Help with TDR 2000
Help with TDR 2000
Recently found my Carmageddon series (bottom of the cupboard) and decided to play them again, with help from here I got the first 2 to run but with TDR I keep getting a "DirectX error at 0x80070057" when trying to play the second level to release the shark.
I have tried compatablity mode,changing graphic drivers,re-downloaded DirectX 9.0c,with/without the NB patch. The only way I can play the level is if I change to software mode and run the level, it looks worse than Carma1 and runs really badly making the level un-completeable
My Pc has the following :
A64 3500+
1GB Ram
XFX 6800 GT
Plenty of HDD space
Audigy 2zs
PS I`ve even tried some downloaded versions to see if the cd is nackered but still get the same error. If theres no fix I`ll just bin it and keep playing the other two

Re: Help with TDR 2000

Re: Help with TDR 2000
i understand. my c2 wouldnt work for over a year and i was about to kill some one but then i got it working. i couldnt even imagine what wouldve happened if that were to happen to my tdr 2000 game.
Re: Help with TDR 2000
No dice there or its not working properly as I dont get any new options when the game starts (couldnt post a screenshot of what it does could you ) but I did notice one thing when using D3D its trying to use DX 7.1 is there a way to force it to use DX 9.0c with a patch or hack ?

Re: Help with TDR 2000
if you mean take a picture of the game and what it looks like or what it is saying is wrong you can take a picture by pressing the printscrn button and then go in to paint and the paste and the picture you took will be there.
Re: Help with TDR 2000
This is what it does when its starting the level.
I think I know what the problem is now, its not reading my graphic card correctly or does it not recongnise the new graphics card?

Re: Help with TDR 2000
Because its a background for your desktop thats been rezised by the board cause he gave a link instead of an uploaded avatar
Re: Help with TDR 2000
I was trying to run the game in a window that time to see if that would help.
Ah! I thought it might have brought up some more options when using the "-s -f" in the target line,I`ve tried all the options there too, what setting do you use to run it? maybe im missing something like a file or registry key?
Wooops! forgot to crop the image

Re: Help with TDR 2000
Ack! thanks but it still didnt work at least I can stroke that of the list possible causes, that when it says its using DX7.x for render thats not causing it. Thanks for the sreenshot grab

Re: Help with TDR 2000
wow i didnt know you could care so much about something so stupid. a little over emotional i would say and i am one of those 56k users and i can see it fine. but i will change it if its THAT big of a problem to you.
Re: Help with TDR 2000
Okay now I get a different error message after changing the settings to :
Run default graphic card
Res 640x480
Windowed
Is the file corrupted, can I dl a new one or can you re-write the text file?

Re: Help with TDR 2000
hey toshiba-3 when does these settings come up. cause when i do it they never come up. you have to have a shortcut saying shortcut to carmageddon tdr 2000.exe-s. this is right? but when i do it nothing happens.
i thought sense we were on this topic that i would ask this qeustion.

Re: Help with TDR 2000
With mine all I had to do was goto programs > SCI> and select the TDR setup option (should be at the bottom).
Re: Help with TDR 2000
Man, thats the SAME exact error i get when installing the Nosebleed patch
this probbly wont help, but you could always uninstall the patch and then
Re-install it

Re: Help with TDR 2000
i dont have an SCI in my programs
Re: Help with TDR 2000
right okay then right click on tdr2000.exe and create a shortcut, then right click on that and in the target line add -s at the end make sure theres a gap and you`ll get the options.
Re: Help with TDR 2000
when i did that i get the old directx error but with the nb patch i get that one, maybe its fate stopping me from playing it

Re: Help with TDR 2000

Re: Help with TDR 2000
na just right click on the shortcut and in the traget field add the -s or try -f at the end of the line lick this. Hope that helped you

sorry but i really wish i could
Re: Help with TDR 2000
I was joking if you didnt know but could you list or post what the "powerupStrings_uk.txt" + "powerupStrings_ukzombie.txt" files contains inside them on your pc to see if mines differ from yours and I`ll see if I can try to fix it that way.
