Windows 2000 & Carmageddon 2

[Red_Herring]

Has anyone been able to get Carma 2 to run in Hardware mode in Win 2K? I've got Software mode working (it's at 1024x768 which is odd) runs great but it looks crap.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Nup, dont have win2k.

the reason why its running at 1024x768 is probably becuase you've got yer desktop set at that and you probably have a decent graphics card whcih can't switch lower than 640x480 so it just uses the desktop or deafult res.

Thats what happens on mine anyways.

Thanks for the reply hendbest.

The 1024x768 quirk is still a mystery as my desktop is at 1280x960 and my gfx card has been to the hellish depths of 320x240, with a little fiddl'n

I'm using Win2K, and I use Hardware mode! 640x480, runs like a dream! Try going to TDR settings in your windows menu, and change the resolution o suit your actual screen size.

Ahh Carmageddon 2 dude, Carmageddon Two...

I have TDR and have no problems running it at all but Carma 2 originaly gave me a "Does not work with NT" (or words to that effect) error. If i use a Cracked version of the exe i can get Software mode to work but Hardware mode is a no go.

LDNMaster, i did have a Voodoo 2 SLI setup in my rig but couldn't get it to work properly with this mainboard. I suspect that the 815ep chipset has something to do with that.

My current setup is:

PIII 1G

Asus CUSL2-C (1006) mainboard

384 ram

20 gig Harddrive

Windows 2K - All updates

Gainward Cardexpert Geforce 2 GTS runing Detonator 12

SBLive!

Thanks for all replys.

works with the v2 crack check the cd crack'age thread for a url to it

Ive had Win2K for quite some time, and now, both C2 and TDR work fine. TDR could use a boost..(preferably from a new 900 MHx processor *G*) but otherwise they work beautifully. Try adjusting your visual settings, and if you dont have one, get a 3dfx card. I have a Voodoo3 2000 PCI.

LDN Master, your voodoo overclocked? mine seems to have a ceiling on it of 181mhz. The thing definately ain't overheating (got me shitloads of used fans; two blowing over the component side of the PCB, one sucking air off the other side of the PCB, and one big-arse fan from a P300 on the chip).



also, what tweaker do you use? me use V3Tweaker from voodoofiles

Well it's over folks, i've finally been able to get Carma 2 to run. Though not through DirectX but Glide (not SLI), as i have obtained some custom drivers and a crack for the Voodoo 2. Thanks to all who replied with useful info and those with nothing better to do
