Applicable only for users with both Vista and the GeForce 8800 Series of Graphics Card

In order to get your game to run correctly without the Spooge Errors you were advised to alter the game file spdx9_config.

Which effectively editted the following 3 bolded lines under the Nvidia area:



configfile nvidia.txt'

; disable drivers prior to version 52.16 (previous versions have quirks with directx 9 in win98)

begin version 0x0000 0x000D
allowdevice 1
end
begin subversion 0x0000 0x0009
allowdevice 1
end

begin build 0x0000 0x1459
allowdevice 1
end


Fix >>>> To allow yourself to patch fully you must change the value of these three bold lines to 0. As demonstrated below:



configfile nvidia.txt'

; disable drivers prior to version 52.16 (previous versions have quirks with directx 9 in win98)

begin version 0x0000 0x000D
allowdevice 0
end
begin subversion 0x0000 0x0009
allowdevice 0
end

begin build 0x0000 0x1459
allowdevice 0
end

This will let the game run the patch correctly without seeing any modifications to the core game files. Remember to return the file to 'Read Only' also.

After the patch is complete, the game will run perfectly fine without the need for re-adjusting this game file.
