDraw Version : 4.08.00.0400 DirectShow Version: 6.03.01.0400 Programs running: BlackIce Defender, Norton Antivirus Corp Ed 7.51, NVMax 3.00.72b, DirectCD 5.01 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tlx 0 Posted January 14, 2002 Hi m8 did you do a clean patching to the current version? I remember a thread back then where someone had this problem and it disappeared by clean install of Flashpoint. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Frag 0 Posted January 14, 2002 If explosions and cloudlets are turned on, it should work. The V23.11 Detonators work fine with my GF3 Ti200. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-=-DUNEE-=- 0 Posted January 14, 2002 Doh! Now that you mention it, I did get rid of cloudlets in the vain hope of getting a couple more fps's... Ah, the golden dictum, 'when in doubt, read the faq'. RTFM, RTFM, RTFM!! *thud* I think I got it now  Mister Frag, thanks for the Detonator info. Placebo, huge thanks for fixing the avatar, stupid chez.com don't allow hotlinking no more...
