I am trying the Omega Drivers one of the guys mentioned.

Edit: The version is 7.12 but i think i will keep this one until 8.3 comes out and hopefully turn out as a fix. I am installing it right now i will report back on the details.

Ok so i have the Omega Drivers installed and so far they are working. I am going to try MxO i will report back.

**Triface**

*sigh* The omega drivers also crashed me with a bluescreen to come. But i am going back to the 8.45 drivers i previously had they never crashed and the only problem it has is the indoor issues. But i think i will contact ATI to try to make a fix for this in there upcoming drivers.

**Triface**

Ok i have emailed VisionTek and AMD and i will see what they come up with.

**Sphairo**

:s Not your day, is it?

**Triface**

lol guess not

Guess what this is what i got from visiontek:

We should be releasing a new driver package early this week that should
resolve the graphics issues with the 2k series AGP cards.

Thank you,

Ok i have done some testing and i moved to Windows Vista Ultimate, and it fixed all of the squares in the buildings and got rid of the lagg, besides of course the vista issues other people are having. But then i reverted back to Windows XP SP2 to see if re-installing the OS might work because it worked in Windows Vista. But unfortunately it still has the checkerboard look.

Here is a close up-to-date picture.

Please Help if you can.....

Ok i might of found a fix, i have downloaded the 8.3 driver which are still not AGP supported and installed them.

This is how i used a little driver tweak i found:

Ok, just so everyone knows... the new 7.12 driver set still does not recognize visiontek 2xxx cards, I am also running Windows XP, so I did the driver hack:

Windows XP/MCE

C:\ATI\SUPPORT\[Current Version]\Driver\Driver\XP_INF\CX_*****.inf

Under "[ATI.Mfg.NTx86]", add the following lines. You can do a search for "HD 2400" to put the lines with the other entries for the HD2000 series, if you wish.

"ATI Radeon HD 2400 PRO AGP" = ati2mtag_RV610, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_94C4
"ATI Radeon HD 2400 XT AGP" = ati2mtag_RV610, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_94C6
"ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO AGP" = ati2mtag_RV630, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9587
"ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT AGP" = ati2mtag_RV630, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9586

The lines can be placed anywhere under the "[ATI.Mfg.NTx86]" section. For example, your entry could look as follows:

[ATI.Mfg.NTx86]
"ATI Radeon HD 2400 PRO AGP" = ati2mtag_RV610, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_94C4
"ATI Radeon HD 2400 XT AGP" = ati2mtag_RV610, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_94C6
"ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO AGP" = ati2mtag_RV630, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9587
"ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT AGP" = ati2mtag_RV630, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9586

C:\ATI\SUPPORT\[Current Version]\Driver\Driver\CX_*****.INI
C:\ATI\SUPPORT\[Current Version]\Driver\Driver\INSTALL.INI

In both files, under the "[WINXP]" section, add the following at the end of the second line, which starts "R6=DriverPath_R6":

,0x94C4,0x94C6,0x9586,0x9587

For example, your entry could look as follows:

[WINXP]
Label=R6,R6_2,R6_3,R6_4,R6_5,R6_6,R6_7,R6_8,R6_9,R6_10
R6=DriverPath_R6,0x554F:0x149218BC,0x7162:0x3001147B,0x94C4,0x94C6,0x9586,0x9587
DriverPath_R6=\XP_INF,CX_52443.INF

after making sure that the correct drivers were running I also disabled
Device manager/System devices/ Microsoft UAA Bus Driver for High Definition Audio.

Everything now works great!!! Please if you are having issues, please try this. I am atleast now content.

--------------------------------------------------------------

So i am hoping this will work i will report back.

I'd love to help you here... but I need 2 files: MSCONFIG and DXDIAG (the full versions - email them to phi@aliciaandnick.com if you can't link to them):
*** Read before posting *** (you know the drill)

In the mean time, run a full system check ( Running Full System Check ) to ensure your textures and animation files aren't corrupted.

Straight away when I look at those screenshots I see that it's the light-mapping that is having a problem. The textures themselves are fine, but the light & shadow maps are at about 33% scale.

Also: NEVER, EVER, run a registry cleaner! They aren't required and cause more problems than they solve. If you need a program to clean out remnants of old video drivers use DriverCleaner Pro ( http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?det=745 ) or buy the latest version from drivercleaner.net

uninstall video card
uninstall drivers
run Driver cleaner
reboot
reinstall new drivers
reboot

Also when go in building i sorta lagg bad. But outside is fine.

EDIT: Ok i have E-mailed you both FULL version files and i did the Full System Check didn't do anything and same for the DriverCleaner Pro.

**phi**

Can you send your options.cfg and useropts.cfg (if it exists) files, too?

I'l have something for you in about 2 or 3 hours... I'm out of the office at the moment.

**Triface** · 03/17/2008 07:05:25

Ok i will do that.

Ok sent.
