Yes this is my last question and if I can find a solution to it I'll be very grateful to thoso who help me.

The problem is that I can't see beyond the central HUD(where you're heading),you know the one look like a circle...Anyway this circle was damn transparent when I first played the demo but when I bought the game,it became a black thing which shows nothing,only when it lockes on a target it becomes grey but still doesn't showing the target...

What can I do?I'd recently reinstalled the game and used the latest patch...I've almost tried every key to see if it changes anything...

Thanks for even reading this far and thinking about some answers.I'll return to my missions after I can find a way out of it.

I'm using 3dfx Voodoo 3000 and while I'm writing this message I'm also downloading it's latest drivers now.I'm playing the game with 1024*768 res. and also with highest standart of graphics available.

 

I'm thinking the same way with you it must something wrong with the card or drivers...When I open the directx setup (Hardware Configuration in the launcher menu)

it indicates that there are some files missing.Even if I copy them from the CD it doesn't look to be affected.

 

But can you estimate why I could play normally with the demo?

Also I'll report after I test the new drivers of my card...

These are the supported chipsets,also I looked at the not supported ones but it isn't there either.

 

I'm using 16 bit color depth and I'm seeing some bad textures while playing with software rendering...

I've got Directx version 7.0a latest..

Knight and garyah thanx for the sites you offered me to visit,but I recently understood that the problem is not caused by a driver file or bug.I think that it's in the game itself.If only I knew how to take a screenshot (I had tried the F12 key) I could send you what kind of situation I'm in.

 

That HUD is a part of the original game I mean it's not bad graphics or something to do with the drivers.

 

I'm thinking that way because after I installed the latest drivers for my voodoo card and directx,nothing seemed to change at all...Anyway I'll learn how to take those photos and send them to you to have a better idea of the problem(It may not be a problem at all eheh)

I believe while in flight, you can use CTRL/PRNTSCRN to take a screen shot. Good luck with your problem.

i have a Voodoo3 3000 AGP and everything seams fine.

 

I got the screenies and these are my comments:

 

Screenie 1: Never seen a targeting reticle like that before

Screenie 2: Same as 1

Screenie 3: Now thats the good old reticle i know and love smile.gif

Screenie 4: This is what the full game should look like.

 

I dont know what the problem is and all i can suggest is turning it down to 640*480 with all the options deselected in general and hardware menus.

 

Looking at all the screenies i spotted that something appears to be wrong with the top left and top center in all of them except the one from the demo. Have you checked LA Support for these problems?

Yes I visited the LA support site you said but I couldn't find anything related with my problem.That targeting system you've seen makes it too difficult for me to play in hard missions...

 

I understood that it's from within the game and I can do nothing about it,anyway thank you for caring and helping me so far...Lol I'll cheat then to get my rights eheh
