  • Anyone seen this before?

    Well I installed BF 1942 on my new computer. And the pic below is what I get. Now I have uninstalled and re-installed the game and I get the same thing. Does anyone know how to fix this?

        Yep, same thing happened to my bro and his Gta3, seen games that looks that way many times and fixed it with a newer directx version, but as pga said, it is already 8.1 with win xp. WTF is the problem...?? He can't play the game, maybe it is his point of view ti 200 that is putting aliens in his system...

          The fix for this prob. in GTA3 was this file : http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...1_x86_ENU.exe. If you are using windows XP and a Nvidia video card this may solve your problem.

              Worth a try with the R9700 I'd say as well.

                  Sorry about the "missing link". I got it from the read me file on GTA3 and it was working about a month ago. You may still be able to find what you need from Microsoft's website. What the link pointed to was an updated dll file for direct x (d3d8.dll ... I think) that did not ship with windows xp. The file also solves hibernation problems on some systems so that may be a good starting point for the file search.
                  Might sound like a dumb question but have you read the "read me" file that shipped with you game and have you visited the manufacturers web site and checked for issuses discovered after the game was distributed?

                            Yeah, I think the newest ones are supposed to fix it even though they are still beta, the full version should be out soon...
