re/re2 problem

elemdai · January 23rd, 2006, 00:46

hey, i'm new to the epsxe thing, so maybe this problem is in general, but i've only tried it on resident evil 1 and 2. i tried searching the boards and can't find anything, so if this problem has already been addressed, my bad. anyhoo... to some it up, in both games, the backgrounds and interactive objects are really blurry and when you shoot a zombie, when it dies there is supposed to be a pool of blood beneath it so you know it is dead, but there isn't in the emulator. i have onboard video, but it's fairly new, i think i have 64 mb, but my hardware profile won't let me know. any help would be great.

i tried those and the problem is still there. i'm pretty sure it's not a video card problem because my laptop is barely over a year old and it can play quite a few higher end games. for example, it plays war of the ring just as well as my 64 mb video card on my desktop. the rest of the game plays fine, nice response and character models, the in game movies play just fine, my ONLY problems are the background and interactive objects being fuzzy and the blood from dead zombies isn't showing up (which any RE fan can tell you is kind of nice so you don't go walking over a live one). maybe it's just a setting that i have wrong?

The interactiv objects being fuzzy sound like a filtering thing to me, you might want to adjust your settings ingame using the menu brought up by pressing DEL, so that you can see the changes on the fly

the filtering doesn't seem to be changing a thing. thx anyhoo though! any other ideas? like i said, the fuzziness/lack of blood seems to be the only problems. thx in advance!

edit: i tried setting it up on my desktop just to see if my laptop wasn't good enough. it had the same problem. i have a geforce 2 mx400 or 440 or whatever. i haven't nerded about my computer for a while, so i forget these things lol. plz help! i included (or tried to) a screenshot so you can see what i mean. the shield is way too obvious and the lamp is blurry, but the character model is crisp.

edit #2: i added a screen to show the general lack of a pool of blood also (just in case it helps). those zombies are beyond dead and there is no pool of blood.

Update your graphic card drivers then.

they're as updated as possible already

**hushypushy** · February 1st, 2006, 01:42

no they arent, because it says this:

Quote:

Card vendor: Microsoft Corporation
GFX card: GDI Generic

that means you are using generic windows drivers that dont have any OpenGL functions.

Sorry in advance for going slightly off topic.

I'd like to update my driver, but I don't know how I go about it. I know it's nvidia, but that's about it. Thanks!

**hushypushy** · February 3rd, 2006, 07:07

it doesnt matter, everything since the TNT2 (that includes geforce, excludes the go 7800GTX and some other videocards that im sure you dont have) uses the same driver. go to nvidia.com and go to the drivers section, it's self explanatory.

although, if you want the best performance, you should use drivers from when your card came out to optimize performance. to find out what card you have, go to the desktop, right click-->properties, then go to the Settings tab and it's right there.
