Chapter 3 end cut scene problems (spoilers!)reverendanthony10/07/2008 - 18:35

After beating the final level on Chapter 3, after the gun rises into the air and right as the screen fades to the cut scene where it's fired, the game crashed. I couldn't get the error code becuase it wouldn't allow me to copy it for some reason, but that's okay -- it ended up working the second time I tried it.

The problem, however, came with what followed the cut scene: the monitor says something like "the game's in 3D, you need to go to the info superhighway" and the entire screen became filled with a white field as little black balls with grey-whitish boxes surrounding them flew across the screen. I fiddled around with my mouse and found if I clicked and held in the right place, it would turn into the rotating "you just clicked on a goo" cursor, but without anything being there and without me being able to do anything else. I couldn't quit, or go back to the menu, or click on anything of importance. I quit and can get to chapter 4 without much problem, but whatever was in that little scene looked pretty cool -- I surmise it's gotta be a graphics problem of some sort, but I have no idea what or why or how to fix it. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Yup, I've just had the same problem. In case it's helpful I've attached a screenshot -- the blobs travel quickly to the right while rotating. I'm happy to drag out any diagnostics about my graphics card and drivers if that's useful...

Apparently, you are incompatible with the 3d world :D


(I'll go away now)

I'm running Windows XP with an Nvidia Geforce go 7600.

Re: Chapter 3 end cut scene problems (spoilers!)drybones10/10/2008 - 17:02

I'm on XP with a GeForce 7900 GT. DxDiag attached for more detail.

The rest of the game seems to be working happily for me  :)

Exactly the same problem here.

XP SP2
Nvidia GeForce 6800.

Other than that minor glitch that doesn't really interfere with the game, you've got yourself one of the best made games since Canon Fodder :) 

Kudos guys.

Same problem.  Screen full of fast moving blobs and the normal black blobby cursor.  Had to alt+tab out to kill the game.  Restart and it works though.

Vista 32 bit
8800 Ultra
