Hauk 0 Posted June 1, 2005 Hi everyone, I'm between a rock and a hard place when it comes to trying to get flashpoint working on my computer. Here's the problem. I have flashpoint GOTY installed, and i keep getting the cannot create 3d thing as we'd all know, but i also have counter-strike and tes3: Morrowind installed. Now, i've been recommended to downgrade my drivers to get flashpoint working, which i'm willing to do, but are there any drivers that are compatible with all three games? I updated my drivers to get Counter-strike working, and i didn't think i'd lose my beloved flashpoint. I have heard about the enabling the alternate depth buffer technique, and when i followed screams path to my nvidia settings i found this nvidia settings Here's my system specs: CPU: 866Mhz (runs flashpoint fine) RAM: 256MB GFx card: GeForce 4 MX440 GFx card drivers: 71.84 OS: Windows XP Professional SP2 If there is anything else you need to know to solve the problem i'd be happy to post it! Thanks for the help! Hauk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hardrock 1 Posted June 1, 2005 I can't believe you found nothing about it using the search?! However, put '-nomap' into the application line of your OFP link, there'll be f.i. <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">C:\Whatever\Games\OperationFlashpoint\FlashpointResistance.exe -nosplash -nomap then.

Hauk 0 Posted June 1, 2005 Okay here's a screenie of what you said to do -nomap When i played it again, it played fine for about 30 seconds froze, moved a little then quit out and then gave me that damn cannot create. Any other options? thanks for the help hauk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ste_pa 0 Posted June 1, 2005 yes. you maybe should consider upgrading your graphics card. also, are you using lluamax? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hauk 0 Posted June 1, 2005 But i had Flashpoint working for the last 2 years fine on this computer. i honestly don't know what lluamax is, and i wish i could tell you. You wouldn't happen to know which drivers can handle the three games in my original post would you I'm desperate to get flashpoint working again! Thanks for the help!

sanctuary 19 Posted June 1, 2005 GFx card drivers: 71.84 By looking at some other thread in the troubleshooting forum, you can notice that several people have problems with 7x.xx and OFP Downgrade your drivers, for your geforce 4 , anything between 44.03 and a 5x.xx should be very good while being compatible with the games you are mentionning.

Placebo 28 Posted June 1, 2005 Darkwolf people here will try to help you but you must undertake some basic steps yourself, one is posting in proper English (as it says in the forum rules), another is to structure your posts, sentences, paragraphs, etc. Explain clearly and concisely what the problem is, list fully as much as possible your system specs, they're not too difficult to discover, if need be there are nice applications such as SiSoft Sandra or FreshDiagnose which will aid you in your system spec identification.

BraTTy 0 Posted June 1, 2005 How much is that? lol. I don't find anything under a 9600 pro usefull. So that means no reg 9600,no 9600se only 9600 pro or Xt or better I would look somewheres in the 9800 pro range Raedon is not really best buy right now,best bang for your buck would be Geforce 6600gt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Placebo 28 Posted June 1, 2005 You don't need two seperate threads, merged together. Ebuyer has a number of Radeon cards for under Å100, I've bought from them in the past and haven't had any problems. And please, as I asked, post in proper English, I would recommend not ignoring the request again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
