Need help with Cricket 2004

[Unattainableguy]

Hi, I've installed the game and when I try to run it, I get a message saying" Error, unable to initialize." Can anyone help? Thanks

Well assuming you have a legit copy take it back to the shop and get a new one.

 

[Unattainableguy]

That's what I thought, and I installed the game later in a computer store for verification, and it worked there.

 

[aussie]

maybe its something wrong with your system then

 

[Unattainableguy]

Yes, and it's fixed now. The thing required was the latest video driver compatible with my system, which I downloaded and installed.

 

[Unattainableguy]

But the game is too slow even though I have the latest version of directX installed(9.0) as well. It takes about a min before the bowler completes his run-up. And the graphics don't look good as well when I'm playing a match.

what type of videocard do you have?

 

[Unattainableguy]

Radeon IGP 320M.

 

[cameeel]

just try updating all the drivers first

 

[Unattainableguy]

That's what I have already done to get rid of the error that wouldn't let me run the game.

what is the configuration of ur system? is it a Pentium III or IV?
how much memory do you have? Is ur graphics card a 3D accelerator card? how much video memory does it have?

 

[dinu23]

is ur computer a laptop? b'cause Radeon IGP 320M was designed mainly for laptops.
try reducing the resolution of the game and reduce the details(turn off video screens,shadows etc)

Well, Just installed Cricket 2004 since my friend gave me the CD..just wanted to give it a try.
I have a problem. My system requirements passes the ones needed to run this game but when I run this game...the game loads quickly the players come on quickly BUT when the actual game starts everything slows down....the bowler comes on to bowl almost like a slow motion replay, the batsman moves around same way, the ball cursor too moves around frame by frame...it takes ages for an over to complete but the surprise is in the Nets everything is fine. The bowler,batsman, ball cursor ..all are quicker.
Whats the problem and solution?

 

[dinu23]

reduce the detail level and turn off the video screen. that should work.

THanks buddy..it worked..after I reduced the pitch,shadow detail etc. Now I have a new problem While batting, I take a single and sometimes when I press D for another run, those batsman take off late. By that time the throw comes on and a run-out happens. Is this a bug or what?

While we are talking about cricket 2004 does anyone know if you can unlock special teams or anything on the pc version

well....maybe u're pressing D a bit too late or maybe u can't take 2 for that shot. my runouts usually occur b'cause of wrong judgement.

Well...Another problem arises..this one was also in Cricket 2002. I went to a test match with Mark Butcher in place of some R Clarke. But in the second knock Clarke was back in place of Butcher.... he he he Super sub indeed .
Now what do i do for this line-up problem?
