8472pinkblobs already posted here about that until his thread get lost in a database error (i hope this is fixed now and never happens again) i am sorry for that.
So, can you give me an exact description of the graphics drivers u are using?

Hm, you have the vodoo banshee drivers from 27 Oct 1999 but there is a newer version from 09 Feb 2000.
You can download the newer driver here http://www.planetfalconfly.de/downloads/vo...nshee-10400.zip (http://www.planetfalconfly.de/downloads/voodoo-banshee-10400.zip). Maybe this will solve your problem

Actually All I need is

New Motherboard and prosesser (New BIOS chip means CD-rom and the rest of RAM works)
New Operating System
New Video Card
New Power Supply

And I have about 350MB of RAM

That costs a lot less than a new computer

I have the same problem as pinkblobs!!!  I've tried everything! Updated my graphics driver...played the game in safe mode...tinkered with the res BUT NOTHING WORKS!!  The texture and graphics are all white, save for a few starships.  The rest of the beta 1.1 works flawlessly (excellent mod btw), but the actual gameplay doesn't work...PLEASE HELP!!!   :(

first of all, welcome to the forums
could you pls attach your system configuration and a dxdiag log here? (click start - type dxdiag press ok - save all information..., then attach the file to this thread). Then i will take a look into it and see if i can help you.

dxdiag? What's that?  


Title: B1.1:Graphic - Texture Problem
Post by: DOCa Cola on August 11, 2003, 08:59:15 PM
it's the directx diagnostic tool (as stated in the title)
when you generate a log file it includes info about your system configuration and used drivers. then i try to find any problems with obsolete drivers causing these errors.

Title: B1.1:Graphic - Texture Problem
Post by: DOCa Cola on August 11, 2003, 09:48:54 PM
ok, lets begin :)

Graphic Card
ok, your graphic card drivers are from 4/28/1999
so, there are 2 year newer drivers available (07/16/2001), also as an 3rd party optimized version, i recommend to try these drivers (http://www.omegacorner.com/drivers/w9x-me_v3-4-5_omega_drivers_103_drivers_only.exe)

Sound Card
ok, here is also a newer driver available, yours from 4/3/2000 and on the official homepage is one from 2/5/2000 so a bit newer, maybe fixes some problems too
Download (http://files.europe.creative.com/Drivers/Others/247/sblw9xup.exe)

your directx version seems all ok, another problem could be your comp system itself cause it is a bit outdated, mainly because of the memory (64mb ram) and old voodoo graphic card. (16mb ram seem to be too less for fleetops) but anway, good luck with the updated drivers
