314950 2005-01-17 01:31:00 Hi, I just got Need for Speed Underground 2, and it doesn't work properly.

When I go into a race or Career mode (ie, in a car), the whole world is pitch black except for streetlights and the lights on cars.

The rear view mirror is absolutely fine, but the main screen is black. You can still drive around, but blindly. Minimap also works.

I can see all lights, but no world.

What is wrong with it?

512MB Ram
Gecube 9600SE 128MB, DirectX 9.0c
Windows XP Pro SP2, all updates
No viruses, spyware, adware
Cel 2.4Ghz, not overclocked
Underground 1 and all other games work perfectly.

314951 2005-01-17 01:44:00 Its a known fault, If its not corrected in the patch then it will be covered by the faq on the official site. Metla (12)
314952 2005-01-17 03:06:00 Yeah I have seen this happen with a couple of friends with radeon cards, the fix is just to turn one of the detail settings (light reflections or light trails or something similar, cant quite remember which one) down a couple of notches and all will come right again lagbort (5041)
314953 2005-01-17 04:50:00 Yay, I'm not alone.

Excellent, will try that lagbort, and will look on the site too Metla.

Cheers Guys

314954 2005-01-17 05:11:00 No luck - tried the v1.1 patch and turning down various things but it still won't work.

Metla, I can't find any mention of this problem in FAQs etc, could you link me somewhere?

314955 2005-01-17 05:47:00 hey.
i had this problem.
put all the performance settings right down, then try it.
if it still the same, try changing monitor settings.
if it's ok, just start putting settings up

314956 2005-01-17 05:48:00 Putting all settings down fixed it, but (oddly) the FPS went waaaay down...

I will experiment now.

314957 2005-01-17 06:40:00 from my experience it would seem the 9600's have a problem with certain fog effects. I would suggest turning fog down or off, or changing the type if possible.

It should then work

Enter to Graphics options, to advanced options

search for Anti Aliasing and turn it all the way down
