Larian Studios Forums Divine Divinity (English) Technical Problems Serious problems off the bat!!!

I just purchased DD and upon installing it, I installed the latest patch v1.0 for English.

Upon running the game I tried to use the config tool. Software and DirectDraw are okay, but not Direct3D (just a black screen).

I decide to run DirectDraw, created my character and after 10 mins of gameplay (inside George's room), Windows popped up a critical error on div3.exe and slash32.dll (i think) and promptly dumped me to desktop...

Specs:
WinXP Pro SP1
AMD 1800+
512MB PC2700
ATI Radeon 8500 LE 6.14.1.6307 drivers and DX9.0
Onboard C-Media 5.1 sound.

It's quite disappointing... I also read that there are problems with DD and DX9. I hope this problem will be fixed soon...

With Radeon cards, the Direct 3D test will not run, but the game itself should run fine if you check the 'Skip Test' box. Don't know about the critical error...

I wanted to do that, but if I chose Direct3D, 1024x768, Smoothing and Skip Test, the button Apply&Close (I think) remains greyed. Can I manually edit some ini file to apply my choices?

Check the Skip Test box and then click Test. No test will happen and the Apply button will activate.

Great thanks!

Now if it could just run abit more stably...

Well, following your advice, I managed to play in Direct3D. Better framerates and better still, rock stable!!!
