Graphical demands of 1.28

Post by **Moggy** » Mon Jun 30, 2008 9:40 pm

I can't get 1.28 to run in 1280 x 1024.

I get a message telling me my video card can't cope.

This is on my old W98 system with the Matrox G400.

Runs all other versions of EAW at that resolution without complaint.

Anyone any ideas?

Hello,

Not sure about this one .. just a guess .. what DirectX version you use ?

Maybe it's some limitations coming from the D3D.dll .. or ...
Just a shoot in the dark

What the result in glide(with the glide wrapper) ?

Regards.

Gus.

DX8 on the old W98 machine.

Is it significant?

DX9 is much faster then DX8, so you should upgrade.

The only thing that worries me about that is whether the drivers for the Matrox G400 are okay with DX9

I found a post on the web that your card will NOT work with DX9
