The Dreamcatcher website says you need
Video: 3D Video Card with 128 MB Onboard, DirectX® 9.0c Compatible with 2.0 Shaders Support (GeForce® FX 5200 or Radeon® 9600)

I don't think the Geforce 4 supports 2.0 shaders.
If the game really needs them, that's bad news.

You might try 3d analyze.
Among other things, it's supposed to emulate 2.0 shaders.

Thanks Jenny.
3d analyze didn't work unless the missing .cfg will help me out. Ugghhh... I'm ready to call this one quits!

Bahl,

You may be out of luck with the Ti4200 regards this game. There are two things to try. Obtain a more recent driver for the card and create the sublustrum.cfg file.

It turns out that all you need to create the file is use a text editor to generate a file of the needed name and paste into it the following, which starts with a blank line:
Code:
                                                        
opts_video_light = false ;                                
opts_video_vsync = true ;                                
                                                        
opts_video_brightness = 0.5 ;                           
                                                        
opts_audio_music = 0.57 ;                                
opts_audio_sound = 1 ;                                
                                                        
opts_game_nomove = false ;                                
opts_game_noidle = false ;                                
opts_game_intro  = 0 ;                                
                                                        
opts_mouse_invert     = false ;                           
opts_mouse_lefthanded = false ;                          
                                                        
opts_mouse_sensitivity = 0.5 ;                         


If the game starts, then you can adjust the Settings as desired. The above is for the lowest video settings possible.

I appreciate everyone's time and help. I've created the .cfg file but nothing seems to be working so I'm going to chalk it up to my video card.

thanks

Brenda

Well I hate leaving questions like this open-ended and I'm stubborn. As I have a Ti4200 8xAGP card I no longer use, I installed it with the nVidia 93.71 drivers (the latest recommended for that card.) Outcry would not start nor give any errors, just did nothing.

I then tried using 3DAnalyze v2.36 and almost but not nearly good enough got the game to start. There is no question that Outcry will not run with a Ti4200 video card.
