Re: Metal Gear Solid PC

I had this game lying around but never installed it until just now. It seems to work fine on my ATI Radeon 9800 Pro with the latest Catalyst drivers (5.7). It might help that I have the Microsoft Application Compatability Toolkit 4.0 installed, although I don't see an entry for MGS in it. You're …

I'm not sure what to say, except try to use the lowest refresh rate that you can for all modes and see if it helps. You might also try installing the newest drivers for your video chip. I found these on SiS's web site: http://www.sis.com/download/agreement.php?id=38008

PSU: PSU on the bottom, eh? I've heard of weird case designs like that... Is there a case fan at the top of the case to vent the hot air then? Dust: It's not a big deal to blow the dust out of a computer once or twice a month. Only takes a couple minutes to hit the fans and heatsinks and a quick …

Make sure you're using the dynamic core. With the dynamic core I can get into the 20000+ range on cycles on my Athlon XP 3200+ Try different rendering outputs in case one is faster on your video hardware, and make sure you have the latest drivers installed (as Kippesoep said, even if you don't have …

That's a good point. The startup screen's refresh rate is probably hard-wired (fixed), probably to 60 or 70Hz. If your monitor has on-screen controls then it might be able to tell you what refresh rate you're currently running at (look for a Hz value). Also, you probably won't find any BIOS settings …

85Hz is very high, especially if you have a 17" or smaller monitor. Probably 70 or so. What monitor driver and what video card driver do you have installed? Make sure your monitor driver is at least Plug N Play and not "Default Monitor". If you can find one specifically for your monitor then that …

That's one of the earliest Doom ports I think. Try getting a more modern one like ZDoom or Doomsday or any one of a dozen others. http://www.doomworld.com/ is a good place to look for source ports.

Could be your monitor going bad, or maybe the video card is trying to use some refresh rate timings that are hard on the monitor.. Are you talking about changing resolutions in DOS or in Windows?

If you're running DOS VESA games from Windows then it's probably your Windows screensaver or some other Windows program trying to take control of your video card while it's in a VESA mode. This usually causes the type of problems you describe.

There's no such feature in the ATI drivers, but maybe there's something related in one of the tweak tools like Radlinker or ATI Tray Tools. Could also be a texel alignment issue - try using alternate texel alignment.
