Problems with 911FR on XP SP2

[Guest Jeppe]

I have a problem with my 911FR. When im clicking the exe to start it all thats happening is that a black screen comes up and then it crashes. Yesterday it worked by reinstalling the game but today it didnt work. I have the newest omegadrivers for my ATI X800XT. Please help.

Jeppe!

Since your drivers are up to date.. Do you have anything like Samsung PC studio installed? And can you play the EM4 videos? Located in: /data/video

[Guest Jeppe]

Nope no Samsung PC Studio and yes the videos works perfect for me.

[Guest Jeppe]

I did some "research" of my own and the game did actually start for me if i were running World of Warcraft when i started 911FR. Thats a bit strange

[Guest Utrechtterror]

Ok, I'm not a real expert on those logfiles. You have to wait for Stan .

[Guest Jeppe]

Strange today it doesnt start at all. Really strange that it works sometimes.

[Stan]

Do you have a dual core cpu?

[Guest Jeppe]

Nope i got an old model P4.

[Stan]

Nope i got an old model P4.

and did you ever try the original ati drivers?

[Guest ComputerCop]

Now all of a sudden, MINE isn't working! I haven't installed anything new the last time I played. In fact, I remember I turned on my laptop TODAY at lunch to play some 911FR!

Here's the logfile. There's a couple of files it claims it cannot find, but they all exist. I'd like to avoid re-installing if I can, it took so long the first time

EDIT: Yes, I have the newest graphics drivers and no I have not updated them recently. The version hasn't changed at all. Yes I have XP SP2 and DirectX 9.0c. No I have not done ANYTHING to my computer in the past few days.

Disable your antivirus and try runnng it

[Guest Jeppe]

and did you ever try the original ati drivers?

Hmm no not really but Omega Drivers is based upon the original ATI Catalyst and i have never had any problem with them in any game before.

[Guest Utrechtterror]

Try them though

[Guest ComputerCop]

Tried that, no go

By the way Jeppe, sorry for posting my problem in your topic..just thought it'd be better than starting a new one since its almost the same problem.

Stan, do you have any idea why it cannot find these script and font files when they are there? I have not changed anything!! No firewall, antivirus disabled, logfile is as posted above. (and yes, my game is the legal version, I bought it from Atari's website)

EDIT: I GOT MINE WORKING!!!

All I did was download the EM4 config file that Stan created and put in the downloads section, made a backup copy of my em4.cfg, and put Stan's in. Game launched without a hitch! Somehow some of the settings in my config file got erased :wacko:

No idea how, but I'm glad it works! Jeppe, try (after backing up) replacing your em4.cfg file. My computer had the same symptoms as yours: black screen and crash, no intro movie. Different logfile, specs etc, but give it a shot.

[Guest Utrechtterror]

In the logfile you downloaded, the value for the greens shadows was set to 0. Because sometimes this might crash the game

[Guest ComputerCop]

My shadows were set to zero too. Game was crashing a little bit when I first got it. Searched the forum, result was turn off the green shadows. No more crashes.
