Joint Ops Question

The joint ops demo only works if the graphics card contaians HW and T&L.
Will this be the same in the real version of the game? Does the graphics card have to have HW T&L for the game to work?

Give this a try:
Go into the game folder and you will see file named 'game' open this with notepad.
when open you will see a list look down it until you see these one. It should be on the 10th line down.

hw3d_name =""

Now if you had the beta demo(the first release installed) you can copy and paste the info needed in these from the same 'game' file. (just the one line).
In the hw3d_name line you should have a descrpition of the G-Card.
i.e.
hw3d_name ="Intel(R) 82845G Graphics Contro"
This will differ all depends what make the Card it is.
Once all is done save & close notepad and start the game, should run now.

Cry

A tin of death, was that your graphics card u put in the post because i have the same one, does yours work fine? also i tried what u suggested typing my graphics card name in the place u told me. The same thing still happens, when i try to start the game it gives me a screen to choose my graphics card and when i do, it won't let me get past that screen it says " your graphic card does not support HW T&L" WTF?


i just got a new compaq presario this year it is pentium 4, 2.5 GHz, 120 gb, and
Intel(R) 82845G/GL/GE/PE/GV graphics chip.

Does anyone know if this will work or if i can download HW T&L???

uh
that intel 82845.. thing is an onboard graphics chip...
a quick search showed that it does not have hw t&l. (that's one of the reasons why i don't consider things like that a graphics card...)

HW T&L means "Hardware Transform&Lighting", so no, you cannot download it. it has to be on the graphics card.

don't take it too hard, at least now you have a reason to get a proper gfx card

Sorta...kinda...not really....

On one of my PCs, the newer one (FTLOG), the initial demo, not the new one, runs but the graphics are hosed for most of the good stuff (i.e., vehicles)...backgrounds look fine. I get that this is the card, but do I need a new one or just an update to what I have?

Help

Like Nev said HW T&L means "Hardware Transform&Lighting", so no, you cannot download it. it has to be on the graphics card.

It is a chip not a driver that you can load...If you don't have it you need another gfx card

Okay, okay...I'll buy a new card. Wadda I want? Steve, I can see what you've got, though I'm just a humble noob...not sure I need all THAT power. Any other suggestions for base requirements....Yeah, yeah, I'm pretty sure that the readme file had something in there.....just not sure I can translate

Thanks all,

Dr. Doom

i'd suggest a radeon 9800pro or XT
not the best card anymore, but it's not that expensive nowadays and still packs quite a punch
