Fifa 2001??

**Emo** · Apr 9th, 2001, 04:03 PM

'I know this is a game programming forum, but I think this is the only place where I can get an answer for this!

I have this game (FIFA 2001) and from the beginning it was wonderful, but lately when I start any type of game, all the players are purple with blue stripes all over them!!! The ball looks like it's like a half-done wireframe object, and all the lights and shadows are messed up also... Does anybody have a solution for all this? I tried getting help from the Company, but they didn't respond.
I think the problem is my DirectX... I have v.8a so I don't think I need to update it! I tried re-installing it 3 times, but the same thing happens!!!

Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Not all games work with DX8. Have you tried installing DX7???

PS: You may need to reinstall windows before you can do this(at least I had).

Reinstall windows?? Couldn't you just remove DX8, then install DX7?

Yeah, I guess I can try that, but the weird thing is that the game works fine sometimes... for example today, I ran the game about 5 times and out of the 5 times, 1 time it was woking fine...

Megatron-> I don't know. I had to reinstall windows because a had installed the DX8 SDK, and I couldn't get rid of the files...

It hasn't got anything to do with DX, just get the latest drivers of your graphics card from your manufacturer...

I had the same thing with a voodoo2 card.

Oh, if you want to uninstall dx8 use this program:

??Re-installing windows?

BTW: What's your favorite team in fifa2001 (Barca rulez)?

The same thing happens to me when I use my Savage4 card in a demo of Oni, it comes out screwy 3 out of the 4 times.

What card do you have, it could explain a lot.

Finally I got it working...

I got a program from download.com to complitely uninstall DirectX and then I re-installed it, and now it's working fine...

P.S. pjvdg, I'm from Bulgaria, so Bulgaria is my Favorite. I downloaded the Bulgarian Soccer Team from the fifa2001.com site... I got so much stuff off there, like different balls, nets, players, everything...

fifa2001.net has a cool editor that allows you to change the billboards, shirts, etc.

Erno--> What is that program called??

**Sastraxi** · Apr 11th, 2001, 03:01 PM

Its aptly named DX Unistaller. *grin* I think it is, anyways it's on the start page so it isn't any hassle getting it.

**CyberCarsten** · Apr 11th, 2001, 03:38 PM

Thanks! I'll take a look!

pjvdg · Apr 11th, 2001, 04:07 PM

Do you all have problems with DX 8?

It wouldn't work on my good old 'superb' cyrix(p166) processor. So that's why I needed to buy a true intel processor, bad bad bad micro$oft!

Hey Emo, you forgot the solar system in your location description.

Earth, Solar System, Milkey Way Galaxy
