Help guys. T__T Cant start game!

[zciek]

When i run the game i get the following; ''Cannot init d3d OR grf file has problem'' and the game doesnt start.

I even downloaded a new RO folder, installed AnthemRO in that folder, but it does the same.

Anyone?

(I have patched.)

Try updating your video driver!

Try updating your video driver!

Unfortunately, as i expected it didn't work.

KNOWN FIXES FOR CANNOT INIT D3D OR GRF FILE HAS PROBLEM

-Update your video driver and direct x.
-Make sure your video driver is listed in the ragnarok setup (to get to set up, go to the folder you have ro installed in and click the icon that says Setup). <= Kaypha mentioned this one.. if it's not there, install your video driver.
-Set to full screen mode.
-Lower your settings in the RO Setup (usually, this doesn't make much of a difference but I know of one case where it did).
-Be sure the resolution you're using in the RO setup is the same one you use on your computer.
-Check to see if you're using 'Direct3D HAL' in the RO Setup. If not, choose that one. If you are, choose the other.
-Make sure Remote desktop sharing isn't enabled (to do so, open up netmeeting, and under tools, go to Remote Desktop Sharing and go through the whole setup thing. After that completes, go back to tools and uncheck Remote desktop sharing to disable it). Remote Desktop has a nasty habit of sometimes not allowing other applications to use directdraw.

DRIVERS/DIRECTX

DirectX: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/directx/default.aspx
Intel Video Drivers - http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts-df/support
Nvidia Video Drivers - http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp
ATI Video Drivers - http://ati.com/support/driver.html

If none of this works, run the Directx diags and look for problems there. to run these diags, go Start => Run => type "dxdiag"

Once you get there, check out the Display tab. This will allow you to make sure directdraw and direct3d are working properly and enabled.
