Soul Reaver 2 help

Kazuya Mishima · July 4th, 2004

I installed soul reaver 2 (pc) today and there is a huge problem. There are no textures. The eidos screen its a black screen and all you can see in the menu screen and in game is one plain color, sometimes green and sometimes purple but nothing more. The sound its ok. You can even start the game and the videos run as always but there are no textures over the polys. Its like the problem silent hill 2 had with the geforcefx series in the option screen: you could only see a plain color without the options. I hope somebody can help me. Im trying to make it run in a geforcefx 5200 and before you bash that card, the game runs pretty well in my geforce4400 and in a gefroce2mx. So, its a driver problem or a card problem like the one in silent hill? If its the second i have not found any fix until now and if there is the first one, i cant install the 33.28 drivers (the one im pretty sure it runs well with the other card because the nv4.inf wont detect a geforcefx.

Any solution?

Seems to me it's a problem with drivers I think, coz I had a friend that plays the game on his fx 5200, and no complaints. Try to get the new drivers and see, if no hope then it maybe a hardware error.

I finally found what was the problem. You have to open the windows registry and change a value from 0 to 1 in the disablevshader tab. The site said the problem happens when you are using a radeon 9200, a geforce 4/fx. Strange since it works ok in my geforce 4400.
