Try updating your drivers.

 

[old.chenko]

already done that

still no work, i can now get into the menus of the game, but when i start a game it crashes with another error....

FS_FOpenFileRead: NULL 'file' parameter passed

re-install in a new dir without patching and see if it works. then patch it: edit bit, running win 98 4.10 well it works

wtf is going on? loads of people are getting this error now.

you all using dodgy directx 8.1 beta's which have all quietly expired or something?

 

[old.chenko]

well i downloaded the lastest directX last night and it didnt work still

venturer01: I first tried the game after a fresh reinstall and it didnt work then


I emailed IDsoftware... and they sent me a email back saying download the latest drivers from nvidia.com ... stupid really when i said in the email that i downloaded them!!

and they said if i need further assistance... call... YEA RIGHT... not at the prices they will charge!!

I did have that very problem with Detonater drivers 12.41 or 12.61 I can't remember which. Changed back to another version and all worked fine. Might be worth a try.

 

[old.chenko]

21.81 are the newest ones which i have... do you know where i can get the older versions?

 

[old.Gibzz]

Personally I've had no problems with those drivers....msot older ones can be found here tho, still worth a try.
