Issue with my ancient graphics card.

from Sins Forums

Hello.

I recently purchased a copy of Sin. Installation on my Windows XP desktop went well. The problem I am having, and I believe it to be my graphics card, is the gameplay. I am using an NVIDIA GeForce2 MX (yeah I know) and I think that is the problem. The cinimatics play fine, but the gameplay is horrid. The background is completely black, occasionally strange gray shapes flicker on the screen, etc. It's really hard to see what's going on.. I can't see ships/planets/or anything.

Besides buying a new card, is there anything I can do to increase performance?

This is for GeForce 4 MX cards, but as a GF2 is basically the same thing (but slower), it's worth a shot. Your performance is liable to be pretty atrocious and likely unplayable, though.

Try the workaround described in reply #2 of this thread if you want to try and get textures working without buying a new video card.
