Welcome.

Yes. The instructions are in the first post in this thread.

Here's an older thread http://unityhq.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=6938 with the same issue. Compatibility mode might have fixed the issue, but the original poster never replied. A Google search on "interfaceresmgr" showed various solutions, from updating the sound card drivers to making sure you have a TnL-enabled video card. Unless you have a really old computer or very basic integrated graphics chip, TnL should be available. That said, make sure your video drivers are up to date as the game could be trying to run the graphics is software mode. :/

The 3rd party app, Nvidia Profile Inspector http://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/NVIDIA_Profile_Inspector, might be a possible work around for the crashes. I haven't used it myself, so I can only say use at your own risk.

You might try going into the Nvidia control panel, adding Lithtech.exe under Manage 3D settings -> Program Settings, and setting Monitor Technology to Fixed Refresh. (I left all the other settings at their defaults.) Nolf 1 does tend to have problems when it is running over 60fps, so it could be a possible issue.I did have an additional problem with the game because of my dual monitor setup. I know this isn't your specific issue, but I'm adding the steps I took in case they might be of use to you.Below is a screenshot of my primary monitor that sometimes happens when I launch Nolf 1. The game is actually displaying on the *second* monitor. The mouse and keyboard input, though are still happening on the first monitor. It is quite weird. I can fix it by setting compatibility mode to Windows XP SP2 (not SP3) and re-selecting my display resolution from the multiplayer launcher. (In this case 1920x1440.)If re-selecting the display from the launcher doesn't work, you can edit the autoexec.cfg in the game file to forceCompatibility mode success seems to vary from person to person. Eliteone has success with one set of options and I've had success with a different set. You might have to try different combinations to see what works best for your system. :/ It's annoying enough that I've been tempted to setup a Windows XP virtual machine just for old games.

Would you happen to be using a G-Sync monitor? I just upgraded to one and started getting the Client MFC error. Forcing G-Sync off for the Lithtech.exe program fixed the issue.
-
Do you have any mods installed? I know the LivesForever mod can cause problems with the single player game.
-
Unfortunately, I haven't tried that mod so I don't know what to suggest. Hopefully someone will be able to help out.
-
Just the one post.
-
I donated towards the total. Hopefully some others can pick up the rest.
-
If you have the CDs, does the game load that way? That is, without the No CD crack. I seem to remember that some of the No CD cracks no longer work correctly. This way we can see if it is the crack vs the game itself.
-
There should be a way to do this in the AMD drivers, but it isn't necessary to do it that way.
You can change the options in-game:
Options -> Display -> V Sync, and
Options -> Performance -> Display -> Anisotropic Filtering
I would suspect that if your video card is new in the last five years or so you can set all the options to their maximum with no problems. Run the Test Settings option and you ought to be told you can increase the settings. Such is the improvements in graphics card technologies.

Thanks.
I'm using a 980 with the latest drivers, which is close enough to your 970. I've disabled the introduction movies in the launcher and set my resolution to 1600x1200x32, if that helps. The only other option I have checked is "Always pass command line arguments to the game".
-
What kind of computer are you using? A laptop or a desktop? Integrated graphics or dedicated card?
Sorry if those are things you've already researched. I'm just trying to make sure we have a better idea of what you're working with.

There's a bug with the Nvidia drivers and Steam's in-home streaming that is supposed to be fixed with version 378.72: http://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/4405. I don't know if this issue is applicable to the original poster's situation, but it is something to conside.

Try the Multiplayer Launcher at http://unityhq.net/forums/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=78 and see if that fixes your problem.

Here's to everyone having a great new year!
See you all in Nolf and your favorite games.
-
The downloads section has them.
-
Have you tried the Nolf Compatibility Fix and the No CD patch? I've installed both and can run Nolf without problems on Windows 10 Pro 64-bit.

Weird. I just had a hard drive crash that took out most of my games. After getting a new drive and reinstalling everything is running for me.
My specs are:
I7-6700K @ 4.00GHz
16GB RAM
Geforce GTX 980
Windows 10 Pro 64-Bit
I'm wondering if it is the difference between the 16gb GeForce 1070 you have and the 4gb Geforce 980 I have? If I remember correctly, DX9 games were limited to 4GB VRAM (video RAM), so it would be plausible that DX8.1 wouldn't work with larger than 4GB VRAM cards. This is just speculation, though. All I can suggest is trying an nvidia card that has 4GB or less of VRAM. If it runs then you know it is some sort of issue with your card. (Which would suck since we're all going to be using cards like that eventually. :/)
-
I covered the shortfall.
-
Cool. Annoying that things weren't straight forward for them to work, but at least you can get on.
-
Are you using the right mod for each server. LivesForever and LivesForeverPlus aren't interchangeable in my experience.
-
Have you installed the Mouse Stutter Fix located at http://unityhq.net/forums/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=112? If you've done an OS upgrade in the past three years it is possible that the upgrade wiped out this fix.

Added bit about the maps.
Download URA's multiplayer launchers for Nolf 1 and Nolf 2, plus the LivesForever mod for Nolf 2. All three of these are featured downloads in their respective sections.(Nolf 2 has a Needed Files area that includes the maps you'll want, plus the other two Nolf 2 files.)
