Well, My son gave this to me for my Birthday. Could not get it to run. I was getting an error that said, "cannot create dx9 3d device."
No one was able to help me. Forums, Bohemia, e-mails, phone calls. No good.
Update your drivers...etc..etc..
Well, drivers were the newest, and my video card has model 4 shaders, so that was not the problem. Gave up, sent game back, got money back.
Well, I've been messing around with the demo. Same thing, of course. But I wouldn't leave it alone. I really wanted this game and was always pissed off it wouldn't run. Besides! I hate mysteries! I had to solve this one.
I finally hit on it. I found a program at the Nvidea site. Driver debugger 6.5 Hmmm. What the Hell, worth a try.
Ran it. It removed my old drivers, and I don't know what else it did, but it reverted my drivers back to the old 181's. I was using the newest 191 drivers. I had already tried going back to my old drivers so I didn't think this would work, but ran the demo anyway. I'll be damned!!!!!!! Started right up!
I took a risk and put the new ones back in, figuring if that didn't work, I'll just keep the old ones. Works fine with newest drivers, now, too!
I must have had some corrupt crap that the debugger got rid of. I don't what else to think.
Anyway, driver debugger 6.5. Try it. Please tell me what happens.
