Problem with s3 savage 4 drivers.

[betoe]

The problem here is that always when i want to start a baseball game, when the presentation of the first batter of the game (no matters which team is, even in demo mode) end, the game is suddenly closed. I think its by my damned & cheapest S3 savage 4 video & sound (this last integrated on the mainboard) card.

In tech support it appear this:

In the second one the outfields seems very bad in the game, like it was raining. Also i put the links coz the images are BMP's, dont know why damned paint dont gave me the option for save as JPG. After the third one, the game crashes and the desktop appear on the screen.

I had tried some drivers for this devices but no one worked correctly for the game. Does anybody have similar hardware? Its difficult to obtain the latest drivers for this hardware, i will never buy another PC like this (i did it coz i didnt enough money for a better one).

Hope somebody can help me.

I'm 100% sure the S3 savage 4 video is the problem, the game was not written to support that obscure video card.

It's a long shot at best, but you might want to try the tweaks found in the "GeForce Player Detail" sticky thread in this forum...or search for 3D Analyze.

Thanks by you tip, i will download that program tomorrow, and read that topic, hope it will help me.

Buy another video card isnt good for me, are expensives here in Mexico, it would be better to buy an x box, but i dont have money for that .
