Unhappy flipped screen

any solution?
is there an alternative version of re-volt on net which has the patch already applied and the game functioning properly?

anna

Since you didn't apparently bother looking up the relevant posts by yourself:

* Did you try running the game in Windows 98 compatibility mode? This seems to fix some of the issues.

* What is your graphics card? When did you last update the drivers? Prior reports indicate the problem occurs only on some graphic cards and on particular versions of drivers.
Recommended way of approaching that is first installing the latest drivers, and if the problem occurs with them - uninstalling them and installing the oldest version you can find, then update it wth successive newer ones until you find one where the game works normally.

Altough that's a solution, it's not what I meant. Compatibility Mode is a neat feature in Windows XP and Vista, that helps you in solving problems with running vast majority of old Windows games.

Right-click the executable (or the shortcut to it, will work just the same), select "Properties" from the menu, then go to the Compatibility tab in the window that opens. Click in the first checkbox ("Run this program in compatibility mode for:") and choose Windows 98 from the drop-down menu.

Why go for an imitation, when you have the real thing?

i tried the win 98 compatibility mode on my vista.

i didn't work.

at first, the game displays the trademark and the accalim ent. logos clearly.

then the game loads with a blank space over the loading bar and stops after loading.:worried:

then we get the message " can't flip display buffers":notrust:

is this message due to my vista?

talk to you soon

"C:\Revolt\revolt.exe -sli" .... ?
From:

The problem is probably your vidcard drivers, on my Vista it runs flawless(older GForce 128Mb).

[Edit]
Same solution here:

in any case, if anything failed try adding these settings to registries (but only if anything else fails and you're hopeless, i don't think it'd help anyways, all saves will get probably replaced)
