Assertion failed: RenDev [File:C:\fireteam\WinDrv\Src\WinViewport.cpp] [Line: 450]

History: UWindowsViewport::OpenWindow <- UGameEngine::Init <- InitEngine



it tells me this every time I try to start the game, anyone know whats up??

[Morgan Evanar]

That its a very very buggy game right now.

Aside from that, what kind of video card do you have - thats the renderer failing to initialize.

[Marcus Telcontar]

Sounds like Windows 98, which also begs the question of machine specs as well.

[Fire Marshall Bill]

actually its XP
Intel(r) 82815 Graphics Controller

[Darth Viscera]

So basically crap video.
Need more info.

[Marcus Telcontar]

XP?

Whats the rest of the hardware?

[Morgan Evanar]

its an Intel i815 integrated video.

Try again when you have a real video card, k?

[Darth Viscera]

or go to pricewatch, lay down 40 clams and get an old (but still better) AGP card, like a radeon 7000.

[Morgan Evanar]

Ack, why bother going with an ancient card with SDR video memory.

The slowest thing you should buy is a Geforce 3 Ti200.

[Marcus Telcontar]

Your all a bunch of hardware snobs :p

[Darth Viscera]

If I were a right snob, I'd have an adequate HSF on my Athlon XP 1500+. I have a plain old retail HSF, and so right now she's probably cooking at 43C, and can barely stand to run at stock speeds. I had to underclock her to 100mhz FSB from 133 quite often when i first made her acquaintance, just to get her rolling.

Yeah, I could stand to be more snobbish.

[Morgan Evanar]

You don't exactly game, Marcus. There is a reason why I'm a "hardware snob." Its so things don't look like crap, and they don't run like crap.

[Fire Marshall Bill]

bah, ill just shell out for the best there is when i feel like playin these games

[Morgan Evanar]

Thats a rather wasteful thing to do. I'd go for bang per buck, which right now is a Radeon 8500 or a GeForce 4 Ti4200

[Lord Gue]

where ya get these things? Offline that is

[Khendon Sevon]

computer part warehouses... but I don't get stuff offline :) cheaper to get online.

(new comp. I'm building is having the Ti4600, 'cause I have the extra money to spend-a.k.a. I'm not paying for it~my dad is)

[Morgan Evanar]

Ahh, the sneaky way. I only get a video card for my birthday, and thats about $150. This year it was a Ti200... the coming year, I'm going to drop the money for something a bit nicer =]

[Darth Viscera]

I'll buy whatever happens to be in the $150-$220 price range during christmas 2002. That'll do me for another year.

[Marcus Telcontar]

Purchase order from work if I really want something.....
