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

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.
