Nope. MVE is the original FS2 format and it always will be supported. Why should you drop it?

[CKid]

Check which kind of movie files you have and grab the ogg version from the Upgrade area in forums. ( Sorry I can't remember an exact link, ask in that area where can you get them)

Found the links here: http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,44291.80.html but all the links are dead.

Someone with Turey's Installer go search the \Installer directory for text files containing "ogg".  find the one that has the address where they're downloaded from.  Post it here, using [url=http://url.com/path/file]click here[/url]  If not, I'll do it when I get home.

AVI alone. MVE has not been dropped.

Why MS Sam is broken in every 3.6.10 build?

[Cobra]

Everyone hates Sam.

Why MS Sam is broken in every 3.6.10 build?

Because I don't make non-release builds with speech or voice recognition support (unless I happen to be testing either one of those features for bugs/fixes).

For those having problems with ATI graphics cards and GLSL, I may have a fairly simple solution. This is a solution for those whose game consistently crashes on startup with the error message saying there was a problem with module atioglxx.dll

The only part of the drivers that seem to be having problems is atioglxx.dll, so all that is needed is an older version of that file. Searching around I found one that works for me here:

Download this dll and put it in your Freespace 2 folder. The game will then use this dll instead of using the newer version from the drivers, and hopefully the game should now be able to run with GLSL and normal mapping enabled.

I can't guarantee this will work for everyone but it worked for me.

I attempted this with my 9500Pro.  No dice.

[Cobra]

Yeah, well, 9500s suck anyways.

[EDIT] I got my 8600 working on 163.75 drivers. GLSL works now, but for some strange reason I get massive drops in FPS, from, say, 80 to 20-30 whenever a subspace vortex opens up or a ship fires a beam or a destroyer explodes. The drop is also accompanied by severe hanging.

[Zacam]

Well, it's an 8600, they suck anyway. :eyeroll:

Seriously, there's going to be a bit of drops until things get ironed out, that's why this is not an official release.

And to point out, my 8500, 9600 XT, GeForce 5700 and 8800 all suffer the exact same issues unter the exact same circumstances, so it's nothing card related.

[Cobra]

Well no duh, I can play games more graphically intense than this game with very little framerate drops.

[Turambar]

any chance of normal maps working nicely on my poor old x600 in the future?

I tried both this and rolling back to an entire Catalyst 6.4 install, from NGO Optimized Drivers.  Neither worked, but, they did cause errors in different stages of the process.  Some later, some sooner.  Once again though, I now have broken Direct3D 7 support on my pc, so I'm done messing with all these friggin driver reinstalls.  Gonna have to reformat to fix it again.

[Macfie]

The normal maps work with my x700 but I had to turn off GLSL.  I haven't tried the dll

[MP-Ryan]

Errr... GLSL is required in order to get the shader effects from the normal maps I thought?

Anyway, yeah, if I turn off GLSL all is well with this build.  9500s don't have SM3 support, so it doesn't appear that any amount of workarounds are going to get GLSL running on this card anytime soon.

Have to wait for a new build I guess =)

[Cobra]

He's getting the textures that go with the normals, but none of the shader mapping.

[Macfie]

I tried the dll file that dmart04 posted and everything works now shading included.

What driver version are you using, and what card do you have?

[Macfie]

ATI X700 pro with catalyst 7.10

[chief1983]

Yeah, I tried it with my 9800 Pro and the 7.10 drivers and it didn't seem to work for me.
