    Have you uninstalled the gfx driver, then rand a driver cleaner ~(I recommend Driver Sweeper 3.2.0), then reinstall the latest driver for that card...?

     

    Yes, I spent a very long time (almost a whole day) trying to sort out my graphic card issue. It only worked when I installed the drivers that came with the card itself and would not work with any later version; Windows would not even load. I am not sure exactly what the problem is, but I know others have experienced similar issues. I think I will need to resolve it in the near future.

    That hints also to your video driver.

    Please update it.

     

    For the file permissions, right-click on the tdm folder, select properties, tab security, give yourself (or everybody) full control.

    (Solved this issue also in the new version of my tdm-installer)

     

    I would also Like to see the content of darkmod.log.

     

    Hi Freyk. As I said above, installing more recent drivers caused serious issues with my PC. To be honest, I'd just left it alone, but I may have to find a real solution to that issue to play TDM at good resolutions.

     

    I did the file permissions previously, but it didn't seem to make any difference.

     

    I have attached the log file if you wish to take a look.Darkmodlog.txt

     

    Sometimes drivers have problems with non-standard resolutions.

     

    See if these changes\additions to Darkmod.cfg allow the game to boot:

     

    seta r_customHeight "480"

    seta r_customWidth "640"

    seta r_useSoftParticles "0"

    seta image_downSizeSpecular "1"

    seta image_downSizeBump "1"

     

    That worked. Thank you very much. I'll play around with different settings.

    Copy your Darkmod.cfg to the desktop and give it a txt extension, then you should be able to upload it using the "More Reply Options" button.

     

    Make sure your Driver setting is set for Single Display, Maximum Power (profile), and that Threading Optimizations and Vsync are disabled.

     

    Have you tried running The Dark Mod in Windows XP compatibility mode?

     

    OK. I tried all of those. Unfortunately, the problem remains.

     

     

     

    Are you sure your getting a BSOD and not a CTD (crash to desktop) thats casing the BSOD..?

     

    That's a good question. It goes straight from the game loading screen to the BSOD. It did crash to desktop once and gave me an open GL error message. I think it's same problem, but I cannot claim any great expertise on these matters.

    Is your darkmod directory set to "Read Only"?

    Do you have the latest drivers for your motherboard chipset and GPU?

    What TDM version are you trying to launch?

    Have you tried running tdm_updater to see if it repairs\replaces corrupt files?

    Please post your Darkmod.cfg

     

     

    My folder was set to read only. I changed that and I got a different error. An Open GL error. I tried a different mission and it went back to the blue screen. I have tried a couple more times and it's just blue screen again. Something odd happens: I uncheck the read only part, but when I click again, it's back on read only. I changed the permissions on the folder to give myself full control, but the problem persists. I tried the solution on the Microsoft website to remove read only and make it a system folder, but that didn't make any difference. I am the owner of the file.

     

    I guess it's a graphics card issue, which is odd because my old GPU was inferior to this one.

     

    I am running TDM 2.03. I have the latest motherboard drivers. However, I am using version 340.52 drivers that came with my GPU because the latest drivers (and other more recent ones) caused serious issues with my PC.

     

    I ran TDM update. It just downloaded the mirror files.

     

    I cannot post the CFG file.

    Hi everyone, my first post here. I've been playing this game for a long time, and I'd like to start by thanking you all for your amazing work.

     

    After years of problem free TDM gaming, I recently upgraded to a new PC. I was really looking forward to playing some of my favourite missions on a better rig. Unfortunately, I encountered a problem. I start the game, select a mission and press start. When the loading bar finishes, and it says 'mission loaded, please wait', I get a blue screen of death and the PC resets. My PC works normally otherwise, and other games run fine.

     

    I tried out a few different missions, and I also tried some different graphics settings, but the problem is the same. I looked in the FAQ but couldn't find anything relevant to my issue; I tried a search too with the same results. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

     

    My PC's specs are:

     

    Windows 7 N 64-bit SP1

    Intel Core i3 4370 @ 3.80GHz

    8.00GB RAM

    MSI H81M-E33 motherboard

    2GB NVIDA GeForce 610

     

    The error message from event viewer was:

     

    The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x00000116 (0xfffffa8008d08010, 0xfffff8800f3b793c, 0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000002). A dump was saved in: C:\Windows\MEMORY.DMP. Report Id: .

     

    Unfortunately, I cannot find the .dmp file.
