Curse

Well when I was doing Moddok Crevice, i did it all went well and when I finish it, I get zoned to Wehhan Terraces. And poof! I get that driver thing error. I have an intergrated Video Card, I use technical terms so if you want to help me, i'm not a computer "noob". My video card is a GMA 3100 Intel, I would love help to solve this problem. My ritualist is stuck there and i can't do anything

Yes, I am aware of that bug, it is very well known with Intel Integrated Graphics chips, but I unfortunately don't know the exact hot fix for it, but I know there is one.. waiting for someone else who knows to stroll along.

If I can remember anything, I will update you.

The GMA 3100 is almost the exact same as the GMA 950, the fix for it can be applied in this case as well.

If you have the option, I would look at a discrete card ASAP. Intel never really released a working driver for this, just some amazingly bad cut and paste work. Later releases can be even worse sometimes.

I have a 1800xt 256mb waiting for me, just need to switch case. Can you please tell me what is the fix for the 950 if it's the same as the 3100.

if i remember correctly, the GMA 950 did NOT have this problem, at least with low settings.

try turning shaders to low and give it a shot. failing that, use the -noshaders switch in your GW command line to force shaders off.

hmmmmm.... with the 3100 you shouldnt get that i dont think. i know with the 85 something something something you will get that (its on my other computer but i dont know the exact number) i used 3D something. but i dont know if it works with the 3100. oh. btw. integrated cards suck. guild wars isnt supposed to support them

Banane-O-Man · Jun 21, 2008, 03:40 PM // 15:40

I did the -noshaders and lowerd the graphics, still the same problem...

Banane-O-Man · Jun 22, 2008, 04:08 AM // 04:08

I still need help

moriz · Jun 22, 2008, 12:56 PM // 12:56

are you running in directx 8 mode? those areas need dx9, and i'm pretty sure the GMA 3100 supports it.

check if you are using the -dx8 tag. if yes, remove it. also, make sure you have the latest version of dx9 (or dx10 if you have vista) installed.

Banane-O-Man · Jun 22, 2008, 01:23 PM // 13:23

I have Directx9c but on guild wars it's saying Directx 8, don't know why. I'm not using any tag, i'll try -dx9 tag.

Edit: Tried -dx9 and still same problem

You could log on from another computer, move your Rit somewhere "safe" then just avoid that area until you get your new graphics card.

Is there anyone you can trust who has a PC that you can run GW from? Don't try this from a Net café - thoroughly insecure.

you can also submit a support ticket and a dev will move you.

Lord Sojar · Jun 22, 2008, 04:06 PM // 16:06

I would be happy to move your rit for you if you need, afterwhich you can of course change your password. My credentials speak for themselves, or have a PlayNC dev move the rit.

Banane-O-Man · Jun 22, 2008, 05:01 PM // 17:01

I got a friend of mine that moved him, thanks. But I need a way to fix this, it's really getting anoying.

moriz · Jun 22, 2008, 05:51 PM // 17:51

GMA 3100 is definately dx9. GW should be using dx9, not dx8.

can you tell us your exact system specs, as well as any service packs, driver version on the GMA, and the date of your dx9 redistribution?

Banane-O-Man · Jun 22, 2008, 06:59 PM // 18:59

I have a quad core Q6600 and 4gb of ram, 500gb 32mb cache hard drive.

Banane-O-Man · Jun 22, 2008, 07:16 PM // 19:16

moriz · Jun 22, 2008, 07:19 PM // 19:19

give them a shot.

Is that an old CRT monitor running at 70Hz?

Banane-O-Man · Jun 22, 2008, 09:27 PM // 21:27

I upgraded the drivers with those 2 things, guild wars still runs on directx 8.
