Game crash before scenario screen

[Neill Levine]

Hello

I am trying the CMAK demo and I crash to desktop as soon as the message scanning for scenarios comes up. I can run the CMBB demo with no problem.
I have an older system: Pent 2 400 with 2 SLI linked voodoo 2 cards.
Anyone have a similar problem?

The Voodoo 2's and Voodoo Banshees have some driver problems. I've seen this when trying to load the scenario screen in CMBB (I assume that the situation has remained the same for CMAK). In this case I was testing the Diamond Monster Fusion (Voodoo Banshee) and I can't recall any particular driver that solved the problem. Interestingly playing a PBEM or TCP/IP (as a "non-host") worked, 3D battlefield and all. The problem seemed to be centered on drawing the scenario listing screen.

If you've got a little money you may want to purchase a TNT M64 32Mb. Not the fastest card, but possibly faster in a number of games than a Voodoo 2 SLI (at least for DirectX & OpenGL games).

Thanks - seems odd though. I'll take your word for it and stick to the original title. I'm getting too old to upgrade gaming hardware - it's the only game I play now.
