Problems with new radeon drivers

Recommended Posts

I just updated my drivers for my radeon 64mb vivo to the current supported drivers 9031. Since then I can not get ofp to start up. During startup when the game goes to full screen I get this error message:

Cannot create 3d device:

Adaptor 0 (radeon 7200) fullscreen

resolution 1280X1024, format X8R8G9B8/D16, refresh 0 Hz

error 3dderr_notavailable

I have turned of w-buffer support as well as v-sync and messed with a few other direct 3d settings and nothing works. Have also tried to run the game at different resolutions, with and without T&L and still it won't start.

Is there anyone out there with a radeon that had this problem and found a solution for it? I guess I will probably just have to reinstall the old drivers, I have a feeling though that my video in won't work with the old ones though, so if I could get the new drivers to work I would be very happy.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Have you tried using Autodetect and/or resetting the refresh rate in the Flashpoint.cfg file?

Did you try to run D3D diagnostics from DxDiag tool? (Type DxDiag in Start/Run to activate this tool).

Ehm, do you own an intel cpu?

Radeons/p4 are known to be a bad combo.
