Curse

ok, i don't have a machine on hand to test this myself, so you're gonna be the guinea pig.

with the three files inside your GW folder, open config_DX.ini in notepad. once you've done that, find the lines ForceSoftwareTnL=0 and Forcezb=0, and change the zeros to 1's.

this might make no difference at all (since i can't test it), or it might make your game look very ugly. of course, if we're lucky, this will allow you to play with no hit to picture quality. make sure to set the shader quality in game to "low".

This is cool, thanks moriz. Now my 2nd comp can run GW well too.

Just a question, is modifying the dll or something allowed? Won't it cause any problems? ty.

moriz · Jan 23, 2010, 06:32 PM // 18:32

don't ever touch the .dll file; only modify the .ini file.

TY SO MUCH FOR THIS FIX! i just bought a new pc and i was getting so angry that i just spent all this money and i cant play gw on it like my old busted 2003 pc could LOL. i have already ordered a new graphics card out of frustration but i had a character stuck in central transfer chamber

as soon as i reloaded the game i could already tell the difference this fix is amazing you did a great job making it TY AGAIN!

glad i could help, though i really didn't "make" anything. i just cobbled together a bunch of fixes that are already in place, and made it less intrusive.

btw, i need a better place to host this thing. filefront will delete every upload after a month if there's "not enough downloads" for that file. judging by how it's going, it will get dropped soon unless i renew it every month, which is rather tedious.

I have the same problem keep crashing in Rata Sum, i did what u said and it doesnt work i think its cuz i have Intel(R) G33/G31 Express Chipset Family, do u know how to fix for that?

moriz · Mar 15, 2010, 11:02 PM // 23:02

so you load into the game, and there's no change in graphics?

the fix SHOULD work for you, since the G33/31 has the exact same graphic chip as the Q35.

Yellow D. Flash · Mar 16, 2010, 08:24 PM // 20:24

nope i put them in guild wars file and another file in guild wars called "screen". I really need this fixed cuz 2 of my character is stuck in Rata Sum and I keep crashing trying to log into them.

moriz · Mar 16, 2010, 08:32 PM // 20:32

where exactly did you copy the three files? you need to copy them into "C:\Program Files\Guild Wars", assuming that's where you installed GW. don't copy them into the Guild Wars folder in "C:\Users\(whatever your username is)", since that's not where GW is installed.

omg thx so much it worked

moriz · Mar 17, 2010, 01:51 AM // 01:51

i've updated the installation instructions so it's less vague.

Hi moriz, thx for doinh this,however i have some problems i dowloaded the file then copied them all into the gw icon now my game cannot connect to arenanet. I only did this as a alternative to 3danalyse which used to work well 6 months ago but now is terrible. Help is much appreciated=)

moriz · May 19, 2010, 03:17 AM // 03:17

you are supposed to copy the files to the guild wars installation folder, not the icon. it's usually in C:\program files\guild wars.

also keep in mind: this IS basically 3danalyze, just with the user interface removed.

multicoloured sin · May 20, 2010, 07:26 PM // 19:26

Ok cheers i am using 3d analyze atm and it does run the places that i previously could not access, so it does its job =) but however the quality is terrible and colours are almost black in some areas i was just wondering is there any alterations for this?

multicoloured sin · May 21, 2010, 04:34 PM // 16:34

hi um sorry one more thing when i run 3d analyze my internet connection seems to go off .

moriz · May 21, 2010, 09:30 PM // 21:30

3danalyze doesn't affect internet connection in any way, so it has to be something else.

does your computer use intel GMA 3100 integrated graphics? if not, this fix won't work properly.

multicoloured sin · May 30, 2010, 03:22 PM // 15:22

Ok i checked by graphics card and i have the same as chaos warrior zane ( the guy who posted earlier in this thread) and your right the internet connection was something else.

My problem is that I dont really understand how to carry out this fix sorry lol terrible at technology. Would appreciate any help =)
