Re: Weird color glitches in some games

This board has no electrolytic capactiors (well, except SMD tantalum ones, but if those go bad they do it rather spectacularly). I really don't think it's a hardware issue as it affects only so few games and everything else is fine. But in the meantime, I added a fix: I wired the case lock switch to …

Oh ok, I only issued "service smbd restart", that would explain why it still worked. Yes, it seems NetBIOS is enabled by default in Samba, you have to explicitly add the "disable netbios = yes" line to disable it. Maybe some distros do it? I just checked the distros currently installed on my HDD and …

The CPU has a heatsink that is on there solidly. A 33 MHz 486 doesn't really get very hot either way. Neither does the graphics chip or anything else. I've been running the case open with a fan blowing on it to make sure. Thing is, I can't even think of a mechanism that would cause this. If there …

Sorry, wrong again. :D http://oldpcstuff.byethost7.com/forum/sambawfw311_2.jpg Here's what I did: 1. Install WfW (network card is autodetected) 2. Install TCP32 3. Remove all protocols except TCP/IP 4. Setup TCP/IP, select DHCP 5. Enter net usershare [...] in Linux shell 6. Open Windows File Manager …

As per the above link, starting with Windows 2000, SMB runs on TCP port 445. WfW won't be able to use that at all and requires NetBIOS over TCP/IP. Oh my god, I didn't know that ... good thing my WfW 3.11 didn't read that link and continues to work flawlessly with Samba over TCP/IP without any …

What about your monitor? Can you replace it by another one to check whether the problems disappear? Pics are from a CRT, but I just tried an LCD monitor (different VGA cable too), no difference. So it's not the graphics card. It's not the monitor. It does have something to do with system/CPU speed. …

You have TCP32 installed in WfW, right? You're not trying to mess around with NetBEUI? I can attest that with Linux and the other way around, it's extremely simple. On the Linux machine just run: net usershare add shared /home/ /shared/ shared Everyone:F guest_ok=y Then assign a drive letter in …

OK, now it gets weird: I put a Tseng ET4000/W32 VGA card in the computer (which was surprisingly hassle free: just put in the card and the onboard VGA gets automatically disabled), and guess what? The exact same symptoms! What the deuce? What could be causing this? Can anyone please try the above …

A hardware problem was my first thought as well. But then why would all the other games work flawlessly? Also, Windows 3.11 works fine in 800x600 and 32k colors ... What's kinda suspicious is that the affected games are from 1992 and older. Especially, Comanche works fine after the patch. Maybe some …

Weird color glitches in some games

Posted on 2017-02-26, 23:01

I noticed some weird color glitches in a few games. The games so far are: Midwinter 1 and 2, Civilization 1 (tried rev. 1 and rev. 5), Comanche Maximum Overkill. Screenshots: http://oldpcstuff.byethost7.com/forum/glitch1.jpg http://oldpcstuff.byethost7.com/forum/glitch2.jpg http://oldpcstuff. …
