The Godfather Graphics Problem

[y2j826]

I just got the game GODFATHER and the problem is that when i starts to play the game the game runs but everything in the game goes in white colour, like cars, roads etc. only characters of the games are looking in coloured, anyone know how to solve the problem or where can i get the help about that ?

try following standard prcedures.like updating to latest graphics driver, updating game to latest version.then ask

The Problem is that i got intel 845G board with onboard chipset and i got latest driver i.e of year 2004, intel havent released any graphics driver after that, game run smoothly but with white models only chracter players r in coloured.

I don't think your graphics system is powerful enough to run the game well. However, you can try and find patches for the game which might fix this problem, and try and update directX. If that doesn't work, increase the amount of shared memory (that is the physical RAM that would be shared with the graphics subsystem. This is done from the system BIOS). To do this:

1. Press F2 or del (varies from system to system) while your computer is booting up to go into the BIOS.
2. Look under "advanced" settings and increase shared vram to as high as it can go. (remember to keep at least 256 MB of RAM free to run Windows properly).

This may solve your problem
You can also look under graphics settings of the game and switch off eye candy such as "trilinear filtering" and "anistropic filtering". Try to play under the lowest resolution and graphics settings.

I tried everything i can do but nothing happens, shared memory increased, swap file increased, latest driver, direct x, but there might be a some kind of tweak for that. i will put the screenshot later then u might can understand whats the exact problem is.

Try searching forums/communities dedicated to that particular game, they'll be able to help you better on this one.

searched forum sites, game tweaking sites and even godfather's official site, but nothing is helpful, many of the users got that prob with NVidia card too.

Actually, what is happening in the game is that it isn't able to load textures for the world into the memory.
things like these are generally related to less amt of vram and system ram.
also an update of game can cure this problem.

as ritwik said, try changing to lowest settings.the experiment with various filtering (like bilenear, trilenear or antroscopic filterings).many times one of these filtering type becomes incompatible with the system.

also remember that 845 is a very old graphics subsystem,with no support for anything. I don't thing it has ability to run godfather.

i know 845 is so old chipset board but GODFATHER is the game which is made to play even at low end graphics card, but problems are always there when there are games, and GEforce and Nvidia latest graphics card users even have same kinda problem so thats not fault of the 845G graphics. but mght be i can get help from other site, still searching.
