As for your problem I rarley like to blame anything on a vid card, but this is an exception unfortunatley. I have the same card and cannot get past the first screen, I am actually gonna go right now and install on my 2k dual boot and see if any luck as I had successfully forgot about this game, until your reminded me of how much I wanna try it. :angry:
However i have been on a incredible amount of pages/forums regarding this game and the one commanilaty was the geforce 4 MX 440 64MB card. Unfortunatley.
I will let ya know if anything is diffrent on my 2k machine, if not I may even put my old ati card back in and see what happens. I was so happy that I forgot about this game cuz it my one failure. :angry: :angry:
tanx. i'll be witin for ur reply if u get anythin new
cuz i really wann finish this game, and it sux having it go slowly
I am on my 2k machine installing right now, i will let you know in about 15-20 mins cuz I have not even installed my mouse on this OS yet. I really do not wanna get obsessed with this game again. So angry, I threw my keyboard, across my apartment.
if u find anythin can u email me at [email protected]

Well no luck on the 2k box, so back to XP. However this is my new favorite game company, seems that in order to run it you need a codec pack that is not included with the game and it costs 15$. Good thing there is kazaa, try it out, if using XP
Indeo XP codec pack
BTW all responses are submitted to the board for the good of the board.
EDIT: well I just tried everything over again - still crashes after all the intros, when the game is loading, the screen with picture of the gun. Just incase anyone else can think of anything here is a point form of what I have tried. I have done this in every order immaginable. BTW i originally got this from direct connect.
-Patched to 1.1
- Updated vid card drivers - I have used pretty much every one to no sucess.
- Updated sound card drivers - again multiple versions.
- Installed above mentioned codec.
- Tried every version of direct X from 8.1 to 9b - currently using 9b
- I have tried with my old ati rage 32MB i think but cannot remember so i will try again.
- I even have tried diffrent mice, as some games would not start with my old optical mousr, so went back to dirty old corded.
- I have even tried on a fresh format, nothing else installed stil no luck.
Specs
p4 2.0
768DDR ram
Geforce 4 MX440 64MBDDR
Creative live value sound card (peice I know)
That is all I guess. I suppose it could be a corrupt download, but I really do not think so. No errors on install.
:ph34r: Hi, I don't know if the problems lie with your computers, because I've played Mafia and finished it like months ago and I don't own such a big computer. The computer I've played it on has:
PIII 800Mhz
256 MB ram
Rage Fury Pro/ Xpert 2000 pro graphics card and
onboard sound (VIA Audio PCI controller)
So, it's not a really big machine and I had problems with my video too. At least in the beginning. It was like I could see through walls, couldn't see other items that I had to pick up, and so on. After some searching I found a solution that worked for me. Go to setup of the mafia game, open the expert settings, disable w-buffer, save and exit and try the game. It worked perfectly for me, so give it a try.

And of course use the latest drivers for your graphics card. :)
