Probably for tech but im desperate....

[~Mobius~]

i cannot log on

what happens is i type in my username and password...then press to enter the game and i get a msg saying

"renderer creation failed"

what does this mean??


i know this is probably wrong forum but since it seems not many people visit the tech forum i thought i would put it here...move it if i did a bad thing

Ooooo I've heard this one before. I think it had something to do with your Firewall or something. But maybe not because I wasn't really paying any attention

I got this before think I just loaded up a new directx and it sorted it.

From Rightnow

First delete the user.dat file located in the \mythic\camelot folder on your hard drive. This will restore the default in-game resolution setting to 800 x 600.

Next, log into the game through the Server Selection and Character Selection screens bypassing Quick Entry ( have Quick Entry set to 'No Thank You' on the first login screen ). At the character selection screen select the in-game resolution that you would like to play at. Do not select in-game resolution you were using while receiving the 'renderer creation failed' error message.

If you wish to experiment with different in-game resolutions, feel free to do so. Simply use the above instructions to reset the default in-game resolution if you begin to receive the 'renderer creation failed' message again.

Also please be sure not to have "Voodoo-based 3D video" option used if you are not using a Voodoo graphics card. This setting can be found at the character selection screen under "Options" then by clicking on "Config Resolution".

Have you tried to alter your default bit-depth in desktop properties? Might solve, might not...

 

[Verena]

I've had this numerous times, mostly when my DAoC crashed and threw me back to my desktop.

Some of the graphic drivers haven't unloaded themselves and a reboot has always fixed this for me.

 

[~Mobius~]

oh well suprise rightnow actually helped

i had to download new gfx card drivers and get latest direct X just as they told me

thanks all,

 

[milithiel]

when i get that all i need to do is reboot
