On another note, GTA3 : Vice City has been confirmed for PC. It should come out some time during Fall 2003.:dead:

Tryed the demo yet Arris ? I could download it at work but I'm running on a P200mmx. I don't think I have the minimum specs to open the read-me.

Dunno how my GF2Go 32mb is gonna like it on my laptop. Its just finished downloading now.

Good news is that I managed to meet the spec for opening the readme

Bad news

General protection fault!
History: UWindowsViewport::ResizeViewport <- UD3DRenderDevice::SetRes <- UWindowsViewport::TryRenderDevice <- UWindowsViewport::OpenWindow <- UGameEngine::Init <- InitEngine

Guess I'll give it a try when I get back to Scotland tomorrow and I can run it on my home PC.

Well going from Dell Geforce2Go 29.63 drivers to 29.64 didn't help

Sweet, that doesn't look to bad, I will have to give that demo a try.
I just hope my getting old system can handle it.

 

[Arris]

Reinstalled it and it ran (well kinda crawled as if it had just had its legs blown off by an anti personnel mine). Looks nice even at 640x480 min details... Guess people will not have a chance running this on GF2MX

Hi Arris!

I got that error message too- did you just re-install, not change drivers or anything?

I just uninstalled the demo and reinstalled it. No other change.
I did notice that if you run the game, quit to menu, run the game, quit to menu it gets slower and slower (poor memory management?), well on my laptop anyway

That link didnt work for me?

 

[Arris]

The file in the link seems to have been removed.

Try this one in the UK for a fast download:
http://gamefiles.blueyonder.co.uk/blueyondergames/demos/splintercelldemo.exe

Or just look for splintercelldemo.exe with www.filemirrors.com
Your bound to find a suitable place to download from.

Downloaded, but cant play?

Hi again. I downloaded this Demo last night, and i havent been able to play it yet, due to some annoying errors that I keep getting just after the initial splash-screen. Sometimes I get:

error no.1:

sometimes...

error no.2:

both result in an error in the kernal:

Ive tried different screen resolutions, ensured that im in Truecolor (32bit), also installed latest DirectX 8.1b driver, but no success, same error?

Any suggestions

just in case images dont show heres where they are uploaded to:

[nebulus]

Heheehee, only just noticed looking back over this post that you all seem to have had similair errors. Tried un-install then re-install as suggested but to no avail. Same error:dead:

 

[DogStar]

Try editing the SplinterCellUser.ini & SplinterCellSettings.ini ,which are in the SYSTEM folder.
At the "Resolution=640x480" line, change it to 800x600. (think I put mine at 1024x768 but cant remember as it was a few weeks ago now)
Had same trouble with demo and found fix on net.

 

[nebulus]

Unfortunately that didnt work for me DogStar? Thanks for the help anyway.
