Nosedive 10 Posted September 11, 2009 Why is it so urgent? Please specify your graphics card. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James22 10 Posted September 11, 2009 As above - Graphics Card?? Make sure you have the latest drivers for the graphics card and March 09 build of directx - Included on DVD if you bought it that way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bulldogs 10 Posted September 11, 2009 Download the latest Directx 9 distrib, even if you're using Vista/7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nosedive 10 Posted September 11, 2009 Well for starters it sounds like his card might not even be capable of running the game Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
milucom 10 Posted September 11, 2009 This can have multiple Issues. The first is, obviously, a driver Issue. Maybe he's using an older version or a version which is not compatible with his card. The second one, like Nosedive said, is that his card is absolutely incapable of running the game. Seems like D3D is trying to execute a command which his graphics card doesn't understand. And the third one, like Bulldogs already mentioned, is to download a new DirectX 9 distribution from here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John Lemon 10 Posted September 11, 2009 Product Current Installed Driver Latest Driver Update NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 440 with AGP8X 93.71 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
milucom 10 Posted September 11, 2009 Then we have found the issues. The GeForce 4 Product line doesn't support any new pixelshaders like 2.0 and stuff. Unfortunately you have to go ahead and buy a new graphics card if you're interested in playing any newer game. ---------- Post added at 12:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:55 PM ---------- Oh and btw. If you don't have a mainboard which support PCIe, you should go ahead and think about buying a new one as AGP is not supported by anyone anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No. Your hardware is too old. Arma2 requires SM3.0 support - your MX440 doesn't even support SM1.0. You'll need new hardware. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
