The "V" is one of the forums I hang around. Mentioned just now on the private forum.

Well, I definitely have Deus Ex installed, I have the 1.112fm patch, and I'm pretty sure this is a PC I'm currently using

Problem: I still get an error message. I use the shortcut in the start menu, but when I click it, I get an error message saying (translated freely from Danish

):

The Cassandra Project: Cassandra.exe - The component wasn't found
This program couldn't start, because glide2x.dll wasn't found. The problem could possibly be solved by installing the program again.

And then it opens the mod in a window, the full screen toggle button in the options menu doesn't do anything, and if I increase the resolution from 640x480 to 600x800, it switches back when I restart the game. What could I have done wrong?

Sounds like it is trying to load glide, failing and dropping back to the default windowed driver. In the display options, see if you can change the display driver to Direct 3D, or start in safe mode and change the display driver that way. Avoid the OpenGL driver unless you like headaches. Which version of Direct X do you have installed, and do you have the latest drivers for your graphics card?

I think there may be a problem with the menus. I've started crashing fairly regularly now, mostly when I either try to quick-load after a death or whenever I try to bring up the main menu. Every time it gives the direct-draw error.

General Production Fault!

The game crashes to the desktop and produces that error message during the pan over Charlotte's sholder outside the bar during the cutschene. My computer is an 1500 Mhz Intel Pentium 4, 256 Meg of Ram with Geforce 2. The moon is currently a waxing cresent.

**Jonas Wæver** · 2nd Jul 2003 12:44

It's already set to Direct 3D. I'm pretty sure I have 8.1 and yeah, I have the latest drivers. I got a Radeon 9500 Pro.

**Tim Was Already Taken** · 2nd Jul 2003 12:59

I resolved itself the second time I ran it.

If you just include all of the CS media with a HL mod, you're giving away the hard work of the guys that did CS to people who haven't paid for the privelige. Kind of makes you a pirate.

We /did/ include a Special Thanks in the credits. There was never any reply to our email, though. So we just went ahead.

Managed to get this when I got out of last challenge in the danger room. It happened when I got on to the elevator and an enemy below spotted me and sounded the alarm.

I love the way DX error messages throw up random Smilies in the middle. It's so very... appropriate.

**Morte** · 2nd Jul 2003 13:57

They mock us, they do. The bastards.

**T.natrix** · 3rd Jul 2003 12:34

i got a strange problem with the modell textures and modells it self... viewing from distance it seems just like i can see the troopers without armor wearing some blue shirt... getting closer they slowly get their uniform.. other characters just look colorfull from distance ...
i got no problem with models from dx as the beggar in the bar..
Ive got a Radeon 9700 with Catalysts 3.5 driver problem?

**Always_Black** · 3rd Jul 2003 13:01

Can you get a screenshot of that?

just an example...

**Always_Black** · 3rd Jul 2003 13:24

Weird. Never seen anything like that before.

Do you get that in the original DX or any other games?

**T.natrix** · 3rd Jul 2003 13:27

no just in the cassandra mod... maybe a catalysts problem...

**Always_Black** · 3rd Jul 2003 13:38

The thing is, I can't see how we've done anything that'd affect video like that. We rely pretty much on DX staying just as it was in that respect.

Unless it's to do with the number and size of textures that are visible at any one time, because I have to admit, I wasn't too concerned about limiting them considering how far videocards have come along in the last few years.

**Always_Black** · 3rd Jul 2003 15:05

Nomj on State has discovered that his problems went away when he did a full-install of DX with all media before patching and installing Cassandra.

Maybe this will help.

Hi.
Just downloaded CP ,went through danger rooms no problems until, at the bottom of room 6 (skyscraper simulation) as I jumped through a gap in the floor it froze. I couldn't quit in anyway. ctrl+alt+dlt didn't work and alt-tabbing didn't either. So I did what any computer expert would do in a situation like this: swore and turned the damn thing off and on again

. I tried it again, 2 more times in fact and the same thing happened, then I tried the stairs, that worked I opened the blast doors and if was away, until I reached the lift 10m on when, it froze again, to another round of swearing I rebooted again, got past the lift and it froze in the corridor just beyond

I've tried again but got stuck at the door again) can any1 help me out?
P.S. On my save games in CP i have |-cheats enabled-| over the picture, is this something i've done by accident or something that happens due to the mod?

1.6 ghz p4
Voodoo 3 (had some difficulties with this and it can mess up sometimes and won't accept new updates :S)
Win XP
