found my copy of american mcgee's alice but...

its running pretty badly at times on my machine, Vista 64, 4890, catalyst 10.2, 4 gigs ram, no other problems with any games (well except gta iv before I tweaked it). Any suggestions?

its a pretty old game...runs off the Quake 2 engine iirc.

Still, I've had it run on my PC fairly well. Dont know much about diagnosing problems like this, I heard rolling back your driver might help but not sure.

Set the affinity to 1 core, after that System Shock 2 and Postal 2 have no issues at all!

Run the game on compatibility mode.

Also, the game uses Starforce, which can cause many problems (Game not starting, crashes, etc.), so, you could try this out: http://www.glop.org/starforce/remove.php

Ive tried everything I know how, outside of downgrading drivers. I think it might be an opengl driver issue :( how sad.

You could try running it in direct3D mode. Try adding -direct3d to the target line of a shortcut. Some gaems allow it dunno if alice does.

Sorry to go off-topic, but you are so lucky, it's a very rare game, where did you get it?

i have a copy of this game somewhere... i got to find it and play it again.

ok so I fixed it, it was a driver issue that seemed to have popped up as soon as windows 7 support started. So I uninstalled my display drivers, downloaded catalyst 8.9, extracted the files of both catalyst 10.2 and 8.9.

Then I copied theatioglxx.dl_ and atiogl.xml files found in the extracted folder from 8.9 and pasted them over the extracted folder for 10.2. I then ran the setup file in the 10.2 folder, now I have up to date drivers for dx and old drivers for opengl and everything works great.

Glad you have this game. i saw this as a kid but couldnt played but downloaded it yesterday. i already burned it and the first 5 miutes are great the only problem is that i cant seem to get past the pandemonium part after i talk to the old guy cuz always crashes at the hallway behind him, always in that part.

Already made a topic in the game forum but i doubt it will got check in time. So i dunno if theres a way to fix this, besides it not even launch me an error message.
