Possible BPPC Problem!
« on: January 11, 2006, 12:23:45 AM »
Right as afew of you's know I'm having trouble running heretic2 on my amiga1200. everytime I run the game I get a
Quote
Bad Blocklights Size

error message and the game quits, so this is on my BPPC 060/240. So I stripped my amiga and put in my 160 bppc card and ran heretic2 and it ran without a problem, they both have the same 060 chip but the 160 isnt scsi but the 240 is, so does anyone have an idea what is wrong with this card if indeed there is a problem with it as it runs payback,shogo and freespace fine but not heretic2 or quake ppc.

Thanks

Have you tried different memory simms?

No I have'nt tryed any other simms, but would a simm cause an game not to work?  Cause as I said the card runs payback,freespace and shogo fine without any problems and it runs most apps that require the PPC fine it just seems to be games that use the quake engine i have problems with on the 240 card:crazy:

Additionally, plugging a floppy power connector directly into A1200 motherboard floppy pins may provide more stability


Yea I already have that done :-)

Try booting your Bppc with the "s" key pressed,this way you will disable your scsi


Yea I tryed that with no joy, but thanks for the idea :-D

"Bad Blocklights Size" doesn't look like a hardware problem to me.


Well downloaded the heretic2 demo from aminet unpacked and ran on the bppc240= bad blocklights size change bppc card to bppc160= run's perfect (well except from the slow downs :madashell: ) so i'm just putting 1+1 together and maybe im coming up with 3 but its a starnge problem :-)

Ok stranger it is, I dont know if this will help anyone or give them an idea to what might be causing this, I started playing around the the effect details in heretic2 and if I put the gfx to lowest settings or the next one above lowest then heretic2 will run, but then if i try to move the gfx details above half way then i get that stupid error message.

So I'm gonna remove the voodoo3 2000 and add a bvision in its place and try again
