Upgrade Card/Vendetta Freezes when loading Open GL drivers.

Dropped a new GeForce Ti in the G4 and I can't get past the screen where it says it's loading driver.

:(

Did you dump your config ini files? Right-click (or control click) the Vendetta app icon and select "Show Package Contents". That's where the preference files would be located. Simply dump that and new ones will be created once you restart Vendetta. If that doesn't fix your problem... report it as a bug on the "Bug Report" link at the left navigation list menu text thingy.

Thanks. I tried that and it didn't work. So I redownloaded the archive and created a new Vendetta Package. That downloaded the latest, and I signed on and got in. I figured great, corruption on my side not a big deal.

Haven't been able to repeat that so I submit a bug report.

(By the way, the game looks incredible with all the graphic options maxed out.)

While waiting on results from the bug report, I was thinking someone must run something close to my system.

SP 1 Gig G4
10.2.6
GeForce4 Ti 4600
768 Megs

Still can't get past the black screen that says "Loading Textures. . . ." Is anybody running something like my system with any luck?

I'm thinking there's something missing since Quake and RtCW play great since the upgrade. Any thoughts?

Hmm..... nVidia drivers maybe?

Thanks.

I thought the OpenGL drivers were built into the OSX updates. If that's the case, I guess I'll have to wait until Apple rereleases 10.2.8. But they've been selling this card for a while now.

But I was hoping to hear from someone who is running a Ti under OSX. Just want to know if I have a bug in Vendetta or something wacky with my card.

I'm inclined to think it's Vendetta. There are a lot of bugs in the mac build.

Wow, I have nearly the exact setup as you do, Trick (but with a dual 1GHz), and I have the same problem! I got in to the game once, but that's been it. I sent in a bug report; hope it gets fixed soon. I can't wait to play this game!

Y'know what? I think I just fixed it. Go into the config file, and set doshaders=1 to =0. I verified that with it on (=1), the game didn't load, and with it off, it did. Every time. Yay! Give it a shot, and maybe that'll work.

Cool. I'll have to try and leave early today :)
