MrSqueezy Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 Hi, I used to play GF on W98, no problem. I now have XP, with DirectX9, works fine with current games like CallofDuty2, HalfLife2, etc. But I've just installed GF again, and it plays the intro cutscene fine, then, when Manny hangs up his cloak in the locker, which looks like it's switching from cutscene to game proper, the game freezes with nasty pixellated artefacts streaked across the screen. The GF troubleshooting says I'm missing a whole load of DirectX files. I guess this is the reason for the freeze - but what should I do, as I have the latest DirectX properly installed? (I tried installing GF's old DirectX6, to see what would happen, and it didn't let me.) Thanks Mr Squeezy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruuser Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Are you running the game in any compatibilty mode? If so, turn it off. For the pixellated artifacts, here is what I did: When in the game, set the graphics option to use hardware acceleration. If it is already using hardware acceleration, choose the other option, resume game, immediately come back to graphics option and set it back to acceleration. Hope this helps.
