MAVs in Classic Trilogy
Posted: Sat Feb 08, 2025 10:40 pm
I decided to replay the classic trilogy on my new computer but I keep getting MAVs in TOW and RTW. TOW worked fine at first with a couple MAVs here and there, but I keep getting MAVs a few seconds after I enter "Fish In A Barrel". In RTW, it also worked fine, but then it MAVed and now it MAVs as soon as I get to the Tutorial/Classic/Deluxe/Platinum select screen.
Oddly enough, WSW works fine as far as I can see. I managed to get past "Through The Hills" without a single MAV. Maybe the games are just too old for my computer. Still, I'd like to play the classic games without having to buy the new versions.
Edit: Okay, what the heck? I changed the window settings of RTW to higher than 800x600 and it worked until I closed the window, and now it started MAVing again.
Edit 2: Fullscreen doesn't work either. I have to change it to 1280x960, 32 bit, and Fullscreen for it to not say "Unable to set graphics mode", and even then, it doesn't work.
Edit 3: Now it's MAVing in WSW too! In "Temple Ruins", all of the signs other than the one at the beginning cause a MAV.
