Matrix Games Lock Up

[MartNick]

Hi, I recently put a new GeForce 6600GT card in my PC. Now my BiI does not work properly. I can start any scenario, but they lock up after a few minutes. I tried a reinstall, same problem. Any ideas why this is happening, all my other software seems to work OK?

ta ver much

Does this happen with any other Matrix Games? - ref: the title of your post.

[MartNick]

Yep both BiN and BiI lock up in the same way

Make sure you run latest drivers for the 6600GT.

I have the absolute latest drivers released at the beginning of September. Had the same problem with both version 77 and 78 drivers. I've tried different refresh modes, levels of colour as well. If you need a DirectX Diag file please tell me how to attach the file to a post pleased.

Thanks

I too have a 6600GT and both games work fine.

The game stalls whenever an animation runs, like a unit moving in a sea lane, or a sea unit bombards a fortified position. It hangs then catches up with itself, does this two or three times then the whole system hangs.

Instructions on generating a DirectX Diag file are pinned at the top of this forum.

Just to confirm a few things:

1. Did _anything_ else change in your system other than video card + drivers?
2. Have you tried _older_ drivers that worked previously? Did they, in combination with the new video card, still cause the same issues?

Regards,
