Guest Farflame Posted March 11, 2007 Report Posted March 11, 2007 Feck me! I just download the latest version. I've got a new GF...8800 geforce bollox......... and when I run SS it's all screwed up. Blah blah, what's the solution?
Hakaku Posted March 11, 2007 Report Posted March 11, 2007 You're not very helpful as you don't provide much information. 1. What version of windows are you running? 98/98SE/2000/ME/XP/Vista/etc.?2. How is SubSpace screwed up? Does it load at all? Do you get an error message?3. Is the main screen messed up? Or is it just in-game?4. If in-game, have you tried playing around with Continuum's Advanced Options?5. Are you using a color depth (in options -> graphics) of 8bit, 16bit, or 32bit? 6. What resolution have you set it to?7. Are you running any other programs while playing Continuum? 8. When installing Continuum 0.39pr1, did you install it in the same folder as Continuum 0.38 (which you should)? There's also stickied facts in this forum you could read, but more info would be appreciated if you want someone to help you.
Synook Posted March 11, 2007 Report Posted March 11, 2007 Is it that the colours in-game all look funny? If so, try running it windowed or closing all other programs when playing.
Guest Guest Posted March 11, 2007 Report Posted March 11, 2007 I've just built an Nvidia SLI system and I think I am having the same issue. When trying to download the Alpha map, it looked like the graphics would stick on the screen (everything would leave trails) and when I got into the game, I couldn't quit. I ended up doing a hard reset on my machine and uninstalling Continuum. I play this game often and would love to see if there is anything that can be done to resolve the issue. Major components:Motherboard - Nvidia EVGA nForce 680iProcessor - Intel Conroe Core 2 Duo E6600 2.4GHzGraphics - 2x Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTSRAM - 2x 1GB DDR2Sound - Creative SoundBlaster Audigy 4 Prior to this computer, I was using an HP Pavilion with an ATI X1600 Pro graphics card with no problems. This is the very first computer I've seen not able to run Subspace.
PoLiX Posted March 11, 2007 Report Posted March 11, 2007 1st thing I'd like you to check/try... View > Advanced OptionsMake sure: Avoid Page Flipping, No Framerate Limit, and Disable Clipping are checked.
Samapico Posted March 11, 2007 Report Posted March 11, 2007 I've heard alot of people with GeForce 8800 having problems... see http://forums.sscentral.com/index.php?showtopic=12955 and http://forums.sscentral.com/index.php?showtopic=12991 3 other people in these threads... no solutions still though, if you ever get it to work, please tell us, cause it seems to be a common problem with that card

Guest ZombieBobie Posted March 17, 2007 Report Posted March 17, 2007 I also got this issue. Running with software emulation works - but is hardly a good option. So far I've tried the following with no result: Setting "Max frames to render ahead to 0"Flipping all the options in Nvidia's Control panel.Forceware 100.95 for winxp (for 8600 evga cards) with "hacked" .inf file from Guru3d to add 8800 support.Flipping all the Continuum video options. Nada works. Does continuum use Directdraw? Think to remember SubSpace did.
Guest ZombieBobie Posted March 17, 2007 Report Posted March 17, 2007 Oh - and I also tried lowering Hardware Acceleration step by step from Full and downwards.
Guest ZombieBobie Posted March 17, 2007 Report Posted March 17, 2007 andddddd....I've tried running it in Compatibility mode for win2000 etc. No joy.
Guest ZombieBobie Posted March 17, 2007 Report Posted March 17, 2007 That's on the 32 bit version of Windows XP. Game ran fine with my 7800GT. Running latest Directx, tested with both 97.92 & 100.95 nvidia drivers. Running at 1920x1200@60hz. Tested at both 8 bit, and 32 bit colors. No difference. Graphics look like this with software emulation turned off: Windowed:http://img502.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot2hp4.png Full-screen:Computer hardlocks for me. Others report this to be the graphics:http://img179.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot1mk9.png
Guest Uhgii Posted March 23, 2007 Report Posted March 23, 2007 Same problem here... same video card. Running in windowed mode is a big improvement, but the chat/menu is a garbled mess. Hope there's a solution soon... I miss this game.

Its under advanced options > software emulation check the box, i think. Regards, Warl
