Medal Of Honor Airborne = video card not support
driver version : 14.34.3 Why!!!!!!!!!!!!???????????

 

[galakfryar]

Hi all, to fix the medal of honor airborne problem where video card not supported. Just add a dxlevel 81 not -dxlevel 81 to the shortcut and it will work. After the first time running the game when you quit the game you can remove that parameter. The reason for that is because the first time the game runs it will check ur video card. But after the game has already run it wont check ur video card anymore so you can remove that command line. Hope that helps.

hey guys, i hav been following this thread from day one and its great !!! plz check the following games: alone in the dark mass effect assassins creed if possible, do post some screenshots

 

[sameer.pur]

Assasins Creed doesn't work after starting video.
It stops dead after it.
Will try to check Mass Effect and Alone in the Dark...

 

[yesh1683]

Ok just now tested ASSASSINS CREED Finally got running at 640 @ low the game runs at very low FPS wen crowds are more at other time runs at 8 to 10 FPS some times wen he is single FPS jumps to 20

The reason why the game hangs after intro movie is because the game automatically sets the graphics quality to very high and also the resolution to maximum so after intro movie the menu which is rendered cant render such high settings so the game was hanging to overcome this problem i have uploaded my profile which is set at 640 @ low

But i havent tested this way so some one download my save game and post if it helped u
Here is the Save game

[dr.vikasburva]

what abt strangelhold
very slow fps with corrupted graphic

 

[sameer.pur]

@yesh

I will try with your saved file..

But first have to clear some HDD space..

Man, what is profit of having a 250 GB HDD if it's full only by a few games..

Edit->

Was the game lagging??
Screenshots seems fine..

For games the latest XP drivers seems to be very good and compatible with many games
I personally never got BSOD or restarts after playing for an hour

Vista drivers are also good and games perform faster in VISTA just a bit,,
but bioshock, assassins creed, games wont work with vista drivers

If u get BSOD or hangups or restarts while playing in XP play those games on VISTA
it wont crash like XP

Regarding a good multiplayer game for LAN an good single player game with multiplayer is also good at lan

If u like racing then there are lot to choose from.

what abt strangelhold
very slow fps with corrupted graphic

I only have demo the demo seems to be very limited
we cannot set any graphics option nor we can set screen resolution
wen i run game it takes 1024 resolution and all graphics settings are set to high
so the game lags heavily

an full version game would play i think
as it will b having options to change resolution and settings

Ya todays games come with huge space 2 DVDs and installing takes huge disk space on HDD

The game lags a bit wen there are lot of crowds
Some times especially while in training the game runs smooth at around 20 FPS

 

[dr.vikasburva]

with new drivers you can run need for speed pro street with smoke on
terrorist takedown 2 run smooth on high with shadow off

 

[galakfryar]

Assassin's creed with new drivers crashes when its time to train in the dueling arena. When u press F to go into combat mode it gives a BSOD.

 

[galakfryar]

Scratch that, Assassin's creed doesnt crash anymore. It was a random crash for that part. So far the game has performed well on the x3100.
