[reznorbaa]

Hi everyone!

I get the full secret ops installer for prophecy.
I installed it cerrectly, to the prophecy's dir. After that I get a launcher screen, I tried to play the game, but it isn't start. It's just changing resolution, a black scrren appear, and after a sec I get back to dekstop.

Was anybody walk in my shoes?

If anybody can help, please post message back here, or my mail address: balazs.huvely@gmail.com

on amd 3200+ athlon 64 venice
and a gef7900GS VGA card.

Thank for all help. See ya.

Oh I'm again...

I downloaded a patch which enables a new menu before starting game. I can switch resolutions and HW acceleration. If I running the game in software acceleration, the situation is the same as above.

If I set to d3d an error message appear: GL_d3d_5::createZbuffer attach failed 87

Anybody can help me?

I looked after installation instructions, but i haven't found it. Any suggestion where can I find?

Thanx for all, Reznorbaa

My copy of Secret Ops is installed in its own directory, not the one for Prophecy. I'm no expert but maybe that could be the problem.

I tried this way too. I installed to secret ops directory, but it isn't start.

Yes, Secret Ops is not an addon to Prophecy. It should be installed to its own directory. It requires compatibility mode to run in XP. I would not expect it to run on Windows 2003 Server without something similar enabled.

OK. I installed yesterday to it's own directory, but still the same problem.

It doesn't start. When I click to start SO, black screen appear than an 1/4 black screen on the top left side of the screen, and get back to desktop. That's all. Still doesn't work.

Maybe it is a video card issue... I think.

Has anybody any idea? Thanks.

Did you enable compatibility mode? I'm pretty sure you must do this before you make any progress here. An OS like that isn't really meant to play games from 1998. Enabling compatibility mode in Windows 2000 required a bunch of initial setup before you could turn it on, but it sounds like 2003 has made it easier.
