Recently when trying to play some T2 FMs over darkloader after quite a while I realized that I am unable to play the game. The game starts properly (start screen, loading etc) but when finally jumping into the game the textures are bleached bright, sky is non existent and after a few moments and/or when trying to walk the game crashes to desktop.
This is my system: win xp pro/an early(i.e., non-dual core) p4/ati 800gto w driver version 8162/t2 updated to 1.33 in order to use darkloader.
The bleached textures/crashing issue is the same for standard t2/any t2 fan mission under darkloader.
However, this is weird: I have t1 (standard) also installed and it runs just well!
Trying standard solutions (changing ingame resolution, changing system color depth (32bit->16bit), removing/adding the semicolon in .cfg) didnt help. However, I did not try to reinstall as the game seems properly installed (it starts properly at least) and I am not sure about reinstalling being the best solution under the circumstances anyway.
Pls help, this is just ridiculous

It sounds very much like a driver issue
I would do some research on the driver version your using, I would suggest upgrading the latest version, but just google to be sure.
Also look for a firmware update for your X1800 card and find the latest bios update for your motherboard.

Reinstalling did help... no, not the entire system just the game :erg:
Still suspect the way T2 got out of track relates somehow to Win automatic updates....turned off ever since

Yeah I stopped using that ages ago, I use ' Autopatcher ' now and then only install critical updates..
