Well i already posted into another thread but noone seems to be reading that one anymore.
So ill try again with a new thread.
Problem is, that when i leave the "derelict apartment building" level via the door in the elevator generator room the load screen for the " indusrial rooftops" level appears ( as it should i presume).
But after about 10 sec a " please insert disc 1" message appears, from that moment on it seems that the load screen and the message are fighting about who's gonna stay on top ( sorry don't know how to put it otherwise ) which creates some kind of flashing effect.
And there it hangs then.
Nothing i did could remedy that and i really need some help here because i really want to play that game!
Here is what i did so far:
1. Made a full install ( No changing cd's eh? nope didn't work)
2. Checked the game folder size wich should be around 1.45 GB
( it's 1.36 GB - so that seems to be ok)
3. Checked free disc space ( got 4.80 GB left on that drive - should be ok as well)
4. uninstalled the game & made a regular install ( didnt work either)
5. to cut the story short i made a minimum install & a custom one ( to no avail)
6. installed the patch with every installation after trying it out without. ( well guess )
7. even did a defrag between installations.
Please do help if yer can!!!
Edit:
Ah and there is another thing I just noticed.
In the first installation I changed the key mappings but they are still there even after uninstalling the game several times.
Does anyone know where the keymappings are beeing saved to?
I haven't found them so far.
And are there more files wich are not saved into the game folder??? if yes wich and where are they?
edit 2:
maybe i should add my sys specs:
AMD Athlon 2600+
512MB DDR 333
Geforce ti 4200
MSI KT4v - L(MS-6712) Motherboard
Via onboard sound (VIA AC'97) -works a treat
Windows XP PRO
DirectX 9.0a
Using latest detonator Version: 44.03
Thx in advance
