TMD 2.0.7 nightmare on Windows 7 32 bit

[paganzombie]

As the title says, I have been trying to get TDM 2.0.7 working on two computers with Windows7 32 bit.

Both have older Radeon displays, and the best I can get is a Mission Loading screen that crashes to desktop half-way through.

I have tried every tweak mentioned on this forum, to no avail. I can get TDM 2.0 from 2013 working on both machines.

Sync fence? 

What is the gpu model?

 

[paganzombie]

ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5730 on an ASUS laptop and ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2400 XT on an iMac running Windows 7 on Bootcamp.

Sorry, I have to ask

Do you have the latest drivers installed?

In any case, try this cvar in darkmod.cfg:

r_useFenceSync 0

running on a imac, paganzombie?
Did you know that tdm runs on mac os?

I know it sounds like an archaic work-around, but if all else fails maybe a small partition solely for TDM running Mac OS, and leave the rest of your space for Windows to do everything else you are used to on your machine?

or from the other side,
(even smaller) install wine on mac os and run windows programs on it. (pro-tip: use frontend "playonmac")
or you can run windows 7 on virtualbox on mac os, to run tdm. (but that works very slow)
and tdm runs on linux distro's (on a mac) and the solutions above.
For more info, see the tdm wiki article.
