Help! The buildings, tanks etc. are all white and gray!

Everything except the landscape (and sometimes the guns) in the game is corruped somehow, where everything is gray and white.

I'm always updated with the latest drivers and patches.

I believe the demo version looked fine when I played it before the full version.

What is wrong? What can I do?

I have attached an image file from within the game to this post.

PIII 733mhz, 256mb RAM, Gainward GeForce4 MX440 64mb, Win ME, DirectX 9.0 a, the latest drivers for the graphics card, 1.3GB available diskspace for the game. Motherboard: Matsonic 7117c.

Anything else you want to know?

Yes, it's a Via chipset and I already have the latest hyperion drivers.

I don't know, but I might be missing a certain folder in the Battlefield-folder.

Is there suppose to be a folder called "Xpack" or something somewhere? I don't have that anyway.

I Don´t have a problem when running the demo version of the game though :-/

I have used the default videocard settings, but that dosen't work either.

I don't remember what kind of resolution I was using when I took that screen dump, but I have tried different resolutions.

I have no problems though when running other games like Return to Castle Wolfenstein.

Could I be missing some graphic-related file/s in the game?

i noticed that certain dvd players can corrupt the game during installing the game .

might try to install from a different medium then the normal dvd or cd player

solve white / dark screen problem

There is a conflict between your graphics card and your onboard integrated graphics on your motherboard.
Go into your BIOS and disable your onboard integrated graphics.
This also can be done through device manager.

I am out of town right now, so I haven't been able to test your recomendations. But as soon as I get home (probably in a week) I will test them.


Wargasm:

You could be right about the DVD-problem, because I did install the game (at least one of the two discs) with my DVD-player.
So I'm gonna try to reinstall the game by only using my ordinary CD-player this time.


When it comes to the onboard integrated graphics, I don't know if I have that. And since I'm not able to use my computer right now, I'm unable to look at BIOS and Device maneger.

I did just now download the user manual for the motherboard but I could not really find any "onboard integrated graphics" written there. It just says that I do need a graphics card to be able to use the computer. However, I did find this written in the BIOS section of the manual:

"Video Default: EGA/VGA
This item defines the video mode of the system. This mainboard has a built-in VGA graphics system so you must leave this item at the default value."

Is this what you mean? So I'm able to disable this when I get home, and the game should be fine?

When you turn on your computer, your monitor should display something like "To enter BIOS, press the "Delete" button now".

So just do what it tells you to do...

well maveric it is simple to see if you got 2 places to connect your monitor cable you got an inbuild vidcard .

or they put a nice black plastic cap on it .

Well, I don't have another monitorport, other than the one on my graphics card, so I guess I dont have integrated graphics.

The built-in VGA graphics system i wrote about has got nothing to do with it then?

Alright. I will try the reinstallation without using the DVD then, and hope that it works.

    I ordered like five blocks for 15 dollars. They're just little aluminum blocks with holes drilled into them
  • Varine Varine:
    They are pretty much disposable. I have shitty nozzles though, and I don't think these were designed for how hot I've run them
  • Varine Varine:
    I tried to extract it but the thing is pretty stuck. Idk what else I can use this for
  • Varine Varine:
    I'll throw it into my scrap stuff box, I'm sure can be used for something
  • Varine Varine:
    I have spare parts for like, everything BUT that block lol. Oh well, I'll print this shit next week I guess. Hopefully it fits

    I see that, despite your insistence to the contrary, we are becoming a recipe website
  • Varine Varine:
    Which is unique I guess.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Actually I was just playing with having some kind of mention of the food forum and recipes on the main page to test and see if it would engage some of those people to post something. It is just weird to get so much traffic and no engagement
  • The Helper The Helper:
    So what it really is me trying to implement some kind of better site navigation not change the whole theme of the site
  • Varine Varine:
    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats

    New recipe is Shipwreck Dinner - https://www.thehelper.net/threads/recipe-shipwreck-dinner.193511/
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air
