Help! I can't run D3 Demo

Post by Escorter »

Hello everybody!

I have problems with Descent 3 demo 2.

It starts correctly, the main menu is perfect, but after "Prepare for Descent", it drop to the desktop. An error task appears in the taskbar, but I can't open the window and read it.

A few seconds later, the windows shows the abnormal program termination message for main.exe.

My machine:

AMD Sempron 1,3 GHz
256 Mb RAM
GeForce FX 5500

I configured everything in the launcher correctly.

Any ideas?

Update Direct X.
Update video/sound drivers.
Try re-installing D3 demo.
Try disabling sound.

Are you running it in openGL or Direct X?

Try the other.

Try the other.
lol@MERLIN

basically... try some stuff, troubleshoot it, change things, remove them and put them back. kick your box a few times... then come back. :D

Why don't you help him then? If you've got nothing to add, STFU.

Escorter, try using D3D and see if it causes you problems. Also, you could trygoing back to older video drivers.

Re: Help! I can't run D3 Demo

I have problems with Descent 3 demo 2.

It starts correctly, the main menu is perfect, but after "Prepare for Descent", it drop to the desktop. An error task appears in the taskbar, but I can't open the window and read it.

A few seconds later, the windows shows the abnormal program termination message for main.exe.

My machine:

AMD Sempron 1,3 GHz
256 Mb RAM
GeForce FX 5500

I configured everything in the launcher correctly.

Any ideas?
I get this with DirectX...

Looks like the fusion engine doesn't work on my video card.

But thanks, CDN_Merlin!

You may want to try the full version if you can get it as I've heard some people have problems with the demo but not with the full version.
