Blue Shift wont run....

[Andrew LB]

Can anyone help me out on this one. I'm trying to run Blue Shift but it wont run in Direct 3d mode with 32-bit color. I was able to get it running once in Glide-32bit but right after getting my handgun and body armor, it crashed and will not load the game anymore. Even got a nice BSOD last time around.

Any tips other than "reinstall"?

Anything I am missing that I just forgot about. It may be due to vista 64-bit....

I see no problems in your setup... Yeah, it is most likely Vista. That it's the 64-bit version probably complicates things more. Other people are having this problem, too, it seems... :-/

try running is opengl for those games. they tend to run better that way.its possibly vista though since i dont believe its supported.

OpenGL is Glide.

^^^ Heh... man. I just realized I typed Glide instead of OpenGL.

... shows my age i guess. Last time I had an issue with Glide games was back when I got my nVidia Geforce 1, switching over from "glide friendly" 3dfx cards.

OpenGL is Glide.

haha sorry, im not familiar with the old opengl technology.

Well... after a reinstall, everything seems to be fine running OpenGL +32-bit colors.

Just got to Rosenberg.

Spoiler

Btw.... considering how he mentions that everyone is out after "some guy named Freeman"... i don't think Rosenberg is one of the science team guys you see on the infamous group photo in HL2...
