Banshee wont work in D3D

  • Two Factor Authentication is now available on BeyondUnreal Forums. To configure it, visit your Profile and look for the "Two Step Verification" option on the left side. We can send codes via email (may be slower) or you can set up any TOTP Authenticator app on your phone (Authy, Google Authenticator, etc) to deliver codes. It is highly recommended that you configure this to keep your account safe.

UT413 + Voodoo Banshee (latest drivers) does not work.

Unreal loads and the screen switches to 800x600 but one second after that, the
windows desktop reappears.

With older Banshee drivers, I saw text and a lot of crap on the walls instead of the
normal textures. These wrong textures also changed depending on my point of view.

I want to run UT in D3D because Glide causes the system to hang and OpenGL is slow and dark.

Hmmm...

Your the first person I've seen that uses a Banshee.

Cool :) me 2

It runs well (perfect if I added more RAM)

You metion it goes to 800/600, are you running in in a window?
If so, check your desktop settings and make sure they match the UT settings. It UT is set up as follows: 800/600, 16bit
make sure the Windows desktop is also using the same settings. UT will crash otherwise.
BTW: use Glide

D3D will only run worse

You might have a bad driver, try updating your drivers and/or reinstall UT.

Also: what are your sys specs? If their similar to mine I could just send you my .ini config and that should tak care of some things (hopefully)

:)

I have a PII400, 128MB PC100SDRAM, 6GB HD,
Win98, c-media 3880 onboard sound

Truly impressive ! ;-)

I play 800x600 fullscreen. My desktop settings are
1600x1200 or 1280x1024, 16Bit. Of course
i know that d3d runs bad compared
to glide, but glide does not work as it should be :

After playing UT for a while (Glide), the system locks up / freezes completely.
The keyboard does not work, so only the PCs reset-button helps.
When the system is starting up again, the whole screen
(graphic and text) is completly distorted and flickering. After
turning the PC off and then on again, everything works fine...

I installed every version of UT and tried old and new drivers
for the Banshee but the problem is still there. Software/OpenGL
works (OpenGL is slow and loocks bad, Direct3D does not work at all) but as soon as i use Glide,
the system hangs...sometimes after 5, sometimes after 30 mins.

Other Direct3D Games (such as Thief - The Dark Project II) work
fine, so i think it is no heat problem...
The NFS5-Porsche demo
shows the same behaviour as UT and therefore it could have something
to do with Glide.

maybe your graphic card is overheating, did you tried open the case and touch graphic card after the hang ? if its too hot, throw some coolers inside the case and also one on graphic chip if there isnt already one.
