Hi eir,

I searched everywhere for this and even the steam forums doesnt have anything similar, when starting Mafia 2 i see this



Just picture this without that blue background and just that kind of flicker, thats the result im having, i cant see anything besides that and sound.

What can i do? is my graphic card not supported? Geforce G210.
This is fucking ridicolous, i just bought this game and i have to spend time fixing it already. What more is annoying?

The only option i got in my head is to install win 7 *dont know if this will work tho* in plox and finish it and then go back.. i dunno..

Im just checking for solutions first!

Check the beta drivers, i have had that help from time to time.

Or it still might be your drivers, i know nvidia fails that way from time to time and it might be a week or 2 before an update to fix it comes up.

Will do spartan, never heard of beta drivers.
But i will check, taking the help i can get!

EDIT:

Result while searching for beta driver,

An error occurred while processing your request.
Reference #97.6779d5c1.1283022804.118e292a

Sigh.. i bet it doesnt have my driver in beta at all then..

True, i had to open the site thru google, heh, ill give it some time while doing something else. But keep posting suggestions if you care!

I got the feeling im not the only one also with this shitty bug.

So, this process is long and painful and it requires a big TV so if you got that you can fix this.

Take your pc and cables, sound and everything down to TV area, set it up, you need a HDMI cable, just take it from your PS3 if you have one, adjust resolution to 1600x800 at TV at least, or less. just not less then 1024x600.

Enter mafia, adjust resolution to 1024x600, exit mafia, take pc and cables to your gaming room, set it up again and play.

THATS HOW FUCKING RETARDED 2K IS, TO MAKE IT THIS PAINFUL FOR US, WITH SMALL or REGULAR MONITORS HAVE TO DO. I want to register at their forum as yell out fuck you, but ill be kind since it just got released.

This stuff might sound easy, but it took me 50 mins to do all this shit.

Ohhwell, thought i would share IF someone with this problem would trespass this thread..

And yeah, my sentences are messed up but im writing in a hurry as i want to play mafia. Ciao.
