Problems running C2 under XP

Post by Bettox »

Hi, I'm hoping someone here will be able to help with my problem.

I've just reinstalled C2, downloaded the carma2_hw.exe and the dgVoodoo glide wrapper. C2 installed with no problems but when I try to run it it crashes with a memory reference error.

What have I done wrong?

Thanks

Please use the "Search" function of this site.

There are already numerous posts on this topic already.

BTW, DGVoodoo didn't work for me, GlideWrapper did on XP

Thanks for your reply. I had already used the search function but could find no reference to this error.

Has your forum db been purged recently? I found several references to this site on Google that looked promising but on following the links I got a thread not found page.

Perhaps you could be so kind as to point me in the direction of one of the posts you refer to?

Incidentally the error seems as if it might be related to the carma2_hw.exe file I downloaded. Are there several versions of this file, and if so where can I get one that works?

the best bet is to get the v2 patch and then the v2 crack and the known working glide wrapper http://www.zeckensack.de/glide/

The data base is fine.

Make sure you choose "All Posts" under date range and "And" under search options.

Fewer keywords is sometimes better than more.

But, your problem usually boils down to the files Dark Angel mentions.

here's another link to DL patch
