Medal of Honor with G200?

[crocado]

Is there any possibility to run Medal of Honor on a G200 card?

I know it is an old card, but after I wracked my newer Hercules-Card I have no other alternative.
The problems are:
1.) the "click areas" in the main menu are white
2.) when I start a campain, the game crashes an the dialogue says:
WARNING: Medal of Honor requires a video card with multitexturing capability
and
3.) when there is an intro in the game, I can't see it... there is just a black screen

I hope one of you can help me out of my problem.

you scare me.

don't bother, its not worth it. i bet the drivers wouldn't work with DX8 even close to well, and like you have already found out, it probably doesn't support all the features required.

Doesn't it work on a TNT?
I think it does.

does it matter if it runs on a tnt? only if you like dia shows...

The game is OpenGL and is based on the QuakeIII engine...

eh, thats right... i can't keep my games straight anymore... didn't play it more than about 10 minutes as it ran like crap on a Radeon 8500... all i remember is that the installer wanted to install DX8... hehe...

still can't imagine that it would be playable on a G200, even if it does run...

Dude, I am sure its <i>playable</i>. You know, like you play music while you are watching a slideshow.

Seeing as it barely made it on a G400MAX OC'd a bit running with everything turned down....I doubt it....but try anyway....

I dunno how you managed to make it run like crap on a radeon 8500 I did play the game with a radeon 8500 as many other without any problem...

if i remember right several of the early 8500 driver sets had severe issues with this game...

oh yes, let me find some links for this...

I was not the only person to have problems.

try doing a search for 8500 and MOH:AA in the rage3d forums. its quite the list.

Not very relevant, but this also applies to Alice, which is quite playable on a G200 (with everything turned down).

crocado ... it won't work .. i got all the same problems you stated when i tried to run medal of honor on my G200 8 MB SD.

That was with the demo version though, i doubt the full version would be any different.

As the error message says : this game needs a 3D card which supports multitexturing, and it looks like the G200 doesn't.

Also if i remember correctly, the installer or the readme file said that the game needs a card with at least 16 MB of ram.
But the game didn't complain about the amount of video ram, it complained about multitexturing.

as a side note .. i played it on a friend pc with a voodoo3 3000 and it ran fine at 800x600 with some details down .. but i don't remember which though.

It's a very nice game indeed and it's worth upgrading your PC for.

Crocado,
You just answered the question:

"WARNING: Medal of Honor requires a video card with multitexturing capability". G200 has only one TMU so no multitexturing,

ROFL
you got your point
but what was strange I did play that game in that period without what you would call a stellar system and it worked pretty well, go figure. Maybe its because i was always using the latest beta or leaked drivers ???? Anyway it surely got fixed in later revision since all these post date jan/feb 2002

yeah, my system at the time was a 1.33ghz athlon, should have run fine. like i said, i played it for about 10 minutes, never touched it again. it could have just been the driver set i was using - i usually didn't use the latest driver sets... some of them were pretty buggy, so i just used the first set i found that worked, kept trying random sets off and on, but usually stuck with one for a while...

yeah, they did fix the problems eventually, judging from the posts i saw...
