Project snowblind with AMD Thunderbird

[superhero]

Got errors during startup. Is it the same problem as Brothers in Arms because of no SSE?

Exception at: 09/04/2005 at 03:05:42
Exception code: Illegal instruction (c000001d): Exception address: 0x005855d8

CPU info:
---------
EAX = 0x43b9955c
EBX = 0x00000000
ECX = 0xc4633580
EDX = 0x44fa2dfb
ESI = 0x00ed98a0
EDI = 0x029133b0
EIP = 0x005855d8
ESP = 0x0032da84
EBP = 0x0032da88


Thanks for advise

I can play with AMD, I use Barton

LOL one more reason why the guy above is best gone.


@superhero

I do believe so, some games require the SSE instruction set :\

But I dont think BIA is one of them that uses SSE, whats your PC specs?

I dont have Project Snowblind, but here is the specs required for the game


IBM PC or 100% compatible
Microsoft Windows 2000/XP (Windows 95, 98, ME and NT are NOT SUPPORTED)
Pentium IV, 1.5 GHz (Or AMD Athlon XP equivalent) processor
100% DirectX 64 MB 3D Accelerated video card with Pixel Shader v1.1 Capability
256 MB System RAM
100% DirectX 9 Compatible Sound Card
3GB free uncompressed hard drive space (additional space may be necessary for saved games)
100% Windows 2000/XP compatible Mouse and Keyboard
DVD-Rom Drive


Looks like it does need SSE and a decent GFX card that supports pixel shading 1.1

My config not actually meet the min requirement.

FX5900
AMD 1G Thunderbird.
768M RAM
Just want to try to see if I can play.

Anyway I think is my CPU problem.

Thanks

It appears that today's developers are putting SSE without knowing the sideeffects......for one only P3's and above have it. 2nd only AthlonXP and recent AMD processors have it. Thunderbirds and below don't. Some games(D-Day and Suffering) disable this option in recent patches......judging form the requirements of SnowBlind I doubt they will issue one.

Turn off "Enable Fullscreen Effects"

AMD Athlon Thunderbird 1.2

*poof*

- This is the error message that the game gives me.
I'm playing at:

I Can't understand the problem, but it's annoying.

Hey neskk,

Does this occur with the uncracked EXE and the original DVD? If so, you should ask the game publisher/manfacturer or send a post to the official game support forum. Also, make sure to update to the very latest release of your video card! Good luck,

Joe

[neskk]

Well I'm using a backup DVD and a cracked .exe but still it's stupid that error apear. I liked so much of the game that I was thinking to buy, but know...

Anyone can explain me who to solve this problem?

[DABhand]

oh dear

[Joe Forster/STA]

neskk, have you read what I said? I think you didn't so try again...

[coffin filler]

Oh dear indeed. Another one bites the dust. @ nesKK i advise you to take a long look @ this http://fileforums.com/showthread.php?t=53978 If your hear long enough ;) . Original posted by Joe Forster/STA neskk, have you read what I said? I think you didn't so try again... Hint hint.

I've already tried the newest drivers from Nvidia what ended up worst than it was before. Now the driver crashes when I try to enter in the game. It was working better before with old drivers. Soooo, I'm not stupid and I continue search for a way to play the game.

@ neskk. Did you have a look on the link i provided you with ?. Did you manage to take the hint ? Or am i :confused: you

Wether i have D/L a game or not isnt the question here. The question should be "Have i ever been stupid enough to ask for help with WAREZ in a forum that clearly states no help with WAREZ @ all in any shape or form" and the answer would be NO!!!. (I am smart enough to read the rules before i post :p ). So work out the problem with your question: WTF is this about? About my problem with the game or about legal and ilegal? Simple huh ?. Ohh by the way i thought @ 1st we (the collective) would be able to help you not make the mistake many NoObs here @ GCW file forums do. But alas you did not take the HINTS by myself and others so you will reep your rewards. ;) (yes i am being sarcastic in case you missed that)

Bye, bye NESKK. Enjoy the ban!
