Guest Posted October 23, 2003 Report Posted October 23, 2003 I just installed some new hardware (HD, soundcard, RAM) and upgraded to the latest detonator and directx 9.now I cant change to anything higher than 1024 res... specs: AMD t-bird 1200640mb ramgeforce 2 (det 45.23)200 gb hdwin xp pro any way to fix this besides downgrading ?
Guest Posted October 23, 2003 Report Posted October 23, 2003 looks like continuum is quite incompatible with directx 9 in high resolutions. I am back to directx 8.1 and it works again
🜲 PoLiX Posted October 23, 2003 Report Posted October 23, 2003 GeForce 2 - theres your prob. My cous had the same prob. Had to undo "Hide modes this adapter cannot display" and it worked just fine.

Guest Guest Posted December 14, 2003 Report Posted December 14, 2003 I've given up on trying to get continuum working at higher resolutions, it would work one day and then not the next and a few days later it would work again. All people ever said was check your drivers heh...
Guest Guest Posted December 15, 2003 Report Posted December 15, 2003 ive experienced symptoms like that whilts messing around with detonator drivers on a amd system i have.only mine is a gforce4. crazy -*BAD WORD*- amd buggy via chipset. i think i ended up stickin with the manufacturers drivers. instead of the referance drivers and everything worked fine. solution. never get a amd. and dont tell me its got nothing to do with it. hehe i suppose thats why like almost every peice of hardware software there is has a AMD patch
Asmodeus Posted December 16, 2003 Report Posted December 16, 2003 sigh so many newbs have no clue im running SS on a AMD Athlon XP 2400+ 768 DDR Ram (333) with a Radeon 9800Pro and i can use the same res as Ekted with out problems infact i havent had a single hardware issue that was related to my processer oh and im using a Asus A7V8X-X which uses a VIA chip and it works fine for me so no knockin VIA just cuz i dont know how to maintain your computer doesint mean the parts are crap just means u dont know jack PS. i also ran 3dmark 03 and Aquamark 3 stress test with no issues sept for the first test on on my stress test with 3dmark 03 crashed on the sound test because i had 2 sound cards running at once $ after that no issues
AoS Posted April 23, 2004 Report Posted April 23, 2004 Yea that used to happen to me my brother just put in some kind of system or something(i forget the name) and it allowed me to have atleast 5 more resolutions i have mine running at like 1240x1080x8 one day then the next day i try to get on and it says theres a problem with my reso so i have to make it lower for a couple days, After a couple days of having it low it should be fixed. *note this will happen alot of times.tim12590@hotmail.com
★ Dav Posted April 23, 2004 Report Posted April 23, 2004 it depends on the system and what it can run, with DX9 your system thinks it cant run anything heigher the 1024x768. SSCC Desert Storm OwnerSSforum Admin
Bargeld Posted April 23, 2004 Report Posted April 23, 2004 It's a known issue with GF2 cards. Change vid cards (the GF2 sux anyway, and you can get a GF4 440 with 128 ram for $40 US) Sysop - SSCX Alpha West SVS
