Abit KT7A + ATI Rage Fury Pro 128, Combat Flight Simulator 2, quale AGP?

[costipato]

Come impostare questa maledetta scheda video?

Sto impazzendo, lo giuro, non riesco a capire come settare il dannato AGP, e' sicuramente la causa di tutti i miei problemi! Dopo l'esecuzione del filmato di introduzione di CFS2, l'immagine si "sparpaglia" (scrambling) in rettangolini frastagliati. Un problema simile lo ottengo con il pannello di controllo di Jane's USAF. Nessun
problema riscontrato su B-17 della Microprose.

per vedere lo schifo date un occhiata qua:

Esiste un tweak per l'accoppiata KT133A-AGP abbastanza affidabile?

Ho provato di tutto:

1) Driver aggiornati (VIA 4.29 final, Rage3D 6.40, DirectX 8.0a);
2) Driver aggiornati alla versione precedente;
3) Impostazione AGP Normal sulla Abit;
4) Ho sostituito la scheda con una S3 AGP a 8Mb, va lentissima ma funziona (tranne qualche poligono che ogni tanto va a farsi benedire), a dimostrazione che
5) Flash BIOS Abit alla versione WZ (official release);
6) Ho letto TUTTO IL SITO http://go.to/kt7faq

La piccola utility a corredo del cd di CFS2 (machine.exe)
riporta quanto segue in un file machine.txt (sbagliando
pure il nome del gioco!):

La configurazione hardware della mia macchina e' la seguente :

Windows ME

Sidewinder Force Feedback Pro 2 USB

Athlon TBird 800Mhz
256M 133-6ns
Abit KT7A
ATI Rage Fury Pro 128
Sonorus STUDI/O AudioCard (PCI Slot 2)

Se avete voglia di divertirvi rispondete...

Grazie

P.S. Non ci sono problemi hardware, l'unica scheda porcina e' la Live!, ovviamente...ma con driver aggiornati.

[Stef@no77]

Prova ad andare sul sito dell'ati e leggiti le faq a riguardo della tua scheda video... troverai anche una patch per che forse ti risolve il problema....

[costipato]

Grazie per la risposta, e' un problema legato ad ME, ovviamente. Ho installato gli stessi driver su 98SE e tutto va che e' una meraviglia, ho gia' abbattuto una quindicina di americani con il mio Zero...

Banzai!

Thrasher

P.S. Il supporto tecnico della Microsoft non mi ha nemmeno
cxxxxo...

[agimar]

Ho avuto un problema analogo con la mia scheda ATI Fury Maxx.
L'ho risolto disinstallando alla radice i driver per WinME e rimettendo i vecchi drive del 98.
