Rising Tide - Illegible Instructions

I would love to send in a DXDiag only if I knew how!

Click on your Windows START button, click on RUN, type in DXDIAG and hit the ENTER key.

This will run DirectX's diagnostics. You can save the report by clicking the SAVE ALL INFORMATION button on the bottom of the DXDiag window.

Hi Brant,

Could u please tell me how to turn ON/OFF anti aliasing on the S3..I have one and cant figure out how to do it....I know u said it didnt work but i`m willing to give it a try

cheers

Scotty

also, can u see underwater? I cant

Turning it on or off on an S3 won't make any difference. S3 cards are too old to be fully compatible with the blending and texture features of DirectX8 we are using in Enigma.

Best bet is to turn the S3 out to pasture and get a newer card.

ATI Radeon 8500 128mb: < $90

ATI Radeon 7500 64mb: < $60

Both of these cards are in use in our studio and used to develop the game on.

NVidia:

GeForce 2 Pro: $100

GeForce 4 MX 440 64mb: <$60

All of your gaming experiences will get better with a simple upgrade.

Well for those of us who bought this game that have the s3 video card.. can i get a refund...?because i dont think i can change /upgrade the video card on my computer.. (emachine)

That's why we print the minimum specs on the bottom of the box. You can upgrade an emachine, but it depends on the model exactly how far you can upgrade. Your retailer makes the rules on returns.

I would contact ATI directly and ask for their help in selecting a card for your machine.

minimum specs on bottom of box says direct x 8.1 compatible 32 mb vidoe card... which i have,,,,

Ummm, an S3 video card is not DirectX 7 compatible - no hardware transform and lighting. Means it wont work properly with Enigma.

i have the athlon 2200 + with prosavage8ddr and i have been running direct x 8.1 for a while...

Yup, but your card is out of date and cannot support games that utilize DirectX 7 and up specific features. Enigma utilizes native texture compression and advanced blending and texture rendering. Your card doesn't handle it. It's time to upgrade your video card or get an XBox.
