Voila une astuce en anglais pour ceux qui n´ont pas accès au mode openGL et D3D dans les options d´affichage sous 2000 et XP ( j´ai ce problème avec ma ati radeon 32 sdr) :
------------------------------
In your Cataclysm folder, open the file "devstats.dat" in notepad or your favorite text editor. I don´t claim to understand everything in this file, but the asterisks appear to disable functions for video cards. Each line lists a video card and by putting a "*" in a certain column, you can disable that capability/function.
Look at the last two lines, which should be:
7B561350 C45A192C . .......*....................... . .........*..................... - ATI Rage 6 AGP ;
DA30A599 C45A192C . ............................... . .........*..................... - Radeon DDR ;
Here comes the weird part: you DON´T change the Radeon DDR line, you change the ATI Rage 6 AGP line.
This is from the post I found ( and can´t find online anymore):
"The problem for me was the first * in the first line, replace it with a . and restart, you should now have D3D as a device option. I think something similar must be happening to those who have D3D only as an option except it´s the 3rd rather then the 9th spot. See the legend at the top of the file for more info on the options. Another solution I think is to just delete the two lines altogether!"
I also found another suggestion which may have helped in some way, but didn´t enable the D3D option. It was to edit the Cataclysm.cfg file in the main Catacylsm folder and change the entry "HardwareTransformLighting" from "0" to "1". I did this, and couldn´t notice any difference. It may be faster, I don´t know. It didn´t hurt anything.
So hope this helps you. I have the plain old Radeon 32MB DDR, not the All-In-Wonder, so you may have different results. Let me know if this works.
