I just put in the new version of maximum football and when I play a game the screen is mostly white.



Marauders -> RE: White screen (11/4/2008 6:27:39 PM)

It could be that your textures are not mapping.

Which graphics card are you using?

Have you tried it with shadows off or a lower resolution?



eb36045 -> RE: White screen (11/4/2008 9:48:38 PM)

Yes,but I don't know what card I'm using.
What should I do?



mbsports -> RE: White screen (11/5/2008 11:57:42 PM)

eb - go to your windows run box and type dxdiag and under the display tab it will give you the card/name/chipset all that happy stuff!



eb36045 -> RE: White screen (11/6/2008 6:14:06 PM)

My computer is a E-machine AMD athlon (tm) XP 2600+

That isn't likely the problem.  I suspect that the graphics card or built in graphics is the problem.

The graphics textures are likely not being loaded properly.



eb36045 -> RE: White screen (11/7/2008 2:31:58 PM)

So what should I do?

Do what mbsports suggested -- run dxdiag and post the information here. Then someone should be able to tell you if the graphics card you have should be good enough to run the game. For instructions to show you how to run dxdiag and get the information, take a look at this post.



eb36045 -> RE: White screen (11/8/2008 4:28:01 AM)

Here it is



Marauders -> RE: White screen (11/8/2008 4:43:21 AM)

Here is the problem:

quote:

---------------
Display Devices
---------------
Card name: SiS 650/651/740/661FX/741/760 series
Manufacturer: SiS
Chip type: SiS 741   
DAC type: Internal
Device Key: Enum\PCI\VEN_1039&DEV_6330&SUBSYS_0C4D105B&REV_00
Display Memory: 32.0 MB


An integrated graphics chip with 32MB RAM isn't going to be able to load the graphics textures.



Marauders -> RE: White screen (11/8/2008 4:51:06 AM)

The SiS741 uses and AGP controller.

If you open up the case and look at the motherboard, is there an open AGP slot on the board (usually brown rather than white), or is it soldered in (just a buch of soldered holes instead of a slot)?



eb36045 -> RE: White screen (11/8/2008 3:05:51 PM)

so now what?



Mykal -> RE: White screen (11/8/2008 11:56:16 PM)

Now your gonna need to do what Marauders has asked
to check to see if you have an open slot for a graphics card
if you have your gonna have to buy a good card to be able to play the game



eb36045 -> RE: White screen (11/9/2008 12:38:20 AM)

So how do I do that?

eb36045 -> RE: White screen (11/9/2008 3:51:32 PM)

If there is, what graphic card should I get?



eb36045 -> RE: White screen (11/9/2008 3:57:14 PM)

Okay there are a three open slots,now what ?



quixian -> RE: White screen (11/9/2008 11:42:45 PM)

As long as one of your free slots looks like the colored slot in this picture:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:AGP_slot.jpg

You should be OK to install an AGP video card.  Probably the cheapest you can go and still run MaxFB 2.0 well with your system would be with one of the following cards:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131039

Once you get the card, it's a relative snap to install, just follow the instructions with the card and you'll do fine.




Marauders -> RE: White screen (11/10/2008 4:14:11 AM)

A Radeon X1650PRO 512MB isn't much more expensive and is much better than the GeForce 6200.

You have to have an AGP slot open. The white PCI slots will not help you unless you want to put a standard PCI (not PCIe) card in. A PCI card will bottleneck at the bus, but even that is usually better than older integrated graphics.




eb36045 -> RE: White screen (11/11/2008 2:37:04 AM)

Okay! Thanks everyone.



eb36045 -> RE: White screen (12/20/2008 4:33:39 PM)

I got a A Radeon X1650PRO 512MB but it don't fit my computer is a E-machine AMD athlon (tm) XP 2600+ what video card should I get that can fit.



Marauders -> RE: White screen (12/20/2008 9:18:23 PM)

That machine should likely either have and AGP slot, or if that is soldered in, it will only have an old PCI slot.  That is NOT a PCIe slot.

What kind of slot was the X1650Pro set up for?




eb36045 -> RE: White screen (12/21/2008 4:18:58 PM)

I think PCI



Marauders -> RE: White screen (12/21/2008 6:08:14 PM)

PCI or PCIe?

One should not confuse PCI with PCIe slots.  Yes, it was stupid to name the PCIe slot as such, but we're stuck with it.

PCI are the short black slots in your computer.  They are old technology.

AGP would likely be tan, but it can be any color, as can PCIe, but PCIe is the newest slot alternative.




eb36045 -> RE: White screen (3/2/2009 6:25:02 PM)

I've just got a NIVIDIA GeForce 6200 will that do?



Mykal -> RE: White screen (3/3/2009 6:30:11 PM)

the 6200 series is a little light in the overall memory area as far as graphics cards go these days
although having said that you will sneek in at 128mb
on the plus side it has Shaders so you shouldnt experience all the blacked out shadiums when using shadows

so yes, that should do



eb36045 -> RE: White screen (3/4/2009 3:42:46 AM)

Thanks Max Mykal
