Problem starting T2D.exe

#1 Well... apparently, it didn't like my 800x600 resolution. I upped it one notch and now it works.

#2 I was replying to your post here but it seems you've resolved the problem. :)

I must admit that it's the first time that I've ever known the TGE/T2D product to not work on 800x600 resolution.

Could you post the whole of the "console.log" file here (or send it me via email) so that I can try to see what's going on?

Could you post your cpu/gpu here in the meantime?

Thanks,

- Melv.

#3 Dxdiag.txt might be of some use (google for how to generate it), will most likely be too large to post as the body of a forum message.

#4 I'm not at home now, but I'll send you that info ASAP. I know that my system is a standard ABIT motherboard, HT 800fsb, P4 2.4g cpu.

Wouldn't you know I posted the wrong section from the console.log. I tried to post the whole thing, but it wouldn't fit.

I don't know if this is a factor, but that very same day, I changed the heat sink on my GPU because the fan died on the old one and was causing system reboots.

#6 Thanks!

Now this is strange. I have seen this problem 4 times now and on every machine, it was an nVidia FX5200. Maybe that's a coincidence though as those cards are very popular.

Can I just check again that this only happens for 800x600?
What graphics driver version is this?

Please feel free to email me any info that won't fit on these forums. :)

#7 Driver version: 6.14.10.5216

I tested every possible resolution and it also fails on 1088x612

resolutions tested and works:
1024x768
1152x864
1280x720
1280x768
1280x960

#8 Does this do the same on the DirectX/OpenGL settings?
Does the TGE demo have the same problem?
Do any other games show this problem (using the same DX/OpenGL)?

No rush to try these Darren, only if you get time and sorry for the problem.

Thanks,

- Melv.

#9 1. I'll try that tonight
2. Don't have TGE
3. No

Actually, I'm running at the higher resolution, so my problem is solved.

#10 Darren,

2. I was referring to the TGE demo.

Sorry to be a pain, I was just trying to find out what is wrong so that others don't get it.

Not a problem. :)

- Melv.

#11 I understand. I'll do whatever I can to help you guys out. I'm really excited about what T2D is capable of.
