TSE demo not working on ATI 9200.
by Nathan Tran · in Torque Game Engine · 06/04/2004 (11:33 am) · 80 replies
Hi,
My setup:
ATI 9200 128mb
DirectX 9b
Catalyst Drivers v4.5, v4.6beta
I get the following problems:
The demo runs but when I load the walkthrough all I see are the UI overlays, and occasionally the skybox and a floating cube with a flow chart texture. Everything else is purple.
Screenshot:
Things I've tried:
- Checked AA setting. Made sure it's on application pref
- modified the pref file: forcePixVersion = 1; forcedPixVersion = 1.3;
Any suggestions?
Nathan.

I'll try Driver Cleaner anyway--probably wouldn't hurt to run it and make sure.
Farcry ran fine with a reasonable amount of shader lovin' going on, so I know it does at least that. :-)

I always uninstall my Cat.drivers and Control Panel (what a PITA ;-) ), and yes--I had my D3D settings set on "Quality".I'll try Driver Cleaner anyway--probably wouldn't hurt to run it and make sure.

Do you have the latest build of the demo?

FYI FarCry works fine because it is a high profile game and both ATI and nVIDIA made sure their drivers work for it. Someday we will hopefully get the same love from the IHVs.

I said that because it's working fine on our 9600 in-house. I think it's running on Windows 2000.FYI FarCry works fine because it is a high profile game and both ATI and nVIDIA made sure their drivers work for it. Someday we will hopefully get the same love from the IHVs.

I pretty well gave up on it, but if you'd like to try to get it to work, we can give it another go.

Yeah, I understand that part Brian (that ATI/ nV are more open to working on the huge games). I'm just trying to be helpful to you guys (and want to have some fun checkin' out the shaders). ;-)I pretty well gave up on it, but if you'd like to try to get it to work, we can give it another go.

If you can upgrade sometime soon, please come back and post to this thread and tell us if that solved your problem.

Ah, OK Eric, looking back on your original post, it's the fact that you are running on 4.3 drivers with WinME. I highly highly recommend you upgrade to 2000/XP not least because ATI and nVIDIA aren't keeping their drivers up to date with that OS. 2000 will probably run better on your system than XP, FYI.If you can upgrade sometime soon, please come back and post to this thread and tell us if that solved your problem.

OK, I was afraid of that, but thought maybe it was just for the older cards only.

Could be a red herring. I'm just sayin'. :-)

Hmm... another Athlon/Via KT133 chipset system. That makes three listed here, I think? (unless you don't count mine. *sniff*). I'd bet Sabercyd's is too. Could be a red herring. I'm just sayin'. :-)

Tried it, no effect. Thanks, though.
#34
Also - do you have the latest directx 9.0b?
06/08/2004 (11:07 am)
Jim - what screen rez are you running the demo at? Are you letting it do auto textures, or are you forcing to high? Try running at 800x600 with the textures forced to low. That should help.Also - do you have the latest directx 9.0b?
#35
Don't feel like you need to get it working on my machine for me. If you feel this is waisting your time, then skip it.
06/08/2004 (3:28 pm)
I grabbed the latest version of DX just to make sure, but it didn't help. Tried the 800x600 with low textures and that didn't work either. I also tried changing my image settings on my video card to performance, but that didn't help either.Don't feel like you need to get it working on my machine for me. If you feel this is waisting your time, then skip it.

btw, I do have a "Athlon/Via KT133" setup like Eric mentioned. The Motherboard is a Giga-Byte K7XE.

The only thing I have to ask is are ya'll running your windows updates to get all the other functional packs downloaded...I did that when City of Heroes came out because the game wasn't working right and it fixed all the problems.Rich
