Title: Re:RS Colors: messed HELP Post by: (SiX)Ben on August 25, 2002, 11:32:36 pm Steps..
1 its memory. Reaqllocate less memory to RS, or if theres not enough, reallocate more... 2) its RS prefs, trash your prefs (system folder - preferences) and restart your comp after you erase trash 3) It's open gl. Trash open gl, empty trash, install open gl from the RS cd, and restart computer. 4) its pram (longshot) restart computer holding p and r. It will reboot pram. Hold it till teh computer restarts 3 extra times... If none of those work, ask me again...

Title: Re:RS Colors: messed HELP Post by: [d]-[p a t] on August 26, 2002, 11:38:44 pm OK, bronto, i did the allocation of memory etc... but there is something weird. in rs info, i come up with version 1.0.1... is that strange considering i installed both updates?
Title: Re:RS Colors: messed HELP Post by: SK on August 27, 2002, 07:43:11 am i had the same problem either buy more memory or change the memory to 19000 both perfered and minimal
Title: Re:RS Colors: messed HELP Post by: [d]-[p a t] on August 27, 2002, 10:57:39 pm I don't think i will buy more memory, as i am saving up for a new comp anyways... there are some very weird things happening. when i play rs just in single player, it works flawlessly... when i play over internet, it works ok sometimes. it was working well yesterday after i reinstalled but then i hosted and it's fucked...
Title: Re:RS Colors: messed HELP Post by: PsYcO aSsAsSiN on August 27, 2002, 11:03:59 pm Up the VRAM for RS...this used to happen to me and I would get mirrored walls and some rooms in the Met would have floating terrs. Either increase memory allocation with your SDRAM, or activate your VRAM and up the level...I think I used to run RS off 120 MB of RAM for effectiveness on my old p.o.s. 333iMhz iMac.
Title: Re:RS Colors: messed HELP Post by: [d]-[p a t] on August 28, 2002, 09:07:41 pm OK, i'll try the upping the VRAM but first i need to know how to do it??? Where is the VRAM optioor something? i have no idea.. i'm not the computer smart guy >:(
Title: Re:RS Colors: messed HELP Post by: [d]-[p a t] on August 28, 2002, 09:08:31 pm btw, if any one else has any ideas, plz post them because i'll be away on Cape Cod for 5 days and when i come back i would like to fix it.. thanks (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~damnr6/yabbse/YaBBImages/beer.gif)

I KNOW some1 has had the same problem as me... so i still am craving your thoughts on how to fix it! i need help, desperately. Sin said something about VRAM, i really don't know what it is so maybe someone could clarify it for me and how it could be hurting my beloved rs (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~damnr6/yabbse/YaBBImages/ukliam2.gif) (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~damnr6/yabbse/YaBBImages/ukliam2.gif) (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~damnr6/yabbse/YaBBImages/ukliam2.gif) (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~damnr6/yabbse/YaBBImages/ukliam2.gif)
Title: Re:RS Colors: messed HELP Post by: PsYcO aSsAsSiN on August 30, 2002, 12:32:30 am VRAM = Virtual memory
This is how you get there in OS9. Apple Menu/Control Panels/Memory In the middle of that window should say virtual memory on( ) off(*). Click it to the on position and increase the memory that it shows you as having. I'd put this number around 400-500MB higher than the number it shows you. (i.e. if you have 256MB of memory installed on your machine, the number it will show you will start at 256MB) Then go to your RS application and set the minumum memory requirement to about 125MB. Enter that same number under the preferred size. So it should read: Suggested size: 104833K Minimum size: 125000K Preferred Size: 125000K Restart your computer and try playing it...let me know what happens. Title: Re:RS Colors: messed HELP Post by: P?T.cape cod on August 30, 2002, 09:40:40 pm OK, currently i am away from the computer that plays RS, but that sounds like the first idea that would work, yet. thanks, i'll let u know when i get a chance to try it (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~damnr6/yabbse/YaBBImages/beer.gif)
