hmm i don't recall having any problem with wz ship before, my video card is 64 meg and its part of the mother board, i have 256 meg of ram so maybe you don't have enough free space on your hd, i don't see what could cause such problem.

Age · « **Reply #2 on:** October 05, 2004, 01:44:14 pm »

This would be video problem and as for the lag there could be a program operating in the background like Norton AV. doing an automatic scan.You will want to go on to the videos cards manufacture and check for updates or downgrade it.What are WZ ships and is this another game?If so you might want to look around for a message board that supports that game and that game only.
I hope this helps.

Wicked Zombies Models Age, He does Some Great work while Pushing Polygons around.

It almost sounds like the Video Card, when you get home, Tell uswhat card you are using, and I can point you to the right Drivers. If worse comes to worse, ie. Small amount of memory on the card, It might be Upgrade time.

I tell you what, Go to http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html and Install this Free program, run It and It will list all your system stats. Just get back to me with the list, and I'll go from there Bro.

I hope so, I really do, However,It might also Have to do with the amount of Memory on your card. If you 32 MB's, it'll be slow, 64 is iffy, depends on Polygons that the Modelers use in there Models, with 128 Pretty good, Won't be fussy at all, with 256+ Grab a job with Paramount, Your on the way to Being a true Geek like me.

Thanks for the clarification Stephen aka SirGod on WZ I know he is up there with Atra,P81 and Cleeve.

Sirgod · « **Reply #9 on:** October 05, 2004, 11:19:59 pm »

He's a God amongst the Moddelrs that's for sure Age.

Don are you having Problems with Models also? I still think It's a Driver or Not enough Vid. Memory there.

Stephen

Don Karnage · « **Reply #10 on:** October 06, 2004, 07:59:20 am »

not that m aware of, its just to show what i have, nothing special and everything seem to be working, anyway m waiting to see if its working for him and what model he's having problem with!.

Sirgod · « **Reply #11 on:** October 06, 2004, 01:23:13 pm »

Oh yes, It's an easy Operation to replace the Video Card. Just let us Know if you need help or have any questions.

if i may recomend if you are budget conscious the ATI Radeon 9200 for about $99(US) at any major computer store or check pricewatch.com for the lowest price it has 128 Mb DDR ram and is a good stable card

Sirgod · « **Reply #14 on:** October 07, 2004, 09:50:21 pm »

Adam, I think you have me stumped on this one. That does sound very odd, and I don't think I've heard of this one before.

I'd side on the Cause of error, and ask about It in the D2 forum, as a matter of fact, I'll post there, and send a link over to here.

Stephen

Age · « **Reply #15 on:** October 07, 2004, 10:04:08 pm »

What patch are you useing as I don't have this problem and it would be nice to have more D3ers in here?

Sirgod · « **Reply #16 on:** October 07, 2004, 11:35:32 pm »

Yeah I made a mistake there, I posted It on the D3 forum, Because they seem to have abit more Trouble shooting Info then I have handy, It's on my secondary PC, which I haven't transfered the info to this one yet.

Yep, If your still on 531, I'd update also my friend.

Stephen

Sirgod · « **Reply #17 on:** October 07, 2004, 11:48:41 pm »

Let us know, If this Is repeatable with the new patch, If so, We need to get the info over to the Beta team. If I can ahold of the old members.

Stephen

Age · « **Reply #18 on:** October 08, 2004, 02:04:17 am »

There are still some things that need to be worked out with 534 and all the D3ers are useing 531 right now on another forum I am on right now.I am having one of them hopefully to come over here and help you out.I have 531 as well and I am not exprienceing any problems with Rom Dizzies.The stock game had some problem with Rom dizzies that why I asked what patch are you useing.

Age · « **Reply #19 on:** October 08, 2004, 04:00:02 pm »

When you patched up to 531 did you uninstall the game and delete the game folder?You have to do this in order for the game to work proberly.

Sirgod · « **Reply #20 on:** October 08, 2004, 08:29:51 pm »

Ahh, I'm not sure. Give me a day or so, and I'll see what I can do On my other PC. It is very close to what you have.

Stephen

Age · « **Reply #21 on:** October 08, 2004, 09:38:21 pm »

Did you get the direct x fix from Activision because you will need that?If you don't it can be found on the EFFHQ site in the SFC3 box on top of the board the link is below my sig.It could be in the utilities aswell with the little ship in the middle at the bottom.

What type of mod did you make up and did you patch over top instead of clean install and said no to direct x and gamespy?

Did you click and disabled your visual themes in compatiltity tab in your SFC3 Icon?These must be done in order for your game to work properly.

Age · « **Reply #22 on:** October 08, 2004, 09:55:20 pm »

You go into your SFC3 Icon and right click and in compatility tap there is a place to where you have to place tick.Then say click ok and this disables your visual themes.Your SFC3 Icon is located in C:programs/Activisin and there will be three but lok for the one that has it in it.It is used as a desk top short cut.Try this and I will be back later Enterprise is about to start and don't spoil it for me.

Age · « **Reply #23 on:** October 09, 2004, 12:57:05 am »

The SFC3 Icon looks like the delta shield I know there are three of them it is the one the luanches the game.What you want to do is right click on it and look for compatility tab or mode.When you see it there will be check box saying visual themes place a check in it and click ok this will disable your visual themes.I would click on the one that lauches the game and then exit the game then you know you have the right one.Then right click on it and disable your visual themes.I would try to upload a picture of this but I can't.This not that hard to do if I can do so can you.It should say StarFleet Command 3 on it.It looks like the one on Voyager and DS9 the communicator.

I hope this is better and helps.

You will have to look around a little when you right click on it and look for compatility tab.

Age · « **Reply #24 on:** October 09, 2004, 05:17:39 pm »

This is your SFC3 TNG Taldren Inc. .exe Icon in your Activision folder.You want to right click then click on proberties and click on the compatility tab in there you will see visual themes place a check in it and click ok.I hope this works and sorry for not mentioning the proberties to you.

Age · « **Reply #25 on:** October 10, 2004, 12:42:37 am »

You didn't select proberties at the bottom click on that and then you will see compatilitity tap at the top.No you aren't annoying me look for proberties after you right click as I stated below.

i knew it, I didnt want to get age upset but i really didnt see that compatability thing there, i was right clicking like a looney, trying to figure it out, but then i realized it just might be a xp option, i really need to update lol

adam out

dont worry about u didnt get him mad. he was worried cause he wasnt able to help. but try this and let me know how it works for u. open ur sfc.ini file in the main folder and find where it says makeitso change the 0 to a 1

Age · « **Reply #28 on:** October 10, 2004, 07:15:49 pm »

No you didn't get me upset Adam I just want you to get an extra hand.That is all it takes a lot ot get me upset.I need a good SFC3er to help you out on this and there aren't many in here that know that game.Don't worry about it.

manitoba1073 · « **Reply #29 on:** October 12, 2004, 11:16:23 pm »

i am looking into for u.

manitoba1073 · « **Reply #30 on:** October 13, 2004, 11:30:10 pm »

from what i can tell something somewhere's got fubard but it doesnt sound like u have the correct bmps for the roms. i hate to say this but u might be better off just doing a clean wipe and reinstall then update to v534b. and dont forget to change in the sfc.ini where it says Makeitso change the 0 to a 1. that is a nocd command for the game. as far as the ships problems thats due to the fact that they r a little high in poly counts. and if u get to many with high poly counts it really boggs the vid card down badly. i would recommend a vid card with atleast 128mb ddr or higher preferably. i would recommend the nvidia geforce fx 5200 card it works great and has 256mb ddr ram memory and for aboutr $125 price isnt bad at all.

Age · « **Reply #31 on:** October 13, 2004, 11:58:42 pm »

I would still and laern how to disable your visual themes as I posted below it is is in your SFC3.exe Icon that launches the game right.When the dialog box opens up at the bottum click on proberties and then check on disable visual themes in your compatility tab.You can do this on any of your desk top Icons just try a few on your desk top first to get a feel for it.I would go and read the 534b thread and read everything what Pestalence has said in there.

Sirgod · « **Reply #32 on:** October 18, 2004, 09:29:16 pm »

No Problem, I can't get It to come up on about 4 differant system's, 2 of my own, and one each from my kids.

I'm sorry, But I am at a complete Loss Adam.

manitoba1073 · « **Reply #33 on:** October 18, 2004, 11:13:10 pm »

yeah sorry to say it too adam but i havent figured it out yet either. but r u sure they r bmps and not like jpegs or something else.

Age · « **Reply #34 on:** October 19, 2004, 02:04:17 am »

What exactly is problem with your Romulan Disruptors?

Age · « **Reply #35 on:** October 19, 2004, 02:40:32 pm »

XP operates fine with those games and you will have to disable those visual themes in SFC3.

Age · « **Reply #36 on:** October 19, 2004, 05:32:30 pm »

I believe Manitoba suggested a Nvidea as it is the best for SFC3.You could always burn the stuff you want to save to disk.

Sirgod · « **Reply #37 on:** October 19, 2004, 05:46:08 pm »

You can Pick up a Cheap Nvidea card with 128 MB of memory for around $100.00 If you shop Around.

Heck I think even Walmart carries a 256 mb Nvidea asylum for abit more then That.

If you have a PC Club around where your at, Go there, and they can hook you up Pretty fast, I just happen to like that store myself, and have built a number of systems using there parts.
