Incoming on G400

[rogman]

I have purchased every matrox card since the Mystique 220 and am very frustrated that I can't play the bundled version of Incoming that came with my G200 on my G400.

Does anyone know a way to do this?

After spending over $400 on Matrox video cards I think I am entitled.

Strange game to be causing problems. Did you check the manufacturer's website for a patch?

Yes, Rage has no patches or updates for Incoming. I can install the game, but when I try to launch it, I get "unable to detect G200"

I had a problem with Incoming some time back and I called Rage's tech support desk. I was told that OEM versions of Incoming were optimised for the card they were sold with and wouldn't run on another.

However the version I had did run on my G400Max (and very well too ) even though I borrowed it from my brother who got it with his ATi card.

I don't think this is a Matrox issue try emailing Rage tech support.

It seems you didn't read my post on this issue. The problem is fixed in the latest beta driver(5.50.10). I also had the problem, the new driver fixed it, and it works beautifully.

I am using 5.50.10 and still get the error message. I am going to 'try' Rage tech support.

Just received a response from Rage Support.
They are not able to offer any assistance due to restrictions from Matrox, because the game was bundled with my G200.

If anyone knows how to get around this, I would greatly appreciate it.

Tell them you have a retail copy of the game.
