Direct x problems

**Denny Crane!** · November 10, 2006, 01:46 PM

NVidia Geforce 6600
2.8gz AMD
1 gig of ram ddr400

My Direct3d test has failed.

Recently updated to latest NVIDIA graphics driver to try and get MTW2 to work. It did not fix the problem perhaps this is why.

Only problem is having never encountered this problem before I have no idea how to fix it.

I think u need a new graphic card

No I don't think so since I haven't encountered problems with other games.

Try using windows update

Fairly certain that is not the issue as I am using Service pack 2, I suspect this is a problem that more than one shall encounter with MTW2. At least I hope its not just me.

Roll Back drivers or download latest DirectX from Microsoft install that over what got on your system

Legionari cheers for the replies but honestly not helpful. My PC is pretty up to date and these types of issues are resolvable 99.99% of the time as I have solved them with other games. So please unless it is constructive just don't bother.

I have just encountered someone on another forum who had the same problem he suggests this:

I get the same 'you have turned up the detail past what your card can support...blah,blah' type report and it crashes out.
Rerunning the game defaults it back to a running state.
This is with a 7800GT 256mb. Have you tried reinstalling DX 9.0c? it's on the M:TW2 DVD.

I was running the 93.47 drivers (or whatever the newest are)
But decided to go back to the 84.43 which appear to be more stable. Also using Shader 1 in the game will enable you to go a bit higher in the res dept and AA/AF.
Crazy as i can crank up 1600x1200 HDR with Oblivion yet M:TW2 freaks out past 1024x768 and Shader 2 with AA/AF applied!
