MGPRS2 and TNT

6 posts by 6 people · 20 Feb 1999 - 22 Feb 1999

Hi Since I installed my TNT card ( STB Velocity 4400 AGP 16 Mb ), MGPRS2 did not even accept to start ! I downloaded the most recent drivers from NVidia site ( namely "Detonator drivers" v 4.11.01.0109 ), and installed them. Now, big progress: the game starts ! The options menus are OK. But when it comes to the game iltself - down to the starting grid - the screen shows a very dark image, with strange and erratic colors. Unplayable. Maybe I missed some fine tuning. Any help ? Thanks My PC: Mobo: FIC PA2013 (Socket 7) 1Mb L2 RAM: 128 Mb PC 100 ECC Video: STB Velocity 4400 nVidia TNT 16 Mb OS: Win 98 and DirectX 6 Herv NICOLLE

Nope you have not missed any thing. I have not been able to use my Viper550 (TNT chipset) with Monaco. Maybe Ubisoft will release a patch to make it work. Lets hope so.

I installed the latest Detonator drivers and the graphics quality in MGPRS2 worsened considerably (I tried all the Direct3D settings) with a lot of visual tearing. Going back to the nVidia 0.48 drivers fixed the problem (setting 0 mipmap level and disabling mipmap dithering). BTW, the Detonator drivers are actually slower than the .048 drivers in most of the benchmark test results from the following review: http://www.rivastation.com/results/detonating_e.htm Brian Hi Since I installed my TNT card ( STB Velocity 4400 AGP 16 Mb ), MGPRS2 did not even accept to start !

The answer for the graphics problems is to get a 3dfx card. -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes. cisko [AT] ix [DOT] netcom [DOT] com >I installed the latest Detonator drivers and the graphics quality in MGPRS2 >worsened considerably (I tried all the Direct3D settings) with a lot of >visual tearing.

I was waiting for that :) -- Ian Parker ICQ 21772592 >The answer for the graphics problems is to get a 3dfx card.
Hi guys I had the same problem i set the mip mapping to 0 bilinear filtering and used best image quality, and wow runs like shit of a shovel. Also it supports resolutions up to 1920 x lot. this is on a CL TNT with the detanator drivers. Regards Mike On Sat, 20 Feb 1999 19:20:06 +0100, "=?iso-8859-1?Q?Herv=E9_NICOLLE?="
