Problems with TGEA

#1 Is your graphics card compatible? TGEA has significantly higher requirements than TGE.

#2 Oh, I didn't think it would make that much of a difference - I'll try installing on another PC to see what happens. I also have the console log if that is any help from startup.

#3 Check your DirectX version. You need to have at least the June 2007 release if I remember right.

#4 Grab this as well as the June 2007 release - actually grab this first, install and test - it might be all you need.

DX Runtime Update

#5 Thanks for the info, I installed the June 2007 Direct X and I get a little further when running, now I get a Window before the crash and a message that says:

"Failed to initialize Direct 3D! Make sure you have DirectX 9 installed, and are running a video card that supports Pixel Shader 1.1."

So because I didn't get this message prior to the update, is it safe to assume I installed DirectX 9 correctly and that it is indeed my video card that is the source of these issues?

#6 Seems you don't have a dedicated 3D card, may that be the problem?

#7 Yeah, I believe this is the problem - do you have any recommendations on a good video card for this type of work?

#8 I have an Nvidia GeForce 7600 GT 256mb. It works very well for me.

#9 I have some problems when use renderFirstPerson = false; on my playerDatablock with TGEA any ideas??
how can i fix it??

#10 What sort of problem. Can you describe what happens?
