No One Lives Forever 2 problem

TalkingANUS · March 8th, 2003

I just got this game- but the trouble is, I can;t play it

When i click on PLAY at the autostart menu, i get an error message saying:
"ERROR in CInterfaceMgr::Init(): Could not initialize InterfaceResMgr"

I have already contacted Sierra support (last week) regarding the problem, and still waiting for their reply..
does anybody know how to fix this?
thanx~

What troubleshooting have you done so far? Maybe I can help. This game sometimes gives my brother issues too. he uses a Geforce 4 MX 420

.. I've tried re-installing it, tried different gfx drivers..
funny, cos i tried it on my brother's computer, and there's the same error..

Tried updating your sound drivers? I know that sounds bizarre but it needed very recent sound card drivers to run for me..

TalkingANUS · March 8th, 2003

... i'm pretty sure i got the latest drivers, but really, i dont see how that will have such an effect

I'm serious tho. The game crashed to desktop till we updated our Sound Blaster drivers...

TalkingANUS · March 8th, 2003

really?... i THINK i have the latest.. the Windows Me version is pretty old tho.. The most recent one dates back to 10/11/2000.. geez, when are they updating them??
do u think that this may be the cause for the problem?

There must be some forums for the game, check them out. I never had problems with the game but I always keep-up-to-date

Make sure your card supports HARDWARE T&L, and not software t&l. That may be the problem, if it is, I have a tweak to get around it, just let me know. If not, got to the game's community page, they got great help there. I ran the game on a Voodoo5, and they said it wasn't possible, *evil laugh*

March 8th, 2003

he's got a gf4'mx; ought to work.
interesting though that you got it to work on a voodoo5.

Dark Zero · March 8th, 2003

Voodoo5 has software t&l so in theory if tweaked around you can get it to work, just disable HD T&l. Anyway, during the whole game I couldn't use the flashlight as it would crash to desktop, dunno if it was just a game glitch of had something to do with t&l.

TalkingANUS · March 8th, 2003

Geforce 4 MX DOES support hardware T&L doesn't it?

I guess I'll check out some official forums.

Geforce 4 MX's do support Hardware T&l, Its redimentary to them.

ready2rumbelX · March 9th, 2003

Either you have a crappy copy of NOLF2, or a crappy installation of Windows.....

I have a copy, and it works fine on my rig, and i've tested it on Win XP and Win 98....but, i'm sure it should work in ME as well...

Thanx for your responses, i finally got it to work.. I went and downloaded the latest patch and it seemed to do the trick~ dunno why i didnt think of it b4..
but funny thing is, that it only works when i use the same resolution as my desktop?? thats kinda weird
