Grey screen is a royal pain in the arse...heeeelp

Gerbilbert · 01-05-2002, 02:58 AM

ok..i tried renameing the file...it didnt work...I installed DX 8.1 and that didnt work. I installed the newest drivers for my video card (Nvidia Gforce 2 GTS) and that did nothing. Now what I wanna know, before I erase my video card and try re-installing it, is how do I re-install the open GL drivers, or where do I get new ones. Lord knows Nvidia doesnt have em up. I really wanna play this game and im not hapy with the product thus far. can someone please help me

Did the Multiplayer demo work?

If i did, copy all the .pak3 files from the Single Player demo folder to the Multiplayer demo folder. (yes, to overwrite)

Run the MP demo and BAMN!! demo will work

Try some lower number video card driver versions.

If you had read back a few pages you would see that there is a fix that works. Try renaming your ffx86.dll to ffx86.bak, which is in your mohaamain directory. This worked for me. Good luck.

could be a virus, could be some driver problems, get Win XP or install win 98 again. formate or something. or cheak your 3d card..

I have same problem but only with SP demo, Multi works great. I have all latest drivers and a pretty damn good machine, but I get grey screen on SP demo, not on mulitplayer. Wierd, eh?

Win XP, P4 1.7, G3Ti500, cable, 256k ram, wtf?
