Owesome Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 When loading the Kickstarter demo, I get the following error message when clicking either "quick battle" or "full demo". "Failed creating the Direct3D device." (Yes I typed the wrong error message into the title of the thread) Running the game at 1024x768 resolution with anti-ailiasing on or off. I'm running a Pentium 4 2.8ghz with 1.5gb of RAM, with a NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 (128mb I *think*). Any help? Or is the real solution to burn my computer with fire and get a new one?

IceVamp Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 How long since you updated your gfx card drivers? And you should definitely start planning a bonfire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzles Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Bonfire. But make sure you update your graphics drivers AND update DirectX first before that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owesome Posted May 12, 2012 Author Share Posted May 12, 2012 Downloaded new drivers, and double checked - I'm running DirectX9.0c, which is the last version released for XP. Still having the same problem. On the other hand, having the proper drivers has fixed a couple of other games. So, that's something! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzles Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 I suspect this is down to how old your graphic card is. It's ancient after all, nearly 10 years old and it was a budget card then. It's probably not got enough onboard memory (hence the failure to create D3D device). I don't know if XP is actually officially supported either considering it's been surpassed by two, soon to be three, replacements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, kind of thought that would be the case; this bag of bones is still limping along from several years ago. XP is still a pretty popular/wide spread OS though, so for selfish reasons I would love for it to be supported. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gauddlike Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Have you tried to download it again? There seems to be a few issues around corrupted downloads, might be worth trying another mirror. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
