grf problem..

[impish]

I just downloaded the anthem server onto my laptop and everything went perfectly until i tried to click it open. It doesn't let me open the game. It just says, "cannot init d3d OR grf fil has problem"... what do i do now..

Go into C:/Program Files/Gravity/RO/ (or where ever you installed)
And look for a file called setup.exe
Run that

*Switch to your graphics card (Intel 828 Integrated, ATI Radeon, etc), or switch to Direct3D, OpenGL if your graphics card is selected
*Switch from fullscreen to windowed, of if you're in windowed already, switch to fullscreen
*Don't use widescreen resolutions. Only use normal screen modes such as 640x480, 800x600, and 1024x768

;O Another new GM.
Anyway, my friend is having the same problems so I'll just show him this thread. Thanks.

i opened the setup, but the two drop boxes where you choose the resolution are blank! i think i accidentally did something wrong. -_-

Your drivers are more than likely corrupt.

Could you tell me what graphics card you use?

i really have no idea! lol.. i'm really bad at understanding computers. I downloaded it on my macbook pro, but since i installed fusion, i was able to put in windows xp. from there, i just downloaded anthemro.

I'm not very familiar with macs, however, based off of this thread

It appears the best solution is to use boot camp.

[impish]

would it be necessary to use bootcamp when i already installed in through fusion? it worked when downloading anthem, but the grf just didnt work.


ahh, i just checked by running dxdiag and found out that i dont have the d3d acceleration, nor agp texture acceleration available. uh oh?


I got it running on the mac    i just used parallels instead of bootcamp. thanks!
