RO Problem on Laptop...

[DreamerP]

Today I started my RO on my Laptop but got an Error that says d3d or grf file problem...

I haven't recently edited my grf and my client worked yesterday so Idk what the real problem could be

Is this a brand new issue that you've never had before?  As in you played RO on your laptop like, the day before or something?

[DreamerP]

Yep it's never happened to me before even on my Desktop...and I was playing perfectly fine the day before on my Laptop. then I got the pop up saying init d3d or grf problem

Between the time you last played on your laptop and it worked, and the time it crashed, did you dl or install anything new?  Or a new update?

[DreamerP]

Not at all

Try checking your soundcard/video drivers, or go to set up and disable sounds, see if that helps

[DreamerP]

Neither helped

Try lowering the resolution, no fullscreen, 640x480. Run setup.exe as an administrator when using Vista or 7! If it still doesn't work, make sure all GRF files are in your AnimusRO folder: abdata.grf, rdata.grf, and sdata.grf. And the data.ini should contain:

Code: [Select]

[data]
0=abdata.grf
1=rdata.grf
2=sdata.grf

Maybe you accidentally removed or renamed one of those files yesterday.

I'm pretty sure I haven't touched my GRFs nor my Data file recently but I have changed the resolution and changed it from windowed to Full Screen. But I didn't think that would be the problem because I ran the game right after the change and it worked smoothly. But I'll try changing it back to windowed to see it that changes anything as change the resolution

Yea nothing worked and my Data file sis ok and I have all the grf files to match...

Ok now I tried running the game with just exe and not through the patcher and it worked O_O; so I guess somethings wrong with my patcher because I was able to run it before with my Patcher

What's your operating system?

Windows 7

Tried the usual stuff with disabling the user account control, right clicking on animuspatch.exe and then on "Run as administrator..." and so on already

Maybe the problem gets solved by reinstalling the conversion installer Or if you wait another 6 minutes, I can give you the link to my own small installer
