Need Help with Geforce3 Ti200 AGP Video Card: I'm missing Pixels in Games?

[Mingon]

have you felt the card? is the fan running ? might be a chance it could be overheating

Thanks Jeff7181 and Mingon,

Jeff7181,

I tried all the Anti-Aliasing settings with both 16bit and 32bit and no change.

Mingon,

I don't think it's heat, since it was also happening with BenSkyWalker's Geforce4 4200... Plus I have alot of fans and my system is staying very cool.

Any other ideas?

 

[Mingon]

Any other info available? e.g. psu type (bizaree I know but sometimes can be a problem) also what directx version are you running?

 

[Ichinisan]

Have you checked the official website for the game developer for patches/updates?

Your friend may have to hack the executable if the developer no longer supports the game...

Ichinisan,

I tried that, but they must have gone out of business... I tried to find their website, and nothing... Here's the link that came with the Incoming game: http://www.rage.co.uk... I also searched for the company name (Rage Software) with the search engines and didn't find anything.

And speaking of my friend BenSkyWalker; where is He?

Mingon,

I don't think it's a Power Supply problem... Here's my System Specs:

Looks like you probably don't have any choice but to hack the executable yourself. Your friend seems to know something about this...I don't, heh heh

 

[Mingon]

I have that game somewhere ill give it a whirl and see if I get the same issues

 

[HumbleFish]

Ichinisan,

I don't even have a clue as to what he was talking about... BenSkyWalker where are You!!!... I hope He's ok.

Mingon,

Thanks, that would be cool.

 

[BenSkywalker]

Sorry it took so long to get back in here.

There is a validation script somewhere in the exe that I can't find My plan was to change to game over to use a different texture format and that would resolve the issue, unfortunately no matter what I try I can't get around the validation process wherever it is. This would be a lot easier if I could get the source code instead of trying to hack compiled

I'm not giving up, but I'm not having a lot of luck at the moment

Hi BenSkywalker,

Welcome back; I was worried about You (thanks LORD).

 

[Ichinisan]

Hmm, I would like to learn what it takes to reverse-engineer compiled executables. What kind of software do you need?

 

[BenSkywalker]

What kind of software do you need?

A hex editor, I use Hackman myself, here is a link to download it(this is a newer version then what I have, have to try it out). I wouldn't call what I do reverse engineering, I can only do fairly simplistic modifications and even then they don't always work(which is what I'm currently having a problem with ).

 

[HumbleFish]

Hi All!

Any hope yet?
