Problems with Geforce Ti4200
   

Hi men, i have a problem with my graphic card. Gothic II doesn't work with resolutions upper than 800*600. I have already read the Faqs, i downloaded the raccomended drivers (44.03) and the files of Gorath (vsfg ecc ecc).
My pc configuration is: Amd 2400, so w98, geforce ti4200 128...
With upper configuration i have the same problems of the others 3d (like "help game wont start or others)
thank you for your help and sorry for my bad english.....

Hey BoBo_Fell,

welcome to the boards,

Your graphics card isn't a problem, my pal runs the same in his pc no problem
must be something else, Mmm - - win/98, do you have the latest .inf file installed?

I doubt I will help you. I played this game with Ti4200 and had no problem.

I do not really understand what you mean with

With upper configuration i have the same problems of the others 3d (like "help game wont start or others)

Can you try to write it once more in other words?

If i choose upper resolutions the game freeze at startup, actually i can play only in 800*600*16.....
I think it's my graphic card because i have read here

http://www.deafgamers.com/gothic2.htm that this card couldn't cope with Gothic..
Ty for your help

There are several versions retail/oem of this graphics card and have slight variations, they are very dependant on the motherboard/chipset and main memory configuration as well as opperating system, (my pal uses win/xp and its o.k) you must have installed the latest chipset .inf file, how much main memory do you have, what is your mainboard model/version is your bios up to date (if required)

1. your graphics card should be o.k to run
2. your cpu is o.k to run.

what version direct X ?

O.k,

You must have your dma's enabled for your hard drive and your cd-dvd/rom
some dvd drives will not read, you must have plenty of free space on your hard drive, 2.2gb for files and extra for saves.
Do the direct X tests show good results? Have you disabled virus checkers and firewall/type programs. how many running processes do you have? can you check if your cd's work in a friends machine? you didn't give your motherboard model/version/chipset ? how much and what type of memory?
Please return some info's

Directx tests seem to be ok, running process are Explore and Systray when i try to start the game.
My mb is a Asus A7a266 with 512 mb of ram, when it's possible i promise to check my cd's with another pc...

Thank you for the patience....

Hey BoBo_Fell,

1.74gb is not enough, you need 2.2gb plus room for plenty of save games,
free up some of your hard drive space, maybe uninstalll some little used programs?

Good luck
