Can`t run Ta3D on Windows

[Balthazar]

One of my friends experienced a constant crash.

Any ideas how to fix this?

Obviously OpenGL acceleration is missing, TA3D won't work with GDI. Anyway your friend is courageous to start a game in those conditions Even menus should run slow like hell!

[Balthazar]

Yeah, menus are really slow

What`s the cause of using GDI instead of OpenGL? Is the reason - the old hardware (videocard) or software stuff?

Another one player can`t run TA3D on NoteBook

vista 64 meet some problem in resolution.

in case of vista, I suspect driver may be the problem. I don't know much about OpenGL on vista, except that m$ didn't want to integrate it like in previous versions of windows, so it's all on the driver side now (correct me if I am wrong).

And what about my post above?

Windows vista
geforce 9650 gt 1gb

[zuzuf]

I don't know, I've read the log, there is nothing helpful in it .

Just try playing with settings (set everything to minimum, if it works, enable them one by one until it crashes again).

[Balthazar]

Thanks

Same Notebook, but now it crashes just after running of TA3D.

I guess that's the problem , video hardware/driver doesn't support 1280x1024.
Just edit ta3d.cfg and change the video settings.

Yeah, changing resolution does help. But the game crashes on texture loading stage.

[zuzuf]

nope, textures have been loaded and 3D models too, it crashed just after.

Did you try to run it with settings to minimum and only totala1.hpi and totala2.hpi ?

[Balthazar]

yep

[zuzuf]

Clear the cache, check there is enough disk space to build it, if it's not that I am running out of ideas

When no hope remains, a ral gdb backtrace could help
