Hi guys,

I just tried the DXTweaker as described above in the first post, however I have some issues. I have a GeForce 6600 and running XP.

When I run as described with DXTweaker the Jane's video and all the videos in the campaigns are upside down and very blocky:



Furthermore, the TSH video which comes on after the Jane's one on startup is upside down but NOT blocky:



Everything else in the game *seems* to run fine... However, when I exit the game I get these errors:



Initially I thought this could have something to do with running F18 under Win98-ME compatibility (I run under this compatibility otherwise I cannot hear all sound in the game), but when I tried running f18 undeer Win2000 compatibility mode with DXTweaker all the videos were the right way up BUT looked like this:



And the same error messages appeared after exiting the game.

Could this have anything to do with resolution issues? My desktop resolution is 1280x1024, TSH manager setting is set to "Same as desktop", and my in game resolution setting, under graphics/drivers is 1024x768.

Any other advice or comments appreciated...



Martin.

The first two video issues are known issues, but I'm not familiar with the second two.

This is unfortunately what happens when we're left with beta software to use as a final solution.

Which workaround for the AA slowdown do you use Joe? Do you use DXTweaker?

How slow is the slowdown anyway? When I go to AA mode FPS drops but not below 20. Is this slow compared to others'?

Also what are 30.xx or 40.xx series detonators? Are these drivers?

None right now - too much hassle.

Depends on your hardware. On my old 9800 it was about 5 FPS. With a 6800GT it was about 15, and with my 7900GT I think it's about 17 or 18, although I can't really remember.

Yes, detonators are the name for nVidia drivers. Those versions are quite old at this point and don't support any modern cards.

Thanks Joe,

I think I'll just leave as is for the moment, and monitor FPS in AA [concentrating on AG at the moment...]. 20 FPS doesn't *seem* that bad at the moment.

Martin.

Can someone please post the DirectXtweaker 2005.2 Beta 1K. It's been two days now since I registered that I haven't received the validation code from the site. Thanks

Isn't Beta "J" the latest version for Jane's F/A-18. IIRC, Beta "K" was for another program.

I will put Beta J and K on the TSH website this evening.

DX Tweaker Betas I, J, and K are all now available in the "Tools" section of the TSH downloads.
