Alright I reinstalled the new driver update and all is good. Something must have happened to the drivers during the first install like you said. Thanks a lot for your help LB
Ok Now ive got a new problem. After I finish setting all my game options and try to actually start the game it crashes on the load screen. here is my debug info Debug Message: Version v1.4x last updated on: Mon Oct 23 17:43:56 2006 Debug Message: GalCiv2 is activated. Debug Message: Checking DX Version. Debug Message: *********DXDiag info follows.********* System Info Time: 12/27/2006, 21:16:30 DirectX Version: DirectX 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904) Machine Name:
Well I fixed it. Im not sure why this worked but it did... I dug out my original ATI Catalyst CD and reinstalled the original factory drivers off the cd. Now the game works. Something happened when I updated my drivers that was causing it to crash. Go Figure! Thanks for the help anyway
Can anyone help me with this... it is very frustrating. I have a Radeon 9500 Pro but with I use DXDIAG it says my Direct3D is not available. The end of the debug says: Debug Message: *********END dxdiag info.********* Debug Message: Entering WinMain Debug Message: ******* Starting Game Shell ******* Debug Message: Going Fullscreen Debug Message: Preparing to change display settings. Debug Message: No compatible devices found. Debug Message: InitializeDirect
Yes multiple times
The First time I loaded the game it said I needed to update my drivers. I clicked OK and the game loaded fine. I then exited the game (without playing) and DL the new drivers. Now it wont load at all. It goes straight to a black screen. Debug Message: Version v1.4x last updated on: Mon Oct 23 17:43:56 2006 Debug Message: GalCiv2 is activated.
