 |
|
ok, i DLed the CVS build of SM and installed it, but it wont start. everytime i launch it, the screen goes black and freezes. I installed it to a diff folder than the original SM (if that matters, since i know nothing of CVS), and copied all my songs to the new song folder. in case u need to know im running at roughly 450mhz, 256mb RAM. Any help on this would be appreciated

You haven't listed enough about your system for people to help...
Chances are, it's your video card or drivers. Make sure they're the latest drivers.
3.0 Final uses Direct3D as the renderer while CVS uses OpenGL as the preferred renderer. If you have a crap card or an old card, you should check out Direct3D.
Open the stepmania.ini file in Notepad and change the "VideoRenderers" argument to:
VideoRenderers=d3d
And you don't need to have two sets of songs for 3.0 Final and CVS. In the "AdditionalSongFolders" argument, point it to where the 3.0 Final songs are located. For example, if your songs are in F:\Program Files\StepMania\Songs and F:\Program Files\StepMania\Songs2:
AdditionalSongFolders=F:\Program Files\StepMania\Songs,F:\Program Files\StepMania\Songs2
And for CVS, don't click on the desktop or hit the keyboard while it's loading. I think it's a bug but when you do this, you can't control anything in the game. Something like it can't switch tasks properly back to Stepmania when you switch the task from Stepmania to the Windows desktop... |

On very rare occasions i can get it to work properly, unless i go to the graphic options screen. i cant change the graphic options or the theme or it will crash and the settings will remain as they were. Since this probably is a video problem ill tell u im using a 3D Blaster RIVA TNT2 Ultra, display driver is: 3dbt2w9x.drv. Device driver is: nvmini.vxd. SDRAM: 32 MB. Im using a ViewSonic PF790 monitor (i think). If any more information is needed just ask. I dont know the last time i updated anything because this was my dad's computer, he just recently got a new one and gave me this one. There is no specific brand since he built it from different parts.

| That all depends on what features you use... I love CVS, some of the arcady features help a lot (Beginner mode for my n00b friends, coin-op for when I finally get around to building a coin box, dancing characters) and it actually runs better on my old POS computer (now my dedicated DDR machine ). Sure, it's not perfect, but that's why you can wait for 4.0 if you want. What do you have against CVS? |

That's not a query, that's a poorly-stated opinion with no stated rationale. :) If you want anyone to take your opinion seriously, state it intelligently and tell people *why* you think that way. Otherwise, you'll just be ignored. |
