reinstall :O

i get those in the middle of games. my machine was cooking once and it did that.

:shrugs:

[ZeLL]

I notice it says "no video" next to the Video: title. check the card. is it hella hot, or not plugged in all the way. you still got that Rage3d crap on there cody?

(oh yeah i got your check bro thanks ;) )

[Goblink]

The problem is "Video: No Video" , it cannot find your graphics card for some reason...you could try run dxdiag and see if it gives any errors....
If not, i would suggest reinstallation...
And then maybe graphics card driver uninstall and update if the reinstall doesnt change it....
Thats all i can think of, hope it gets solved.

From the looks of your desktop your video card seems fine.
what have you changed since the last time you ran the game?

[He Is Legend]

i dunno, other than that patch

nothing

[He Is Legend]

The file ati2dvag.dll is not digitally signed, which means that it has not been tested by Microsoft's Windows Hardware Quality Labs (WHQL). You may be able to get a WHQL logo'd driver from the hardware manufacturer

Is what dxdiag said

[Fragetti]

nah..... thats not it..... did you play once you installed that patch?

[He Is Legend]

yea...I dont see what could be wrong :/

I didnt install anything but that and stupid stuff from pubs

[Fragetti]

did you try to dump your cache folder and reboot try to run the game also make sure your res settings are within your vid card capablity. install that utbinder tool and check your settings

[He Is Legend]

everything seems fine

How do i empty the cache?

[Fragetti]

go to window explore and nav to the c:/ut2004 folder there will be one named cache open it select all then delete

you might want to back it up first?

[He Is Legend]

still nothing

[Fragetti]

can you play any other games?

[He Is Legend]

yes..i played quake 3 and call of duty and counter strike

just a slight lower in fps

and quake seemed to sludge alot when moving

[Fragetti]

hmm...... what vid card and drivers are you using? you didnt buy chance change or play with any setting did you? you are running directx 9 or better. Last resort re-install ut over top your current install. backup your ut2004.ini , user.ini. not sure if it will leave your maps . if you backup that folder wyou will have to backup your tex and static mess folders as well. :(

if you dont mind me asking.... What will that do? I havent really done any tweaking of vid cards. I am using my ATI 9800 pro aiw 128 out of the box.
PM me if you think I should make some changes or direct me to the info.
thanks......

actually, i was a friends house yesterday helping them with there system and they have a 9500 pro card. the latest drivers 4.9's would install but there was a problem with the new utility that came with it. it would give an eror message and i couldnt figure if it was a sp2 problem or if it was the installtion problem of the os which i didnt install. they also had the hard dive partitioned 3 times from 1 drive all in a fat32. it was late and couldnt diagnose it enough but promised them i would do a clean install for them later this week. i went to control panel and just uninstalled the utility and the driver i left alone. it was working but they do not have the catalyst control panel working. i need to research it more before i say what the real problem is but i suggested to uninstall it to see if that was the problem. i am wondering if that utility is for the new x series of cards. again, i will have to do some research on it.

Thanks Bud :)
