Once game starts video is corrupted

[azenigma]

The game intro looks fine, up to the point of starting a new game, or continue an existing. The entire screen turns into a bunch of colored lines running through the screen.

I am running a nvidia 6200/128, a AMD Sempron 3300, 1gb of ram. I have tried the latest beta nvidia drivers and the latest stable. Same result. Any ideas?

Yep, revert to Forceware 81.98. The latest drivers don't work.

From hardocp:

We had a few people report that, after having installation issues with the new 84.25 Windows XP 64-bit drivers, they were told by NVIDIA tech support to revert to the 81.98 drivers. This is a copy of the original tech support mail:

The 84.25 graphics driver are the Windows XP/2000 32-bit Beta drivers and do not support Windows XP x64 Edition operating system. The 81.98 graphics drivers are the latest drivers for Windows XP x64 Edition operating system. Therefore, we suggest that you use the 81.98 drivers for your graphics card.

We contacted NVIDIA directly and learned that the 84.25 drivers are in fact the correct drivers and that it was simply a matter of the customer care team being misinformed. So, the verdict is that the 84.25 drivers are fine. Move along. There's nothing to see here. smile

I have the same issue, I start a game it looks ok until I hit start new game, then its a bunch of tiny boxes all making white and tan blurrs. No pictures at all. Sound works perfectly. Tried 3 sets of drivers HELP!

Same thing happens to me, using the official 84.21 drivers.

P4 2.8 GHz
Geforce 6200 256 MB AGP 8x
1 GB RAM

I suppose I'll try reverting to 81.98 tomorrow and see what happens.

EDIT: I'm using 81.98 now with no problems at all.
