Dawn of War on VPR Matrix 220A5

[Guest warmonkey]

Hey there,

I've tried many things to get Dawn of war to work again - it worked with the earlier patches, but not with the latest 1.4 and 1.41 patches.

As the title says I have a VPR Matrix 220A5 with a Nvidia geforce4 420 Go video card.

I have tried:

1. The drivers here

2. Omega drivers

3. Manufacturers Drivers (They are old and out of date - Darn VPR Matrix!)

4. Detonator Drivers

When I install the other drivers and restart, it puts me in like 4bit mode, which I can only change when I unselect the "Hide modes that this monitor cannot display"

In my properties section it shows two monitors.

1. Multiple monitors on Geforce4...

2. Default monitor on Geforce4...

When I extend the view to the other monitor - #2, I can get into the Graphics Configuration Utility for Dawn of War. But it cannot test and when I launch the program it says it failed to initialize the video card.

Any ideas?

All the things seem to point to the video card and or the display/monitor settings.

I'm totally at a loss here.

Thanks,

Aaron

Hey there,

I got it figured out. I had to go in and manually set up screen resolution and refresh rates for DOW to find.

Thanks anyways,

Aaron

Hi,

you might be interested to read an (old, but stickied) thread where alot of people suffer from the 4bit problem. If you can describe your solution more precise, this might be hope for them... and the thread can be put to the 'solved cases' :)
