[Ledaa]

We just got a second computer (my cousin's old 1, but still). Dounloaded Linege, instaled, updated it and such. And this is what i get as a result. :mad:
First of all when i start out the game is says "the game may not be consistant because AGP is deactivated. please activate AGP for consistancy"
Then the game loads, or tryes to at least and i end up with this error mesage [ QUOTE ]

I have no idea what it means and what i can do to make the game run on this computer, if it even posible. Please, help me with this problem.
PS: dont use much of technical terms, I'm largly clueless about computers.

Is telling me you don't have an AGP video card that your using onboard video [ QUOTE ]

So if your ready....

Can you tell me what make and model this computer is so i can do some research on it?

[Ledaa]

System: Microsoft windows XP pro, version 2002, service pack 2.
Computer Intel Pentium III processor, 871MHz, 384 MB of RAM.

Is this what you whant? If no, pls tell me what to find what you whant.
Andi did instaled/updated direct X (was an option in game instaling meny)
PS: feeling such a newb now.. Worth then when i first time started playing this game, then I was able to learn by experimenting and trying, and now I prefere not to try. :p

[Splatter]

Lets start with the basics.....

Is your computer like a Dell, HP, Compaq, Gateway, or is it a home built system?

I also got that error at some point. What solved it for me was updating the graphics card driver to the newest i could find for my graphics card. :)

Hope this can help you solve your problem.

If you can run this program it will do a complete check of your system, then you can post what it says or you can email me the report.

Just let me know which route you want to go and i'll give you my email addy.

[Ledaa]

KK, i'll run that program when I'll get home, and then PM you here on boards.

splatter is legit and trustworthy
but in future if someone tells you to download and run something please think first

[Splatter]

Cann't argue with that statment... But the way i had her run the Belarc Advisor

[Overlorded]

i don't know if this could help but i have a similar problem with another game when FPS were lower than it suposed to be. I've checked the AGP option and i was in disabled.

I've installed the drivers of the mobo (i forgot to do it in the last format) and the AGP was enabled again.

U could try this.

I hope it could help u.

Obviously you re using onboard video, who's drivers do not support the game. You will need to buy a good AGP video card and install it, being a PIII you probablywant to max the amount of ram you have as well to 512 meg. Thats the only fix I can think of. Splatter knows his stuff.

To be honest tho a PIII is the minimum computer to run this game, but its really the barest of minimum, with C4 you'll almost be stopped in your tracks. You would do better to use that computer to run word or excel stuffs and get a newer one for gaming =/
