Savage 4 Problems..

December 25th, 2000 06:27 PM

Ack! Whenever I try to do anything, the game either freezes or crashes. When trying to play the tutorial, the screen just goes black after it finishes loading. Whenever I try to start mulitplayer or single player, everything freezes when I click "New character" And in these freezes/crashes, I can't alt-ctrl-delete out, so I have to restart, a complete pain in the ass. Here's my system specs followed by the Thuam.err file

Pentium III 500 mhz
S3 Savage 4 with driver 8.16.33 (The one released in October)
128 ram
Creative PC-DVD 5x
DirectX 8.0
The Patch from the website.

Thaum.err:

I'm sure this problem can't be too difficult to solve...something with 3d rasterization or whatever.
