Well I got my new version yesterday from the "sold out" label and still getting this blasted error, I`ve emailed the Techsupport at SCI and so far they`ve replyed with stuff I`ve already did like check DirectX ,update drivers and now expecting them to try and tell me to re-install the game (Like I`ve already did about 15 times now). The only difference between both copies is that ones got zombies while the other has normal peds on the street , Hell i thought I might get the addon pack with it seeing that its been out for so long :mad: :confused:

Anyone who might be able to help you can PM me if its not allowed here, I`m be damend if it dosent bloody work now :help:

i cant remember the address, but there is a site with an uninstaller for all versions of directx, to completely remove it from your computer, as if you'd want to. but if suppose if you had dx problems then completely uninstalling and reinstalling dx would be a good thing...

Well it looks like I`m stuck the game does not like the new graphics cards of today heres what I got from the techsupport

"Ah, OK, well that link I sent you should enable Carmageddon 2 to play

with your joystick plugged in.

As for Carmageddon TDR 2000, well...

I'm going to have to say that it's more than likely that your GFX card

is too good and too new. Even though TDR is the most recent in the

series, it is still quite an old game now (the recommended

specifications prove this if nothing else). The game works, it just

doesn't work in 3D mode (I doubt this will provide you with any

comfort).

There is one last thing to try, but I severely doubt it will work.

Go in to your DXDIAG report and turn off the hardware acceleration for

the GFX card.

Then, if you have a good understanding of your GFX card, you could try

going in to the advanced settings and lowering or turning off some of

the settings.

Sincere apologies, but other than that there is little we can do to

help.

Sincerely,

Matt Ibbs

SCi Games Customer Support"

I`ll just have to play the missions in software mode from now on :sad:
