Direct X

[AOmalley]

All of my Direct X games have problems tunning. Max Payne crashes randomly to the desktop every 15 minutes, balck and white hangs every 20 mintes, I have had a few crashes when running myst 3 (all though infrequent and not really problem, but they are there), and I downloaded the "BAllistics" demo and that couldn't even run a minute without the video freezing (but the audio would continue going) What is the problem here? I have an asus geforce 2 gts V770, 21.83 drivers for win9x, and Direct X 8.1 installed. all of the games I fun in opengl Counter-Strike, Quake 3, wolfenstein MP test, work fine. This is bizziare and troubiling

Hi AOmalley,

It may just be the Direct 3D games you're playing at the moment. Max Payne and Black and White are known to have bugs that cause crashes on certain systems. I would try using the latest patches for both games. If that fails, try a clean install of your video drivers and then reinstall DX.

HTH

I had a prob once like this, firstly try running the DXDiag program (C:\program files\direct x\setup\dx diag) or something like that

Try running the DirectDraw etc test inside the prog

Then update your Video Card drivers THEN update Direct X


Thanks,

By chance anyone running the DirectX beta for gamers?
