Well I have just had a quick look and a Geforce4 TI is around £100 plus thats about $169 see everything in England is expensive!!!!!!!
There should still be a way around it. There's no reason why a newish graphic card shouldn't work with a new game, despite the standard of the game. There must be a way to bypass it.
Well if you find a way let me know cause I love Silent Hill and I was well looking forward to playing it having done the other two. Janine
Konami can't be that stupid as to make it so so many people wouldn't be able to play it. If it is so, there's bound to be a patch released for it sooner or later.
I hope you are right cause I only got this upgraded to this computer last year and can't really afford a new graphics card yet!!
Nor me. It's a fairly good graphics card. I was having problems with Final Fantasy 7 too which refuses to work too. Kinda sucks cos two great games refusing to work cos of my graphics cards. Ah well, always got Pro Evolution Soccer 3 and Halo to fall back on for now!
is Halo good,I like games like Silent Hill and Residental Evil. I like Undying,do know know anymore games like that?
I haven't played Halo too much - I got Max Payne 2 around the same time so my attention was diverted there. I can't think of any other games in that genre but if you like RPGs, Neverwinter Nights is very good. I personally don't like RPGs but I got well into NWN. Resi Evil 1, 2, 3 on the PC work fine - I have those three.
For some reason when I installed the detonator thing and went into desktop properties, settings, advance. When I clicked the NVidia tab, it said it'd caused an error in desk.cpl and kept closing the desktop thing down. Led me to believe it wasn't working properly which was rather strange. Damn NVidia!
I have played all resident evil and which driver do you have because the new driver can't remember number for it keep making my screen freeze so when back to old one I had
I was before installing a driver from nvidia.com. Go to www.gainward.com and find your specific driver from there. I installed it from there and although the game still doesn't work, the driver is newer than my previous one and seemingly works perfectly. But after looking over more forums I think you're right - the graphics card just isn't up to the job although on the same token, I think they ought to and may eventually release a patch for this.
Well my email address s NO EMAILS, MSN messenger is NO EMAILS, AOL messenger is KiDAVUK and Yahoo is the one above. If you hear of anything, let me know too! AV
1. No Emails. Thats what PMs are for. 2. The GeForce4MX does not have programmable-anything shaders. The Geforce3 and GeForce4Ti series and beyond have programmable shaders. Refer to my rant on the GF4MX vs GF4Ti for more info.
Oh sorry about the email addresses. My bad. So there's absolutely nothing that can be done about it short of buying a new GFX card? That's gotta suck.
neney1& av_3000, I don't mind a good discussion but could the both of you talk maybe a IM or your own email accounts? Praetor and I are here to help you anyway we possibly can but this thread is sorta turned out to be a "gossip" column.

Well...guess wat guys,u have another person whos having exactly the same problem,and i did wat av_3000 did.Which is download directx 9.0b and the nvidia detonator the version praetor used,but to no avail.Did i mention that i have the exact same idea as av_3000. I can't give up man this has 5 cd's and i wanna know wat happened in silent hill.If u guys got know about any new patch release in Konami pls tell me.Thank you.
Unfortunately I susppect there is nothing short of buying a new video card that will alleviate your problem. As I said before, the GeForce4MX simply does not have programmable shaders and if the game says it needs programmable shaders then you out totally out of luck. No about of tweaking will get those shaders for you (short of tracing out copper paths and soldering capacitors on the card itself).
ah dam....hey maybe u could teach how to shoulder the card.I have the equipment yeah a whole garage full of equipment. well guess the only thing to do now is return the game and hope its returnable.
