Too bad. Reinstall. Are you getting an error message with that.

I have another question (crack for 1.02 works fine here, by the way, playing under win2000 sp4):

Has anybody seen a TRAINER for this game (ver. 1.02) ??? difficulty is very high in my opinion and can be rather frustrating. this savepoint system adds to the frustration.

groups like Pizzadox are trainer experts, arent they. I wonder if they are going to create a trainer :confused:

could someone help me out? i'm having a really annoying problem with vegas... i played it several days ago without any problems whatsoever on a clean installation and now the game doesn't start at all... i've tried reinstalling twice now to no avail. and i've tried all the various forms of NO CD patches out there for ver 1.0, 1.01, and 1.02 and the game doesn't start. whenever i try to run the game i can see my computer is trying to run something because the light on my case flashes but after a while it stops and when i check task manager, it doesn't show up under applications, but it DOES show up under processes just sitting there idly... strange thing is it doesn't lag my computer by eating up memory either... it says it takes up like 100,000K but my computer runs as if it's not even there

Do you use YASU 1.05 Before you started your game. Turn that on and off a couple times. Nothing shows up in WTM processes but it something is hanging. I'm guessing you've done a reboot as well. ? Also double check your firewall to make sure it hasn't blocked it.

hm... i tried doing all of that but it still doesn't work >_>

Does anyone have the optimised config files which would make vegas run smoothly on my system:

AMD Athlon XP 3200+
1GB RAM
ATI Radeon X1650 Pro 256MB GFX Card
Creative Audigy 2 XS Soundcard

Or is there a tweak toll for this game or maybe a generic tweak tool for all UT based games?

Thanks

Funny you mention that, I have just been working on that myself. I'm getting horrible frame rates and have everything turned, vertical sync, shadows very low.
Still reports of bugs even after the 1.02 patch. 9 pages worth. I know I don't have the best card in the world with my Geforce 6600/256 but I trying to push it with some pretty good kick in my 3.4 ghz and 2gigs of ddr2. I could just be peeing in the wind here, but these newer games are requiring more then what the majority of us have got for horsepower, unless they put out another patch that will ease up on these sucky framerates.

There are some Tips and Tweaks for this game

I've read everything posted on this thread.
I have a problem starting Rainbow Six Vegas, and I haven't found
A real solution around here.
So I'll ask in a more detailed way, and perhaps help other people
Which have the same problem as me.

First of all, my machine:
Intel Pentium 4 3Ghz
1GB RAM
ATI Radeon 9600 128MB

My problem:
I've installed the game, updated to 1.02 patch, and replaced the exe with the crack provided.
When I start the game I get the credits of UbiSoft and Unreal Technology
But when the loading screen comes with the runing soldiers above it just freezes.
I still hear the music, but the loading is stuck. And the soldiers above aren't really running...
I looked on the computer's red lamp, and its not working.
Like the computer is not proccessing anything.

After a couple of minutes the loading screen just crashes back to the desktop.

Someone here mentioned that this game doesn't support some of the video cards
And 9600 was included.
Its been said here that this game requires a pixel shade 3.0 video card or something like that.

Which leads me to my question:
If this in fact the problem (and it can't be managed by any software) is there
Any other way to make this game work without buying a new video card ?

I've tried everything mentioned here, and would REALLY appreciate any help.

Read the minimum system requirements (part of the game manual) as well as the forum FAQ for some general ideas on solving general gaming problems.

@Haunted
Yes the problem is with your graphics card! You wont be playing this game with an ATI Radeon 9600. Your card does not support SM3.

@Haunted ...

I had the same setup as you when I bought this game. What I did is went and got myslelf a Radeon X1650 Pro 256MB RAM with Shader Model 3 (Needed for Vegas) for £90 and sold the Radeon 9600 for £40. Cool Eh?

Thanks Prey !

"Want some super speedy framerate tips...well do you?
Well you can't blame master_chief for being rude.................nope joking. Here goes.

*NOTE* these tips only work with V-Sync OFF....OFF I SAID

For nvidia cards
1. Download and install the latest NVIDIA ForceWare drivers.
2. Download and install the "Coolbits2" registry tweak:
Coolbits 2
(To install, unzip then double-click the .reg file to apply the registry mod)
3. Go to Control Panel -> Display -> Settings tab -> Advanced -> GeForce XXXX (your card model)
4. Expand "Performance & Quality Settings"
5. Click on "Additional Direct3D Settings"
6. Change "Max Frames to render ahead" from 3 to 0. 1 seems a very good setting.
7. Click "Apply" then "OK" to exit the settings page.

For ATI

For ATI users, you can adjust the 'Flip Queue' setting which is the equivalent setting to the one above by installing and using ATI Tray Tools. The same values apply to both cards.
Download ATI Tray Tools
Adjust same as Nvidia. Try a Flip Queue of 1 then 0 and see what's better.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Locate
Ubisoft\Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas\KellerGame\Config\PC\KellerEngine.ini
If you installed to a different directory just locate
KellerGame\Config\PC\KellerEngine.ini
People will tell you to edit othe ini files but only KellerEngine.ini has any direct effct on the game engine. The others are for default bootups.

AS ALWAYS BACKUP KellerEngine.ini BEFORE HACKING!

As this is based on the Unreal engine there are a few speedy tweaks we can do, alot actually.

locate the lines

UseTrilinear=True
LevelOfAnisotropy=4

change them to

UseTrilinear=False
LevelOfAnisotropy=2

or you could

UseTrilinear=True
LevelOfAnisotropy=1

I think you all get the gist with that one.

Locate

bUsePostProcessEffects=True

change to

bUsePostProcessEffects=False

Turns off the stupid framerate sapping bloom\blur effects

Locate

UserMaxTextureSize=4096

Change

UserMaxTextureSize=2048

Texture resolutions. 4096 is very high. Too high for 256 meg cards. 1024 might even work. Always work in multiples of 64.

locate

ShadowBufferResolution=1024

change

ShadowBufferResolution=512

Shadow resolution. Will look blocky but your framerate will improve. "

I tried these tweaks and they help quite a bit without noticing any quality reduction. Framerates much better.

stop updating and use the crack from GCW v1.0 it works
