after installing license, game gets to load up screen and CRASHES - Page 2

It's in the data folder. Sorry, but I'm at work and don't have the game in front of me so can't tell you specifically where to find it. I want to say it's in your Documents and Settings folder in the Sports Interactive directory.

I had GeForce4 420 MX and it worked. I did have to update my drivers though.

I had the same issue... updating the drivers fixed it!

well, I am trying to find the drivers. Which ones did you use?

In the meantime, I disabled facegen and the game loads up - so drivers are the issue.

Markus Heinsohn · 03-22-2007, 10:15 AM

I just downloaded the latest from nvidia.com... don't remember which ones exactly.

Here's the FAQ for disabling FaceGen:

http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/boar...d.php?t=142333

This should let you enjoy the game until you get the driver situation resolved.

Let us know how it goes!

I'm going to merge this with another thread here:

SMFXR01 · 03-22-2007, 11:27 AM

Just gone to try to disable facegen...

(a) Have no facegen folder to rename

(b) Can't open OOTP

(c) Still says to open OOTPB and go to the game preferences screen

Erk. That's what I get for rushing. Will post an alternative approach to C in a second... Sorry!

Thought I had cracked it.....
Found version 6.14.0010.3780 on the SiS website.
Installed it....
Restarted PC.....
.....
Got a strange blue screen telling me that one of the SiS files
had gone into an infinite loop.
So had to go into safe mode and install older version again.
I may never get to see FaceGen.......

Managed to find 6.14.0010.3770 on the web.
Loads onto PC OK....
And now the game loads with FaceGen.....

Any chance you can link to this?? I'm having a hard time searching it out

Thanks

SMFXR01 · 03-22-2007, 09:34 PM

(Sorry I took so long, had to reset password

)

The link to the particular driver that worked for me is

http://www.opendrivers.com/driver/23...-download.html

there is a link to the file about half way down the page
(with the hard drive symbol and a red arrow pointing downwards)
you may have to allow pop-ups temp like.

Can I just thank Steve and the others who responded so quickly on this
thread.
(I sort of enjoyed being involved on the biggest tech support thread of the first day

)
(And glad to see that Steve seemed to enjoy the beer when he visited Oxford......from his website

)
