Guest Cylor856 Posted February 9, 2002 Share 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 Share 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 :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Radar Posted February 12, 2002 Share Posted February 12, 2002 No problem, Nyar. Real life comes first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyarlathotep Posted February 13, 2002 Author Share 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 Share 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.
