inbredhill Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 When I start xenocide i get the following exception error: Exception: Could not find a direct3d device that has a direct3d9-level driver and supports pixel shader 1.1 or greater.StackTrace:at microsoft.xna.framework.graphicasdvicemanager.checkforavilablesupportedhardware( at microsoft.xna.framework.graphicasdvicemanager.changedevice(boolean forcecreate)at microsoft.xna.framework.graphicasdvicemanager.microsoft.xna.framkework.igraphicsvicemanager.createdevice()atmicrosoft.xna.framkework.game.run()at projectxenocide.program.main() in c:\users\jason\documents\xenocide svn\xenoxna\xenocide\source\program.cs:line:44 Laptop is a toshiba satellite a65-s1069 with xp pro and a radeon mobility 7000 igp with the latest drivers.

kafros Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 Exception: Could not find a direct3d device that has a direct3d9-level driver and supports pixel shader 1.1 or greater. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radeon_R100#R...s_pixel_shaders R100-based GPUs have programmable shading capability in their pipelines; however, the chips are not flexible enough to support the Microsoft Direct3D specification for Pixel Shader 1.1. Your graphics card doesn't meet the requirements, sorry DX8 vertex shaders can be emulated. The existing nVidia drivers should do italready - the fact HL2 runs is indicative of that. As far as I know, pixel shaders cannot be emulated without incurring massivepenalties in performance or quality. Upgradability has historically been a weak point for laptops (and to alesser extent, SFF chassis). Just something you'll have to live with. You could try using 3dAnalyze (tricks the game into thinking your hardware supports such features) and see if the game loads for you, but I guess you won't be able to see anything on the globe... http://www.3dfxzone.it/dir/tools/3d_analyze/download/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marbolge Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 (edited) I get a similar exception but a little different Exception: The type initializer for 'Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics.GraphicsAdapter' Threw an exception.StackTrace:at Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics.GraphicsAdapter.getAdapters()at Microsoft.Xna.Framework.GraphicsDeviceManager.CheckForAvailableSupportedHardware)at Microsoft.Xna.Framework.GraphicsDeviceManager.ChangeDevice(Boolean forceCreate)at Microsoft.Xna.Framework.GraphicsDeviceManager.Microsoft.Xna.Framework.IGraphicsDviceManager.CreateDevice()at Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Game.Run()at ProjectXenocide.Program.Main() in C:\Users\Jasin\Documents\Xenocide SVN\XenoXNA\Xenocide\Source\Program.cs:line 44 My card is a NVIDIA GeForce Go 6200 TE 64M / 6600 TE 128M so I thought it would work ok.

red knight Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 Are you using the standard Windows video driver or do you installed the latest version of the NVidia Drivers? GreetingsRed Knight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marbolge Posted November 18, 2007 Report Share Posted November 18, 2007 (edited) Thanks for the reply Red Knight: My driver version is 7.1.4.1 and hasn't been updated since 2005. Any recomendations on the version I need and where I can find it? Edited November 18, 2007 by marbolge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any recomendations on the version I need and where I can find it?The nVidia website might be a good place to start And the latest version is probably the best choice.

Darkhomb Posted November 18, 2007 Report Share Posted November 18, 2007 yup, and it should be able to autodetect it for you as well if you dont feel like doing the drop down menus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marbolge Posted November 22, 2007 Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 Ok, I updated my driver which NVIDIA told me I had to do through Toshiba, who made the laptop, but I still have the same problem. Anything more I can do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[dteviot] Posted November 22, 2007 Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 Ok, I updated my driver which NVIDIA told me I had to do through Toshiba, who made the laptop, but I still have the same problem. Anything more I can do?OK, Googling for "The type initializer for 'Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics.GraphicsAdapter' Threw an exception" gives a number of threads, with solutions that are essentially:1. Install/Reinstall the latest version of the XNA 1.0 Refresh Redistributables.2. Install/Reinstall the latest version of DirectX 9.0c. It needs to be the December 2006 release or newer. (Note, there are several versions of DirectX 9.0c, the December 2006 added some components that XNA needs.) Do NOT trust any version of DirectX 9.0c that was installed as part of any game, as the games usually don't install all the pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marbolge Posted November 22, 2007 Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 (edited) Ok, that was the problem, I had installed Direct X 9.0c off of a game. With the newest version I'm running. Now I just have to get the audio pack playing. I have it in the xenocide directory (xna.Xenocide.0.2.0.1740) which is located in program files, and the sound options are on in the game, but no sound.

Darkhomb Posted November 22, 2007 Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 The audio files, should be under xenocide/content/audio/ then they have their directories, music and sound etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
