fdsman Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 I am having the same problem, does anyone have a fix? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hennerst3 Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 I gots the same problem.. Ive checked that I have 1.06 installed, my graphics an directx is fully up to date.. I guess maybe my graphics card is incompatible (I haves g-force 5500). I've also tried numerous times the right clicking compatibility for 95/98 & 2000 which the resolution boxes ticked an still same.. grrrrAnyone found a solution to fixing it? Or is it just my system just being incompatible.. hmmMaybe a hotfix patch could be made for us XP users.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muis2004 Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 dont know if you tried the 8 or 16 byte option in the game option menu of dune. I have it on 8 byte and compatible mode at win 98 with screen resolution 640 x 480 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have it on 8 byte and compatible mode at win 98 with screen resolution 640 x 480Ya I tried that also :(Maybe it's just not compatible with XP an widescreen monitors.. perhaps by chance EA will make another dune game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zocom7 Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 This is a bug that hasn't been fixed for a long time.I was hoping for a real solution there soon.I have the same problem too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyerguds Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Might be a refresh rate issue.. try going to 70 or below. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manolito Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I think I found the solution.Unfortunately, the menu screen can't be corrected, but try to change the colour settings to 8-bit in that menu (a bit of a hassle, but you can do it). When you run a mission, the screen is fine. A pity it's 8-bit, but better this than nothing, eh?ManolitoThe compatibility modus wouldn't affect anything, so you can uncheck it (doesn't matter).Along with screen options of 256 colours, resolution of 640 x 480, it won't affect anything(, other than scaling, but that you could do with your monitor options).The "-g" command is also not helping anything.SO,Run the game, change the game options to 8-bit graphics, and you should be fine, at least I am.

Xaptor Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 I too have this problem, and I am running Windows Vista SP2 (since i got a new pc). I've tried all of the compatability options, change resolution, change game options from 16-bit to 8-bit, change the refresh rate, and still nothing fixed. I hate it because I love this game and I really want to play it again.I'll try with my old monitor and see if there are any different outcomes, though I doubt it.
