Larian Studios Forums Divine Divinity (English) Technical Problems Game Screwed up!

Hi,

Try to see how the game runs when you uninstall DirectX 9 and install DirectX 8.

Thanks.

Yeah that is the best idea. I did the same thing and I also have XP and Directx 9a. The game runs perfect with Dierectx 8.

Also try to set the game in only «software» in the begining. With this setting I run the game and my anti-virus at the same time... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />

Yeah I know I shouldn´t do that.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

i really wish Directx would come up with a removal program...
it's almost impossible to revert to a previous version of Dx
without, re-doing the whole computer! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" /> True? or Not? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />

ok well i might have targeted the problem can some one send me these files

Larian.bik
kz.bik
cdv.bik
objects.000
scene1.bik
scene2.bik

im missing these files and when i go to extract them i keep geting some kinda error with numbers and junk >_> but if some one can send me these files it will probably fix my problem <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/stupid.gif" alt="" />

i forgot to add my email is cyrus583@yahoo.com

oh how do i put that picture on the side like that O.o

You should just be able to copy the items.000 file from the game disk '<CD-ROM>:\disc3\static' folder into the '..\Divine Divinity\Run\static' folder, then right click on the file in Explorer, select Properties and clear the read-only attribute.

The 5 *.bik files are not needed, and are not copied to the hard drive by the installer.


PS check the sticky topic Choose your avatar! in the About this website forum.

i cant move any of the files it keeps saying

Cannot copy objects: the parameter is incorrect

Strange... were you trying to move or copy? You can only copy off a CD, but it should not give that error if you try moving.

I emailed you the objects.000 file.

Well I did something else. I went to control panel, I completelly removed directx and then reinstalled a previous version.

Did I messed up? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ouch.gif" alt="" />

DD is runing though.

raze i got the file and put it where its post to go but still get read errors i know its those files i put becouse the files are loading screen and such i have no loading screens when i go into the game

Did you install Divinity and patch from an account with administrative privileges? Are you playing on a restricted account that might not have read/write access?
Did you try running a ScanDisk? Right click on the drive in Explorer, select properties, then in the Tools tab there should be a 'check now' button in the 'Error-checking status' section.
Did you try the file verification method described in the post Troubleshooting and Manual Install Procedure?

does any one have AIM if u do tell me your IDs this would maybe be easyer if the talkin was not takin so long <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />
