Knight Rider game (pc) bugs

Post by simmy » Tue Sep 09, 2003 5:35 pm

I recently got the Knight Rider game for the PC. I am running it on an XP machine. when it goes to load the actual missions, it returns to the desktop. it does the fmv just before the mission ok, but when it actually goes to load the mission, it quits. any clues on how to fix this?

well you can take a peek on windows update, there was a patch or update sometime ago for it.

One more thing, have you tryed uninstalling the game and then installing again?

Is it XP home or Pro?

You checked the disk for scratches and chips?

Well, im stumped. I know of a few people from here had the sort of same problem. As your onboard you should be ok, still got all the hand books etc? If so, look up you GFX card my friend.

no handbooks anymore. sry. and I have even tried running it in all XP compatibility modes possible. possibly any command lines I can run the game in to see if they work?

well you can start it via DOS, but it wont make much difference from running it like you would via the icon. Have you had a play around with the settings in the options screen? Try running on the slowest settings and see if it works for you.

DX9 Acually made the game run better for mE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I dont know how but after I installed DX9.b I was now able to completly run the game on SupER , with 1024x768 32-bit resolution

and it works perfectly !!!!!!!!!!!! it use to go realy slow before with DX8 on those settings . but now I maxed it out . I should release screenshots !!!!

and Im doing this on a Geforce4mx-se 4agp by the way!!!!!!!!


Maybe it is your drivers? or video card too old . im getting a
GeforceFX 5600 Ultra "older version" for only $126 from http://www.gameve.com
i used price watch
