Unable to Create 3D Device!

[Guest Skeletal_Lord]

First Fatal Error is

Unable to create 3D Device

followed by a Microsoft Visual c++ Runtime Library window saying...

...Runtime Error!

Program: C:/Westwood/Emperor/Games.EXE

abnormal program termination

anyone else happen across something like this? oops! I have a Voodoo3 3000 AGP video card. Not for long however. Still, Direct8 installed, aw heck. Anyone?

[Guest Skeletal_Lord]

I downloaded the latest driver for the Voodoo card, reinstalled DirectX8 and still that damn "Unable to create 3D Device"!

Have you tried WW's tech support pages? You can email them or check through the list and see if it has been answered before for other people.

[Guest Skeletal_Lord]

Yup. Downloaded my card's latest driver, reinstalled DirectX8, added -C to my target line, nothing, nada, null.

Almost looks like Dune doesn't support Voodoo3's?

[Guest zopak]

same behaviour with ELSA Erasor X :(

didn't find a solution yet...

[Gobalopper]

Well I have a similar problem, the game loads but it crashes/reboots way too often. I have the latest drivers etc but it doesn't seem to help. I think there was some threads about the voodoo 3 on the official boards, you might want to look there. Just do a search and you should find it. Haven't heard anything about your card though zopak.

[Guest Skeletal_Lord]

Been there. Looks like a huge problem too. No word from Westwood, 3dfx.com just went off-line (taking thier drivers with them). Only thing I can say..."nutbunnies".

[Guest Draken]

Well im not sure the game supports Glide..

Wich means your voodoo card is like useless..

Why o why couldent WW used OpenGL insted of D3D...

I rember the times when the programers could program..

[prismtank]

reinstall the Runtime librarys manually from the CDrom.

I had a Voodoo 5500 up until 2 months ago so I have all the requisite drivers (Beta as well) if anyone requires them I'll happily transfer via ICQ.

Cheers

[Guest Skeletal_Lord]

Hey! Those 1.05 drivers really work! Um, if anyone is looking for them, try Westwood's message boards. There should be an address around somewhere. And thanks people.

Ok try http://www.voodoofiles.com/ and if the latest ones don't work some people have said getting v1.05 works.

[Guest Shocktrooper]

How about trying www.3dfx.com instead? That is what an EA representative told me to do.
