areyouforit Posted February 8, 2002 Posted February 8, 2002 strange picture.radar, if you start the computer then do you see something or do you get that image inmediately?(my first post helpfull post here)
Guest Cylor856 Posted February 9, 2002 Posted February 9, 2002 In response to the update request, my issue is still unresolved... however, I'm still stuck at the point where I'm going to have to try the game with a different video card, so there isn't much I can do for now.
Guest Radar Posted February 9, 2002 Posted February 9, 2002 Well, the menu doesn`t evolve into a blue screen or a crash after some time. But I am not able to change the options, or try it in game since it is imposssible to read what it says on the menu :/
Nyarlathotep Posted February 10, 2002 Author Posted February 10, 2002 All, thanks for replying. In Radar's case, I believe Digitalplasma had the same issue.. Though, can't remember how he fixed it..I'm currently celebrating my daughters birthday, but will be back soon !Thanks again for replying !"Doc" Nyar...
Guest redonblue Posted February 11, 2002 Posted February 11, 2002 Nyar,just to let u know that the NOCD fix seems to have worked for me.....runs fine..no lockups...silly error messages.....etc.So cheers for the help & best of luck to anyone else struggling to get game to work.
Guest Radar Posted February 11, 2002 Posted February 11, 2002 They only replied once (with the default FAQ stuff).
Nyarlathotep Posted February 11, 2002 Author Posted February 11, 2002 And the case is still open ?*sigh*.. I've done my best in defending Westwood tech support.."Doc" Nyar...
Nyarlathotep Posted February 11, 2002 Author Posted February 11, 2002 Cool, have fun playing Red !!! :D"Doc" Nyar...
Nyarlathotep Posted February 11, 2002 Author Posted February 11, 2002 Btw, to everyone else.. As far as I can see things, I might loose my job, so currently I'll have to do everything in my power to keep it. Please forgive me for not replying that much the last few days.."Doc" Nyar...
Nyarlathotep Posted February 11, 2002 Author Posted February 11, 2002 Thanks Radar :)Could you let me know what happend with Westwood tech support ? Did they just reply once and never again ?Let me know, cause I'll chase the issue with Westwood one way or another.."Doc" Nyar...
Guest Radar Posted February 12, 2002 Posted February 12, 2002 No problem, Nyar. Real life comes first.
Nyarlathotep Posted February 13, 2002 Author Posted February 13, 2002 Robin, check out the summary on page 31. First thing that comes in mind, set your desktop resolution to 1024x768 16bit. Change the refresh rate to default or at least lower then 75.Another thing, make sure you close all background programs before running EBFD.Let me know how it went."Doc" Nyar...
Guest RobinH Posted February 13, 2002 Posted February 13, 2002 Please Help. I've succesfully installed the game i think, but it just wont run. Autorun screen pops up, select play, cd spins and then just dies. DUNE appears in taskbar at bottom but doesnt do anything. press ctrl+alt+del and says DUNE:not responding. Game worked fine on my older pc with g400 card and less ram, processor umph. Tried reinstalling from different cd drives, changing opengl settings, clearing memory but stuck.
