Sorry, my mistake, this demo only works with a matrox parphelia

(checked it out at the main site...wonder why i didn't figure that out before?)

Has anyone been able to run this DX8.1 game without getting the BSOD every single time? I have tried every single available driver, and 3da doesn't change a thing. Someone willing to try it out? Here's the demo -> http://www.megagames.com/news/html/demos/imperiumgalactica3genesisdemo.shtml

Thats all,
Suerte

Im having that problema also, 'sometimes' (emphasis on sometimes). Haven't really thought of posting it though, the problems not worth the effort as far as im concerned

never did i realized until i saw other screenshots, that engines are supposed to glow blue...but well, you can't ask for perfection

hegemonia works fine with 3da under Win xp and no other tweaks

2.5 SE because i couldn't get it to work under 3.0

QuoteIm talking about C&C Generals, I followed all the steps (except for the ones that ask for AM 2.5 SE to be installed ) and ran the game and it doesn't work

So, did the game work before that you use the SFFT drivers ?

Yes, well....partially, i got it to run with missions and everything but i didn't have any textures, and i couldn't see the units

QuoteC&C Generals stopped working with these drivers

Not sure that Garth is speaking C&C Generals since this game needs a difficult workaround and without being sure of the result...
Perhaps he's speaking about C&C Renegade ?

No, no. Im talking about C&C Generals, I followed all the steps (except for the ones that ask for AM 2.5 SE to be installed ) and ran the game and it doesn't work.

C&C Generals stopped working with these drivers

So what about Homeworld 2 ?

Well just in case anybody wants to know i got it to work...

Together with 3d Analyzer and the NuDrivers 2k (for voodoo 5) the game actually worked fine

Sys Specs:
3d Analyzer
NuDrivers 2k
Voodoo 5
3d Analyzer (w/ Spider Man fix on) <- i don't know why, but it worked
Win XP

The main question is, what do the NuDrivers have that Amigamerlin drivers don't. Please try to see, because many games that don't work with Am drivers sometimes do work under NuAngel's drivers

Well, i've tried it all, i give up.

Despite the fact this game SHOULD work under Win XP (it works under Win 98) it does not. I've tried many drivers, currently running the AM 3.0 XP drivers. Tried many things in 3d Analyzer but didn't reach anything.

So has anyone got any idea how to get the game running?

Facts:
Works on win 98 with AM 2.9 drivers and AM 3.0
Its a DirectX 8.1 game, and many DX 9 games work with V5

My Sys Specs:

The only thing you have to enable in freelancer (under win xp - voodoo 5 5500 - NuDrivers 2k) is directx textures and the game will work with no textures missing
