Creative Labs 3D Annihilator 2 & Tomb Raider

[16_161Scorch]

I went from a Voodoo 2 to the 3D Blaster Annihilator 2 video card recently. Now I am unable to play Tomb Raider no matter what I do. It will crash to desktop (CTD) after the load bar no matter what I have tried so far. Uninstall, re-install, patch, any combination of setup, update my card drivers (v 6.34a "Fast Track") I had no problems with the Voodoo. It just don't seem to like the Annihilator 2

I'm stuck, what do I try now?

Please respond

First off, make sure you have installed DirectX 7.0 (NOT v8.0). Also, who manufacturers your card (brand or make).

Also, are you able to run TRC "Software Only" and if so, how have you got TRC configured (in setup, which boxes are ticked, and at which res. and texture depth are you running the game)

Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. Here's what I've got:

Card: Creative Labs 3D Blaster Annihilator 2 Geforce 2 GTS (Nvidia)
Drivers: CL "Fast Track" v6.34
Direct X: 8.0

I gather this might be the problem. Will TR every be DX8 playable?

I am not able to get past the load bar no-matter-what I try in setup.

There is a copy of DirectX7 on the Chronicles CD. Install from there and return to this thread with the results. Also, how do you have your game setup (in the setup screen prior to gameplay) ?

I don't have TRC I have Tomb Raider Last Revelation. I am having the same problem with TRIII
