random173 Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 installed emperor after about a year of no playing... (where it worked fine)tried to install now, nothing seems to be different except updated forceware(detonator) drivers and updated directx... the game itself will load, but reallyr eally really wanna change resolution adn graphics options.. but when ever i do, it loads the bg, does the pan down thing, then freezes before youc an see the options available.. only way to fix it is to restart pc.. does it EVERY time...

Atomic Mitten Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 I would advise you to re-install the Graphics card drivers.If that doesn't work then maybe the game too.Can you post your DXDIAG report ? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
random173 Posted November 30, 2003 Author Share Posted November 30, 2003 yea... done that... i just happened to install it while i was waiting for things to download ( getting ready for a reformat) and it did the exact same thing, i thought it was just coz xp was all kinda messed up, but after a reformat, install drivers, it's just the sameusing 52.16 forceware drivers...

Nyarlathotep Posted November 30, 2003 Share Posted November 30, 2003 Make sure you update your VIA chipset drivers, together with your sound card drivers. There is a known issue with VIA and SB Live cards.Also, lower your desktop res to 1024*768, 16 bit, default refresh rate.Try using these modified drivers.

Atomic Mitten Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 I would also suggest you try the omega drivers for your graphics card.Read the readme file once you've downloaded them.Here is the link :http://www.omegacorner.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
