[Direct 3d Issue]

from Demigod Forums

System runs demigod great on my old CRT at 1600 x 1200.

Demigod refuses to run demigod at all on my brand new samsung HD moniter at 1920 x 1080.

 

Unable to start.

Unable to create Direct 3d.

Please ensure system has latest video drives.

 

I have dx9.0c

What gives?

does it run great on your Samsung at other resolutions?

 

IINM, someone left out 19x10 resolution data in on of the beta's. maybe it hasn't been put in yet.

tried that.  Thanks for the attempt.  I intend to try deleting my preference file.  It occurs to me that 1200 pixels is larger than 1080, perhaps this is why it will not launch.

I also have this problem on my T220. But I do not understand what you mean with deleting your preference file. Can anybody tell me what to do?

Ok here is my feedback since i had the same problem.

I had no problem so far but yesterday i changed from my 19" TFT to a 22" , so my resolution changed from 1440*900 to 1680*1050

 

I tried to delete game.prefs and it didnt work.

What i did was to open this file in the notepad and add/change some lines.

 

i changed to fit my changes


primary_adapter = '1680,1050,60'  

 

i added thoses lines


                {
                    text = '1600x900(60)',
                    key = '1600,900,60'
                },
                {
                    text = '1680x1050(60)',
                    key = '1680,1050,60'
                },
                {
                    text = '1680x1050(59)',
                    key = '1680,1050,59'
                }
End of -angmar's quote

 

Thanks man! That solved my problem. I bought a T220 today and Demigod stopped working. But you fixed it!

For people having problems finding Game.prefs
I searched for "game.prefs" to find it it and opened it with notepad.
Then I changed everything as stated above.
