Hey Everyone, I am new here. Surfed around a little to find answers, but found none so far. OK, here goes.
1) Whenever I play MP, what tends to happen is this; It loads fine, and starts OK - a little slow, but nothing too bad. Then, perhaps five, ten or even a record twenty minutes later the games suddenly... cracks, for wont of a better word. I can suddenly see all the shards that make up my surroundings, and MP himself. Also the menu becopmes blurry and I cannot read the words.
This is not all that bad - I can still play. However, the situation gets worse with the enviroment looking even moe cracked until it is impossible to distinguish objects from men, etc.
Finally at some point, fairly soon after the original crack in the graphics, the game freezes.
2) Occasionally, normally preceding a 'crack' my blue mouse pointer turns up in game, and stays there. Annoying, but I can live with it.
3) This is a general problem - when I download 12.41 drivers and attmept to use them, it says it is not a Win32 valid application. From whatever source, even Nvidia.
Specs:
PIII 500 (Works fine - never had any stutters or anything)
32MB Riva TNT2 Ultra
Soundblaster Card
224MB RAM
About 10GB of hard drive left from original 19GB
Not sure on motherboard - someonme tell me how to find out? Or RAM type - help would be appreciated.
Cheers lads - Leave you to think up some great answers in my time of need
