Link had a similar problem and worse it freezes my computer. anyway, here's what i did 1. there is an april 2006 directX version, try getting it 2. get an updated VC driver from ati.com 3. get an updated chipset/ motherboard driver 4. tinker with your prefs.ini file located in the my documents\my games\.. \prefs.ini and set the multisampl
up! i believe this is a great help with people having similar problems like me.
OMFG!!!! IT FINALLY WORKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOT!!!! i disabled the intro cinematics for a change and it worked, i also set multisample=0 maybe that was the answer to all of my pains!! ok, ok, ok... final settings of my prefs.ini [Initialization] ForceTextureUpdate=0 HyperthreadEnhancement=0 ThreadedInitialLoading=0 SkipIntro=1 PreloadModels=1 ModsDir=d:\my doc
ok, just downloaded ati CC i checked the vales and they are ok, "let application decide" whenever possible. i editted the prefs.ini again to "multisample=0" ok, running the game again... *sigh*
@crustacean ok, gonna try that ^^ anyway, i DLed the latest directX 9.0c with april 2006 build, set all the sound/ music FX in the prefs.ini to ")" and disabled my anti-virus and firewall but it still crashed... @_@ im going to try crustacean's suggestion ^^
Link in relation with the above thread, i would like to see the setting of the prefs.ini file where there is no anti-aliasing and all the sound/music are off, i cant set it in the game bcause my game crashes everytime the cinmetic intro finishes. sample... [Initialization] ForceTextureUpdate=0 HyperthreadEnhancement=0 ThreadedInitialLoading=
i already emailed [email protected] with this link. anyway, and how do i check for my "ATI setup"? anyway, i just found out that there is a dx9 april 2006 release, im gonna DL this and install and hope it fixes my problems
HOHOUMM!!! after 6 hours of sleep i am again ready to face the GC2: problem! @frogboy sure thing! but i cant find any anti-aliasing entry there, im quit sure that i can only set it up once i reach the options menu but like i said it freezes right after each cinematic intro anyway here is my prefs.ini file [Ini
i read a few more posts and i saw someone saying to use a tool called "smart exception" so i downloaded it then ran the game... but the computer freezed and it didnt catch any "exceptions" LOLZ! i also browsed my event viewer for some kind of ati/ game related error, all i got was this... Faulting application galciv2.exe, version 1.0.0.1, faulting module galciv2.exe, version 1.0.0.1, fault address 0x00001d74.
ok, last thing i did was to upgrade the nvidia GART driver, i researched the web and found out that this has something to do abt AGP . so im already tired and it's already 6am, i exhausted all of my known possible means to remedy the problem, here's the latest err file Debug Message: Version v1.0X last updated on: Fri Mar 3 17:16:22 2006 Debug Message: Could not find a TGN Serial No. Debug Message: *********DXDiag info follows.
well i intend to buy the game and my friend introduced me to it and said that i could check it out first. no intention of "piracy" here
updated the sound card driver but still nothing... i tried running in in window mode, but suddenly it went full screen in that same spot that it goes crashing while in full window mode then again my rig freezed... disabled all accelerations on the sound via dxdiag but still nothing... anyway, here's my latest err file, it maybe of some help Debug Message: Version v1.0X last updated on: Fri Mar 3 17:16:22 20
