have this happened to anyone else?

[LEARZTIM]

Mmmh yeah like the picture show, this s what happens to me whenever it rain in the forest. I try lowering my graphic to the lowest and no change. Is there anyway to resolve this? oh if it help i play in a Toshiba laptop, its a new one i bought it 2 weeks ago so its not an outdated one.

[Sizustar]

Update graphic card driver, Direct x.

[Lostbob117]

Update graphic card driver, Direct x.

This you want to download the newest drivers for it. I don't know what Direct X you use so I can't link you to it.

[LEARZTIM]

ok i am gonna try that now i'll just try the newest one because i recall when i was downloading the game it did prompt me to download 1 version of it, i just can't recall which one. i'll try that now thanks ( i'll post if it help or not)

[C146 Cobra]

I've had the same issue with other PC games and it was normally either the Graphics card driver or Direct x, in a worse case senerio it could be a faulty graphics card.

Good job.
That is call the map of infinite.

Life After death.

Yes, you have reached the area that hasn't been written.

[LEARZTIM]

ok it say "Direct X has determine that a new or equivalent direct x has been installed already.No installation is necessary" when i try to get the newest direct x i can find

[Lostbob117]

ok it say "Direct X has determine that a new or equivalent direct x has been installed already.No installation is necessary" when i try to get the newest direct x i can find

What Direct X do you use?

[LEARZTIM]

direct x 9.0

[Lostbob117]

direct x 9.0

What is your Graphics Card?

[LEARZTIM]

my apologies its direct x 10. and i am not sure how to see my graphics card so i am not sure if thats it- graphics processor :0x791f- ( don't laugh if i got it wrong. i am not use with computer stuff

[Fox2Tails]

Run DXDiag and look for the graphics info on that

[Lostbob117]

What he said^ how to find is

Click the Start menu on your pc than click run type in DXdiag than enter. Then go to the Display tab and tell me the graphics card name.

thats what i did , but i dont see any graphic card display i see memory, bios and others, but not graphics card, does it have some other name?This is so embarrassing, i am sorry for being so ignorant

[Fox2Tails]

Across the top are tabs marked "System", "Display", "Sound 1", "Sound 2" and "Input". Click on the one marked "Display"

[LEARZTIM]

yeah i did this is exactly what i found
Card name: ATI Radeon X1250
Manufacturer: ATI Technologies Inc.
Chip type: ATI Radeon Graphics Processor (0x791F)
DAC type: Internal DAC(400MHz)

That's the name.

Update: Yup the Shaders on there are 2.0 I believe you need 3.0 to make that error go away also it uses DirectX 9 which the game requires DirectX 10.

[LEARZTIM]

ok thanks, do you know how to upgrade to 3.0 shakers?

[Lostbob117]

ok thanks, do you know how to upgrade to 3.0 shakers?

Buying a new Graphics Card.

[Ana-Chan]

That's the name.

The game actually only requires 9. If it required 10 it wouldn't work on XP.

On Vista and newer, it still uses DirectX 9 too.

[Lostbob117]

The game actually only requires 9. If it required 10 it wouldn't work on XP.

You can use DirectX 10 on xp too.

DirectX doesn't depend on operating system it depends on your Graphics card. You can use DirectX 9 if you want to see black pixels on your clothing.

[LEARZTIM]

ok i'll do that tomorrow tomorrow after classes. i'll bear with it till then. thanks alot and thanks to everyone for helping.

[Lostbob117]

ok i'll do that tomorrow tomorrow after classes. i'll bear with it till then. thanks alot and thanks to everyone for helping.

Okay but if you don't know how to input the graphics card you should get someone who knows how to, to do it for you.

[Carillon]

Buying a new Graphics Card.

what's the best way to tell if a card has pixel 3.0/etc?

[Lostbob117]

what's the best way to tell if a card has pixel 3.0/etc?

What do you mean pixel 3.0? You mean Shaders 3.0?

[Ana-Chan]

You can use DirectX 10 on xp too.

No you can't, DirectX 10 needs to use the WDDM display model. This is not available on XP.

The only way to use it on XP would be to use emulation libraries that are available. But they aren't as good native implementation because it is 3rd party.

If you want official proof.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/hh769064(v=vs.85).aspx

Look under what Direct3D version.

Not so official, but just as informative

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Direct3D#Direct3D_10

There is the line which states.

"Windows XP does not support DirectX 10 and above."

[LEARZTIM]

yeah i'll have my brother handle it he knows those stuff. just have to wait till next week when if off duty T_T. thanks again

Oh my god, you're a moron my bro's computer which uses xp uses Shader 5.0 and DirectX 10. Please try to tell that XP cannot use DirectX 10 when I have proof it does Mr/Mrs. Professional.

[blace]

I don't want to drag myself into the whole "XP can user Directx 10+" but the system requirements states Directx 9 is needed.

Yeah but you'll have black pixels with DirectX 9.

So you are saying that Microsoft, the people who write DirectX are wrong too? Their own references say that any DirectX 10 functionality is only available for Vista and above? So now they are incorrect?

Also, have you ever checked if his computer really is using DirectX 10? The easiest way would be to use DxDiag.

If it is using DirectX 10 or above then it tells you in DxDiag. The DirectX 10 files will exist in System32 (named d3d10.dll, d3d10_1.dll d3d10_1code.dll d3d10core.dll d3d10level9.dll and maybe d3d10ref.dll d3d10sdklayers.dll and d3d10warp.dll).

Or is it the fact that you are confused about the fact that Windows XP can use a DirectX10 capable card with reduced functionality?

My bro is a computer professional I'm sure he knows what he's talking about also that is Direct3D 10 not DirectX 10. They're two different things.

[blace]

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ee416788(v=vs.85).aspx

According to that, XP cannot use DirectX10. You're brother may be using what Ana-Chan described above.

[Ana-Chan]

No they are the same thing. Direct3D is one of the major components of DirectX. This is under the title of DirectX Graphics along with Direct2D and DirectWrite these days, but previously shared that title with DirectDraw. When any graphics card says that it is DirectX version capable, it means that it is capable of hardware support of a specific Direct3D version.

And throwing around things like "xxx is a computer professional" is a lame way of trying to say "I am right" without the need for proof. Hence the reason why I don't even bother with that.

[Lostbob117]

My bad I did a little research, please forgive me, the reason for black pixels is the shaders.
