Troubles

Post by AAK!Slug9er »

I've been out of the Chaos seen for awhile now but I'm trying to come back.. I'm having troubles though with ut2k3.. I keep recieving this error everytime I startup ut2k3
UT2003 Build UT2003_Build_[2003-04-07_17.42]

OS: Windows 98 4.10 (Build: 67766222)
CPU: AuthenticAMD PentiumPro-class processor @ 1293 MHz with 511MB RAM
Video: NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 (4523)

Error setting display mode: CreateDevice failed (D3DERR_INVALIDCALL). Please delete your UT2003.ini file if this error prevents you from starting the game.

History: UD3DRenderDevice::UnSetRes <- CreateDevice <- UD3DRenderDevice::SetRes <- UWindowsViewport::TryRenderDevice <- UWindowsViewport::OpenWindow <- UGameEngine::Init <- InitEngine

Most of my system specs are right there.. But for some reason its not letting me run it in direct3d... I have of course deleted ut2003.ini but still doesnt work.. I've updated the game/video drivers/everything an no can do. I can get it to run in opengl but it runs like crap.. 640x480 with settings set low still runs/looks crappy. There is one thing that is odd though.. Everytime I goto dxdiag I test my direct3d (start/run/dxdiag/display tab/test direct3d) and I get this msg..
Direct3D test results: Failure at step 8 (Creating 3D Device): HRESULT = 0x80004005 (Generic failure)
My directx must be really messed up or what other possibilitys are there or what can I do to fix this problem?? All I know is that I really wanna playin some chaos :)..

Try doing that.

Ok I have fixed it.. I had to use the 43.45 nvidia drivers because directx 9 is buggy with some video cards I assume.. anyways I have it working fine now... Thx for the effort guys.. If anyone else is having this problem msg me on icq my number is 69540453/ email theaakclan@hotmail.com . I guess alot of people are having this problem with nvidia chipsets according to forums.. Time for some chaos.. Frag yah later drrrrr :)
