Can't run Guild Wars anymore after Nightfall
Unable to initalize 3D output. Please verify that you have installed DirectX 8 and updated video driver.
Click the URL below to open a web page with more information http://www.guildwars.com/support/en-...ationerror.php I have DirectX 8 and my video driver is updated. All of the this happened after my first session of Nightfall, if that has anything to do with it. |

wuts ur video card?
i have a similar prob... i use a radeon 7500 (dx7 card) gw ran fine (choppy...but at least it played) but after the big update, my game always freezes and my pc reboots im 99% sure its my vid card... they upped the system minimum requirements for nightfall... the thing that sux is that i dun even have nightfall... i cant even play prophecies or factions anymore, cus the update effects the whole game, not jus nightfall users one last thing...u should have dx9.0c installed...not dx8 try runnin gw.exe wit -dx8 in the command line maybe u can try -noshaders too soo it should read: c:\program files\guild wars\gw.exe -dx8 -noshaders |

I am having a similar issue, when Guild wars starts up I start lagging bad ever since the update, and when I go into a mission it just freezes the game, and I have to restart the computer. I already tried un-installed GW and then disabling my anti virus software, installing it again and reboot the computer, and the same thing still happens and I know its not my network because I can play other on line games without a problem. Only happens with GW after the update. When it freezes I wait for it to kick me out or give me some kind of error code but nothing happens, I am just frozen and I know I have a great computer to run this game, here is my spec list.
-Pentium 4 CPU 2.93GHz -1.00GB of RAM -Nividia Gforce 7900 GTOC 256MB GDDR3 (not over clocked) and core running temperature is at 32 degrees. -113 GB of free space left on my C: drive -Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition version 2002 -Service Pack 2 -Direct X 9.0C -broad band test (I am on cable) after five tests the average download rate is at 5.01 MB per sec and upload at 750k. I lowered the graphics to the lowest possible settings on everything and I have the latest driver installed for my video card so I don't know what else I can do to get it to work. Last step would be to defrag my drive but I still don't think that will solve my problem as I do it periodically. Can anyone think of why this is happening? Could it still be on my end or on GW's end? I would really like to play this game again. |
