I like to know if any else has issues with certain cards.

My ATI X800 died on me today. Looks like the memory got fired.

Anyway, I put in my NVIDIA GeForce 6800 Ultra DDL card and Red Eclipse locks right up right after I load a map online and offline.

Anyone have a fix for this?

Thanks,

Oh, all other games run fine.

Here's the error:

Sun Oct 20 13:40:18 2013 loaded 2560 waypoints from maps/cargo.wpt
Fatal signal 15 (Terminated)

I happen to find a fix.

Turn off shaders.

I'm hopin' for a fix thou.

On a 6800 you will probably have to turn down some settings anyway, I don't think I could ever run with shaders back when I used that card series.

I had a 6800 GT (on Windows XP) for the better part of my RE-playing. I turned down all the shaders and also did /texreduce 12. The game still ran at about 30 FPS, but it was so good I stuck around. Now I have a good PC mind you. :P

I think the one time I turned on shaders, there was an odd graphical error though I never did get a crash to the desktop. Anyway, the frame-rate will be so low it's unplayable. Turn all graphics to the minimum and type in /texreduce 12. Note that this makes textures really ugly and some maps like Biolytic unplayable as you can't tell what's ground and what's deadly poison.

I just have shaders turned off.

Other than that, it runs very well and I still get 200 fps.

Must be a Mac thing then.

Thanks again,

I don't know if this is related, but my last nvidia graphics card (integrated 6150se) would occasionally crash when loading a map with shaders enabled (not that i ever went above 20fps with them turned on haha). I somehow noticed that setting "zpass" to 0 stopped the problem. Maybe it could be worth trying that.

You could always make sure you're running the latest graphics driver release, or possibly even revert to a previous version, that can sometimes fix graphics related crashes.
