Cannot create 3d Device

[Hauk 0]

Hi everyone,

I'm between a rock and a hard place when it comes to trying to get flashpoint working on my computer. Here's the problem.

I have flashpoint GOTY installed, and i keep getting the cannot create 3d thing as we'd all know, but i also have counter-strike and tes3: Morrowind installed. Now, i've been recommended to downgrade my drivers to get flashpoint working, which i'm willing to do, but are there any drivers that are compatible with all three games? I updated my drivers to get Counter-strike working, and i didn't think i'd lose my beloved flashpoint.

I have heard about the enabling the alternate depth buffer technique, and when i followed screams path to my nvidia settings i found this

nvidia settings

Here's my system specs:

CPU: 866Mhz (runs flashpoint fine)

RAM: 256MB

GFx card: GeForce 4 MX440

GFx card drivers: 71.84

OS: Windows XP Professional SP2

If there is anything else you need to know to solve the problem i'd be happy to post it!

Thanks for the help!

I can't believe you found nothing about it using the search?!

However, put '-nomap' into the application line of your OFP link, there'll be f.i. <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">C:\Whatever\Games\OperationFlashpoint\FlashpointResistance.exe -nosplash -nomap

then.

Okay here's a screenie of what you said to do

-nomap

When i played it again, it played fine for about 30 seconds froze, moved a little then quit out and then gave me that damn cannot create.

Any other options?

thanks for the help

yes.

you maybe should consider upgrading your graphics card.

also, are you using lluamax?

But i had Flashpoint working for the last 2 years fine on this computer. i honestly don't know what lluamax is, and i wish i could tell you.

You wouldn't happen to know which drivers can handle the three games in my original post would you

I'm desperate to get flashpoint working again!

Thanks for the help!

GFx card drivers: 71.84

By looking at some other thread in the troubleshooting forum, you can notice that several people have problems with 7x.xx and OFP

Downgrade your drivers, for your geforce 4 , anything between 44.03 and a 5x.xx should be very good while being compatible with the games you are mentionning.
