The CWA Board

Probally whats causing the error but I`m not going to stick my P4 3.2ghz+motherboard back in to this machine now, thanks for all the help anyways

Yep but not with spangle graphic effects

But I still get to play it at least

<r>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<br/> <br/> "Ah, OK, well that link I sent you should enable Carmageddon 2 to play<br/> <br/> with your joystick plugged in.<br/> <br/> As for Carmageddon TDR 2000, well...<br/...

I`ll give that a try cheers

<r>I included the DXDAIG file and that has everything inside my PC and they havent said it was because of the AMD chip, still haven`t heard from them ithere <E>:sad:</E> , so U fired another email at them today <E>:supermad:</E> .Why is it with techsupport that they always think your confused (inept...

<r>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 ...

Well bought another copy, just waiting for it to be delivered hopefully before Xmas and try again

*crosses fingers and prays to god that it works this time*

Cheers for the offer but I`ve given up on TDR working for me (six days trying to get it to work finally took its toll on me) , at least I can still play the others

Thanks now off to see if it works this time

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.

now fix my problem





JK.

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

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

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.

With mine all I had to do was goto programs > SCI> and select the TDR setup option (should be at the bottom).

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?

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

<t>I was trying to run the game in a window that time to see if that would help.<br/> <br/> 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 fi...

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?

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 ?

I`ll give that a go too thanks, this is so bloody frustrasting not been able to play it

I think I know what you mean different virtull drive programs . Still got the same error. To my knowledge after checking out some sites is this is a new error as no one else has come across it or posted about it

<r>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.<br/> <br/> I have tried compatablity mo...
