HawkEyes Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 Please check the following and its not SWG's fault: - DirectX 9 installed and installed properly. Download it again if necesary. - Videodrivers up to date? How bout other games that use D3D do they work. Try scaling down the options a bit in the launcher options a bit (lots of selectables wich should decrease stress on your board) Oh and BTW what kinda videocard is it?

Guest DarthMaulUK Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 Post your PC specs. Graphics card, Processor, Memory etc. I can take a look, and see how i can help you direct 3d is a graphics thing. Either your graphics card is old and doesnt support 3d or it just doesnt support 3d, which means you will need a new graphics card. DMUK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flame737 Posted October 10, 2003 Author Share Posted October 10, 2003 well, it worked before i redid my whole computer.(restarted windows 98) but now it just doesn't work anymore. I have Geforce 3, 500 memory, DirectX 9.b(I might have to get 9.a) and windows 98. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uberfromage Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 you really need a Gforce 4. Its what i use and i have never had any problems. And also RAM!!! lots and lots of RAM!! this game takes up SOOOOOOOOOOOOO much RAM if you can fit more RAM in your computer get some in it really does make a HUGE difference.

Guest DarthMaulUK Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 Geforce 3? which one? 32mb? 64? RAM doesnt make much of a difference. I have just over 1 gig and i crash all the time. Theres something in a computer that this game doesnt like and I havent tracked it down yet. Make sure you download the very latest drivers for your graphics card. Last nvidia release was August 13, ATi have just released new drivers this week. But if you have a 32MB card, and around 256 ram, you will need a prayer book to play. More ram certainly helps but it wont be the cause of this. DMUK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawkEyes Posted October 11, 2003 Share Posted October 11, 2003 Why windows 98?. It will work i dont doubt that but driver support in 98 is sparse since this year. I urge you to step up to XP or 2000 for that matter. Wont say it'll work but new game support is better in 2000/XP for that. at least try it...

darthfergie Posted October 12, 2003 Share Posted October 12, 2003 talk to the people in the troubleshooting chat before pressing play. They helped me out earlier when the game was screwed up on my comp. Either that or e-mail/call them. They'll take care of you a bit better than us less informed people. We can only make a guess, they can also guess, but their guess will be a bit more educated because they've doubtless had questions along the same lines before now.
