Hi Steve not to be rude I'm getting kinda mad no driver fix for this game pass 3months I had no luck running the game with 7.12 8.1 8.2 at all. It loads then crashes to the desktop. I allready submit a report about this very issue there alot trucker fans of haulin game. Even though I don't drive a truck in real life but I love the game.

Please please Terry fix this for me asp. If not if not fix next month when summer roads around I'm switching to Nvidia side I mean it. With my next new computer I'm going with nvidia allready. I want see new drivers with working haulin game if you do that then I be very please fix the game. Like I said there 3 people here in forum who really cares about the haulin game. And there alots at TruckPol site. I'm giving heads up as a freind but if I don't see any fix by next summer roads around when I get my new computer I'm going switch to nvidia thats how I feel allready.

Did they break OpenGL again?

CATALYSTCATCHER

Does it work OK in D3D? If so, why can't you use that?

BTW: I don't follow every thread so perhaps you could provide a more detailed description of what happens. (I don't see all the feedback either.)

I hope you can enjoy your new system when you get it, regardless which graphics you choose.

Thanks

Robert McClelland

No it doesn't work with d3d at all only supports opengl and Menu loads fine but soon done loading the load game it crashes to desktop download the demo version you see what I mean. I have retail version with patch.

I am looking here.
18 Wheels of Steel Haulin' - truck game for PC by SCS Software

It says D3D.

Please point me to what you are actually using? or tell me the version? I am not a mind reader. Well my wife thinks so, but she is entitled. :-)

A little more detail would be nice as well.

Thanks.

Steve. (aka CC not CM as pointed out above)

Holy shit, you know what? 18 WoSH is pretty damn addictive. :o I just tried out the demo and I'm impressed...

But I can confirm that 7.12 and 8.2 crash the game after the menu. :P

Robert McClelland

you have an agp card & a d3d issue?

oh but wait, 7.11 is after agp broke hmm


why do you need to keep updating drivers if you're on an x700? just stay with 7.11

i think the current omega 7.12s is one of the last if not the last drivers i'll get on my x800

disable/enable triple buffering in opengl
disable/enable catalyst AI in opengl

or just stick to 7.11

I got a better idea (more of a work around). Since you know that Cat 7.11s OGL driver works, you could try the old work around trick of copying the 7.11 atioglx2.dll file directly into the game directory (C:\Program Files\18 Wheels of Steel Haulin\). What will happen is that the game will use that file to render with instead of using the one in the Windows\System32 folder. That way you can install the latest drivers, yet still play that game.

Edit: I just tried it here on my main system (ATI X800XT AGP with Cat 7.12 installed), and I can confirm that it works.

Tipstaff

Actually, you were right in one of your earlier postings. It is OpenGL. Take a look at what the launcher popped up for me:



As soon as I ran the game using the Cat 7.12 atioglx2.dll file the menu was fine, but it crashed while loading into a game (starting a "New Game" to be exact). Dropped in the 7.11 atioglx2.dll file into the game folder, and sure enough I was trucking along from Albuquerque to Montreal with a load of engine parts attached to my rigs @$$.

REGENERATION

Try to use atioglx.dlls from earlier Catalyst suites. If it helps, then you can make a small .bat script. Edit: Oops, someone has already suggested it.

Robert McClelland

To CATALYSTCATCHER I got the game finaly working with new cats 8.2

CATALYSTCATCHER

Yes, the error in the OGL driver component certainly points to an OGL issue. But not being familiar with this game I am going by the game web site which indicates D3D.

Does the game allow you to choose between DX or OGL? That may provide a workaround..

Robert McClelland

nope it doesn't. I think that may be reason why I had hard time get game working 8.2 drivers. I'm glad I finaly slove it on my own.
What others need to do.
Uninstalled old.
Then boot into safe mode
Then run drivercleaner.
Then run your tuneups program and iobit avd windows one care freebee one in safe mode.
Then restarted.
Then installed new drivers it should work.
To Steve please look into that game for me from now on. It's fun
That way if there anyissue with new cats you know why it can't run later on.
I'm just glad I got working

Robert...

i recently build a new machine where the user plays this game... there are several versions out.. he's using vista x64 as well... the previous versions have nothing but issues.. but the newest version appears to work good after the most recent patch is installed.. he's currently using driver version 8.1's....
