TNT and GPL Problems at 800x600 or Greater

by jb » Sat, 06 Feb 1999 04:00:00

I just installed a CL TNT in my P2, 300MHz, 192MB machine and I can only get
GPL in 640x480.  At 800x600, I get a blank screen and the engine sounds
respond to the throttle.  If I try a higher res, the machine reboots.

I am using the latest nVidia drivers and have my core.ini set with
TossHighestMip = 1 ;MipFiltering =2 ;MirrorsEvery = 2. No overclocking on
anything.

I did a fresh install of Win98 and a fresh GPL install and a fresh OpenGL
patch install and still the same.  Other D3D games run fine, as does Quake2
OpenGL.

Any suggestions?

Try the 550245 drivers from this page, fixed it for me.

http://sunsite.doc.ic.ac.uk/computing/vendor/diamondmm/display/

standard settings in core.ini in any resolution, best with mirror
setting=2.

downloaded the latest CL drivers and it worked fine.  I am now using the
Hercules drivers and they work fine too.

I too have a CL TNT, and I use the latest Hercules drivers.These so far are
the best as they are based on the newer NVidia .048 reference drivers, and
the display tabs have a lot of tweaking options.
