UT v413 & Matrox G400 32 MB (non-MAX) = crash!
Ever since I upgraded Unreal Tournament v405b to v413, the game refused to run properly with my Matrox G400 32 MB (non-MAX) card. Here are the symptoms:
* UT doesn't start at all and kicks me to
desktop if I try to use Direct3D. The
autoedetection part, when selecting a video
card, doesn't even show OpenGL.
* UT randomly crashes with an Illegal
Protection Fault in USER.EXE when playing
without TurboGL in the game.
* Game crashes after precaching in a game
level (loading the player models?) back to
desktop with TurboGL.
UT runs perfectly with a Voodoo2 12 MB card. Argh!
My system configuration:
Award Modular BIOS (v4.51PG; Updated: 10/26/1999), Intel Pentium II 300 Mhz (DFI P2XBL motherboard revision A -- 440BX 100 Mhz bus tower, 128 MB of SDRAM (PC100), ATX Full Tower Case, 300W power supply, 2 ISA, 3 PCI, 1 AGP, 1 Shared PCI/ISA Slot, 2 USB ports, 512K L2 cache, IBM P72 17" monitor (6556), Matrox Millenium G400 32 MB DualHead, Creative Labs 3D Blaster (PCI, Voodoo 2, 3Dfx, 12 MB, using 3Dfx's lastest reference
