Matrox Mystique G200 = crash?

[Felix_M_Cattus]

A question for any poor Matrox customers out there. My laptop runs TT like a peach, but my home desktop has huge problems. On the MS-supplied 'signed' drivers the game is herky-jerky to the point that I can hardly play and can't fish or play trolley games. On Matrox-supplied drivers, both the newest ones and the 'certified' ones, I BSOD with a KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED STOP error 10-15 seconds into the game. This is all in DX8 - I can't get the game to run at all in DX7 or OGL (says the video adapter won't support it).

Any of you play with this kind of hardware? I think it'd run pretty well in OpenGL if I could get the game to recognize that my video card *does* indeed support it. The OGL screen savers run snappily, as does other OpenGL stuff.

Aaaanyway, just checking to see if anyone had any input, or, I dunno, had the exact same issue but fixed it last week.

Try setting the game to Windowed mode before going into OpenGL. That will probably let it run, I assume that you have been trying to get into OpenGL while the Fullscreen mode is set.
