Bug Problem: new graphic card

Calahan · #1 July 24th, 2008, 08:39 AM

I had an old Radeon 9600 until recently, which worked fine with all versions of Dominions up to and including 3.15, but then the 3.17 patch came out and I started having problems with it. Had to get a new video card in the end as the old one blew while I was messing around with it's drivers and settings.

'Greed' - Does any version of Domoinions work with your graphics card? Try running it un-patched from just the CD install (which I guess will be version 3.00) or some of the earlier versions (not sure if they're still available for download though) to see if that works or not.

You could try to start the game with the command line option "--noglext" to disable OpenGL extensions in the meantime.

interesting.. I might try that ich
because dom still hangs for me, when unloading... leaves a 75 meg dom process active.

If I kill it manually, all is .. well not fine.. but ok.

I click on the game, it goes to the "please wait" screen than it immediately crashes and it did not work with earlier patches either.

Does it work with an unpatched version from a fresh install?

You should contact the Tech Support from the menu to the left.

It probably is the drivers but before I uninstall them , I'm gonna try to figure out if I can set up a profile so I can actually use the new drivers on other games.
