TR Legend keeps crashing.

Sorry, I posted this to wrong group first! :cln:

Played first level just fine with all enhancements on. Now that I've started Paraiso, every time I try to use the grapple, TR crashes out saying there was a problem with trl.exe. Will also crash sometimes when shooting gas tank on the truck that drives in. I've tried lowering almost all video settings and upgraded to Ver. 1.1 but no help. Am using an Nvidea GeForce 7800 GTX. Is that the problem? I read somewhere that Ver. 1.1 did not fix "the Nvidea problem", but I can't find anyplace that says what "the Nvidea problem" is. Can anyone help me out?

Run Diagnose.exe (http://www.tombraiderhub.com/download/diagnose.exe) and post the results. It might shed some light on your problem.

Hi Jetlock. The nVidia problem is the missing of the water effect in Next Generation, also that their drivers seem to make their cards run inefficiently, below their expected potential. ATI does way better. Even older ATI cards with only shader model 2.1 have no problem with the water effects.

Thanks for the info on the nVidea problem. My water looks great on my 7800 GTX. I fixed the crashing problem (so far) by uninstalling the upgraded? V 1.1 and reinstalling the original. Kept saved games and grapple seems to working OK for now. Thanks to all for the help. :)

:) Eh... have you played the level England yet?

nVidia users complained about the missing of water in that level. Lara swims in 'air' so to speak.

It happens on ATI cards too :tmb:

Not on the modern, shader model 3 and 2 supporting ATI cards.

You sure about that? I have Shader Model 2 and The water doesn't come up in England ;)

Which card exactly do you have?

U bought the ATI Radeon 9250? That is only Shader model 1.4 supporting. ;)

Nope. I don't have that card. I'll find out tomorrow. But, It's Shader model 2 ;)

Which card do you have then? You are saying "The water doesn't come up in England" so you are able to tell me what card it is you are using.
