| 114347 | 2003-01-16 21:41:00 | When you get into UT, select Options and then there's something like Display Mode" which might be Software Rendering or Direct 3D.... Hit Change which should be right below the drop-down menu. It'll then restart and let you change it, try different ones... I would however backup your User.INI file and un-install it and then re-install it! |

| 114348 | 2003-01-17 05:02:00 | I just completed a restore from a good image I had. I installed all my games (not including UT) and tested each one with the good driver I have had from back in the day. Everything worked. Then I installed the grahpics driver from my cards manufacturer. No games would work, About 10 seconds into each one (and sometimes less) the PC resets and comes back saying "recovered from a serious error" I 'rolled back' to the old driver, and lo, everything is fine again. I repeated this process for each of the 5 Nvidia drivers I have, of varying ages, and the result is always the same - the game just dies. I have tried reducing all the hardware settings and graphics accelerations to minimal, but the same result each time. I have absolutely no idea what is causing the fault, but I do know that none of the so called 'unified driver architecture' drivers will work. I found an old driver, one version above the one I run successfully, and that also worked, but not new enough to run UT. I suppose that, given the age of the card, it isn't suprising that support is gone, but I would have thought I could find something about what causes the issue. It looks like I will just have to get a new graphics card! Thanks for your help, Craig. |

| 114349 | 2003-01-17 05:04:00 | One thing I did forget to mention in this post is that the demo version of UT2003 worked brilliantly with the old driver - is there any reason for this?? Cheers, Craig. |
