Patch 1.50 + ATI Radeon 9250

[Silversurfer]

I cant seem to run the game with patch 1.50 with my video card ATI Radeon 9250. After the loading cinamatics screen the game minimizes and closes and no error message appears. I believe its the similar problem i had in the previous patchs. The Seafoam, sea.dll, island.dll, if i delete these 3 files, the game will work, but will crash again when i try to use the ship. I only have 1.50 installed, as i reinstalled the game many times and the patch. This game does not support ATI Radeon 9250 series i believe. I just wanted confirmation that this has not been fixed because i am unable to play even with the DVD in my drive with the 1.50 patch. The game minimizes and closes before even the menu starts. I have latest drivers, since ATI does not make any new updates for old cards. I have Directx9 installed and have updated my hardware to the latest versions from ASUS. Maybe in the future patchs, the problem with ATI Radeon 9250 will be fixed perhaps. Its really sad, spending bucks on something that doesnt work, friend of mine told me they fixed the 9200 series issues, looks like they havent. What a waste.. Pitty. Anyways, if anyone has any solutions to this, please let me know. My game supports pixel shader vertex shader 1.1 and 1.4. Literally speaking Hardware T & L on the ship is what seems to cause the problem, but that should have been addressed in 1.50. I also went to the extent of making the game work but didnt find a solution, i used 3d-analyze to address the T & L issues myself, but the game still didnt work, i tried all the supermods with 1.5, game doesnt work, same old garbage minimize and close problem. Other then that my video card can handle the game. PS: I cant run the game at all, i was shocked, 1.50 should have addressed my video cards issues!

I think people with 9200s are told that they can go buy a new card if they want to play the game - probably the same with your 9250... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />

Or you could just use 1.42. I have the same card and it works with that patch..for some odd reason.
