Darkover Posted August 7, 2004 Has anyone figured out a fix for this weird problem: Game loads fine and gets to main screen. I click on start game and then a new screen appears that’s says Loading and has a bar. The bar fills a tiny bit (not even 1/4) and then the screen dims and goes back to the main menu! I have tried all of the different resolutions and graphic settings, and nothing has worked. I had this problem on my old system, and the new one I just upgraded to. My system: Athlon 64 3000 Radeon 9800 PRO 256mb Win XP SP1 Any ideas??? Thanks guys 0 Share this post Link to post
bort Posted August 7, 2004 I know that users with Dell Inspiron8200 setups are experiencing the problem whereby when loading a new level, at some point you are kicked out of the game and into the main menu. Some other setups are experiencing this problem as well. I believe this happens due to an error in loading a file during the process. The file that loads erroneously for Dell Inspiron8200 users is evidenced by: "warning: couldnt load guisounds.wav using default" as seen in the console after a problematic load. Ideas Anyone? Im considering a reinstall... but if everyone with a 8200 has the same problem, its prolly not just the installation. 0 Share this post Link to post

r0f3ll0s Posted August 9, 2004 maybe the problem IS the sound... i do have the same problem, and after fading back to the main menue all menue-sound is gone hopefully they'll have a patch soon 0 Share this post Link to post
BrokenArrow Posted August 11, 2004 I have same problem, but only when I try to run the game at High Detail. Setting it back to Medium Detail (and remember, once you change the settings you HAVE to exit the game and restart it) fixed the issue. Basically the game runs great at medium detail, but won't even try high detail. I'm running Athlon XP 2200, 1 gig PC2700 ram, 128MB GF FX5900 video card. Also make sure your AA and Anisotropic filtering are set to application controlled in your drivers (display properties). 0 Share this post Link to post
