Unsupported video card!

ladefoged · 10-18-2007, 12:59 AM

when i try to log in to regnum, it comes up with this strange error :

There are three possible causes for this error:
1. Your video card is too old
2. You haven't installed the latest available drivers
3. You haven't installed the latest DirectX version

my video card can't be too old . its a nVidia Corporation NV15DDR [GeForce2 Ti] or something like that. im not sure how to check it.

but im sure its the directX that is wrong . how do i fix the problem?

I am having the same problem. Are you running Linux with the experimental Linux version of Regnum?

My graphics card is an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro

DirectX does not work on Linux as far as I know, and thus, that could easily be the problem. But, if it is a true Linux version, it really shouldn't require DirectX, correct? Thus, there should be some solution to the issue. Please advise.

Thank you.

That worked perfectly, thanks.
The link was down, so I just typed in "ati easy" in the 'search' bar. It brought up the Envy program, I downloaded it, and everything works now. Thanks lade and great job.

Happy gaming!
