Author Topic:   The Movies don't work!

Okay, I have tried everything I could, but I can't seem to get the movies to work. I have green lines all over the video, it looks like the interlace is messed up somehow. The game seems to run fine otherwise. PLEASE HELP!!!

Try every thing in the readme.txt and tell me what happens.

I am also experiencing the same problem with the movies, green and black lines with occasional color appearing between the green line. I have performed everything in the Readme.txt and have the movie running from the Hard Drive instead of the CD-ROM.
I have a ATI All-in-Wonder card which uses the ATI RAGE II Chipset. Monitor is running at 1024x728 although I have set the game to run at 800x600. The computer is an AMD K6-233 with 64 meg running Windows 98.
Does the patch that is about to be released address this issue?

Special Troubleshooting note:
The movies will play fine outside of the game. I went to the movies directory and use the PLAYUV15 program to view the movies. No problem viewing them this way.
It would be nice to see them in the game though.

Like Burkidity above, I have tried everything in the readme.txt, using the same chipset, and all I can get are those stupid green lines. P2/333, 64 megs, Win 98.
Help?

Fixed the problem with the movies. I had updated the drivers for my ATI All-in-Wonder Rage II board by downloading them at http://www.atitech.com. For those that are interested, the file to download is W82420en.exe

Thank you very much! Haven't had a chance to try it yet, the game computer is occupied *grumble* But since you had the same setup and problems, I'll trust your solution. Thanks again.
