CMR graphics setup........

2 posts by 2 people · 17 Feb 1999 - 18 Feb 1999

I have installed COLIN McRAE RALLY, and during the installation process when it asked which GRAPHICS ACCELERATION card I had, I selected the "Auto Detect" option. When I load the game up and go to the GRAPHICS menu, it lists the DISPLAY DEVICE as DEVICE 0. If I try to change it, there are no other DEVICES available, so it has to stay on 0. Does this mean that I will be playing the game WITHOUT the accelerator card doing anything? I currently have a MATROX MYSTIQUE 220 with an M3D piggyback. In order for the game to keep a half-decent frame rate I have to have all the graphics quality setting pretty low, even with the screen resolution set at 512x384. Which CHIPSET should I use? Thanks in advance for the help! Cary Martynuik

hello again!! , did the "file" solve the problem? concerning the graphics, why not to take into account of changing the whole thing by a RIVA TNT, better results, NO PROBLEM on installation/playing
