Guest Darth Massacator Posted April 20, 2000 Share Posted April 20, 2000 I've been perplexed with this problem since the day I bought the game. Before I begin, here's my specs: PII 350 128 meg ram V2 12meg (Diamond) Win '98 with updates DX7.whatever Open tower case with 3 fans (one of 'em is a 6 inch fan blowing on my V2 card) .....and I have ALL the latest drivers, and the latest patch for XWA. It seems after any heavy use of the game, the colors go real bad the next time I boot it up. Outer space is now blue when it used to be black and the backgrounds (planets, nebula's, etc.) rival Space Invaders. Now, my card isn't overheating, that I do know. I've used both Diamond Multimedia's latest drivers, and 3dfx.com's latest drivers. And eventually they both glitch out on me. Does anyone have any tips or thoughts? Bear in mind, this even occurs after a total reformat of my HD's, and reinstalling Win '98. I'm totally stumped on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ViRGE Posted April 21, 2000 Share Posted April 21, 2000 If you're sure that your card isn't overheating, then it's probably going bad on you. Those are telltail signs of one or the other... ------------------ ViRGE System Apex www.systemapex.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Darth Massacator Posted April 21, 2000 Share Posted April 21, 2000 Cool, thanks for the replies. The card is a little over 2 years old ....very heavy usage I might add. I've always kept my starfield density at either medium or low, but I will check the brightness settings ....why I didn't think that I'll never know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
