Before switching my mainboard (MSI K7T Pro (MS-6330)), the game just play very well on my system, and also no problem with applying the upgrade patchs to version 1.2(at that moment, patch 1.3 not yet release). Until I proceeds to campaign mission “search and destroyâ€, I switch my mainboard to Abit KT7A (Mainboard Version 1.3), all problems come! I can’t continue the campaign, because after I finish the campaign mission†search and destroyâ€, when I click on “continue†button, the game just crash back to desktop without error message, it happens every time when I click on “continue†button.
I tried to reinstall display driver, DirectX, patching VIA 4in1 driver to version 4.35 and also uninstall the game, delete the game folder, and reinstall the game! Now, I even can't finish the first mission (game version is 1.0) of the campaign (after I finish the shooting training the game crash back to desktop and still the same, without any error message). Then I tried to play the “single mission†to see whether the problem is unique to campaign only. Now, I discover that after I finish any single mission, when I click on “continue†button the game still crash back to desktop similar to above.
I tried to applying the patch, but the patch just doing nothing this time, similar to someone that already discuss in this forum. Ă‚
Finally, I decided to make a clean install of my Win98SE OS, so I reformat my C drive, reinstall Win98SE, patching VIA 4in1 driver to version 4.35, and reinstall the game, the problems still exist, crash back to desktop, even I patching the game version to 1.2 (Now, I can apply the patch 1.2, but patch 1.1 and 1.3 just doing nothing (I download all patch on official site)).
Now, I believe that the problem maybe reside on mainboard, the only difference I know between MSI K7T Pro and Abit KT7A (ver. 1.3) is the chipset, MSI K7T Pro is VIA KT133 and And Abit KT7A is VIA KT133A.
Does anyone have any idea about this? Sorry, hope all of you can understand my poor English.
I also have sent an email to the game developer yesterday; hope they will help me to solve these problems.
