Curse

Hahahahahaaha let's see if someone can solve this, cause I'm stumped. I'm running my PC, and bros, I shit you not sometimes GW won't work and will BSOD my PC.

Here's the facts:
-I have upgraded my video card drivers to the latest version.
-I am running Windows XP SP2.
-I have upgraded DirectX to the latest version.
-I did a -repair, it didn't work.
-I did a -image, it didn't work. (still crashes, as above)
-I deleted my .dat file and did a -image since I installed from a Prophecies disk, didn't work.
-I can change any setting and the game will work, but if I set textures to low or med, the game crashes to a BSOD. High works just fine. High shadows work. High reflections work. Low/Med of the previous 2 work. The terrain can be set to low/med as well, and works in high. But changing textures to medium or low = crash to BSoD.

If I run the game with the -noshaders tag, it still crashes on low/med textures.

If I run the game with the -dx8 tag, it does not crash, however, I am running the latest version of DX9.

However, I can't run GW with Texmod and still have the -dx8 tag, and running with high textures is laggy on my PC.

Here is the crash log file:

What's your video card?

You might not have a DX9 capable card. Doesn't mean it's not compatable, just not fully DX9 functional, and something with the textures could be an issue.

But, it works in high.

On DX9.

Well let's grab your system specs then, to get that out of the way.

Could provide useful information.

According to his log he has an onboard SiS 760 chip. I dunno the specs of that but assuming from past SiS products i've used it's probably pretty bad.

That's not fully DX9 compatable.

That's probably your problem. It doesn't like something about the lower res textures.

That's completely silly then. HAI NO LOW/MED YOU DON'T SUPPORT THEM....HIGH WHICH USE MORE RAM ETC AND LOOK BETTER AND USE MORE HARDWARE? OKIE.

It probably doesn't fully support those eather, it's just not breaking on them.

Cheep hardware gets you that kind of results unfortunately.
