Geforce 2 MX Agp Problem

***Nikkel*** · December 26th, 2000

Right....i bought Sacrifice et blah blah..

I installed it and it comes to the direct3d hal screen. I select either direct3d T&L or direct3d hal. ( Whats the difference ? )

Then it just tryes to load and crashes.

I fixed this by disabling AGP support in dxdiagnostic.
>>start>>run>>dgdiag>>display>>etc

Anyway i have thr following.,,,

K62-500
196 ram
3d Prophet 2 MX made by hercules
Crystal soundcard
Fujitsu DMA 66 10gig
Ambient Modem
Realtek Network card.

Right i did have dx8 and it ran like ***T !
So i formatted.. Anyway i am using Nvidias detonator 3 drivers for the geforce2 i have also tryed using the hercules ones to but found that the nvidias works better.

I have the lastest Ali AGP drivers etc.

The problem :

Sacrifice does not run very well on my system i know Sacrifice is a demanding game but it should be playable on my system !!

I click on the system information on the game screen and it displays that my AGP memory is 0 which is correct because i told it not to use AGP right ?

Well my virtual memory is at 600 but that dont make the slightest bit of difference whatever i set it to.

So basically i need away to make Sacrifice run with the AGP support on. or just make sacrifice friggin run well.

I aint taking Sac back cause its a ace game but its really annoying that it runs so crappy on my system.

i play it 800x600 normal textures & medium detail. Fog is on binliner thingys on,
I have fiddled with settings endlessly but doesnt make a great deal of diffenrence in framerate and looks awful lower.
Ive tried it in 640x480 but framerate stays the same anyway.

I could go on forever well this was one of my xmas presents and i spent most if my time on xmas day trying to play this game.

So plz...plz..reply to this message either saying that u have read it and r trying to help or that u have a solution.

Thanks...

Don't replie and say that my system is to crap to run it cause it aint.( or should not be )

Off the top of my head:
1) definitely select "Hardware T&L HAL" when the game starts. I wasn't sure from what you said if you tried this. This tells D3D that you want to use your GeForce card's geometry and lighting assistance. This should help your K6 by reducing its workload.

2) make sure you have no applications running in the background. No virus checks, no fast find, no ICQ/instant messager.

Thanks for your patience.
