Graal2k1- DirectX problem
 

I cannot get on Graal 2001 because a message pops up saying "Unsupported DirectX type or Wrong Driver!" The only way I can play is if I go into options and check the box marked "Don't use DirectX7" However, when I do this, I cannot see lighting or day/night effects. I have DirectX8 and I do not understand why Graal would not work with it. Please help me find out whats wrong or help me find a way to downgrade to DirectX7. I have tried downgrading but when I run the install for DirectX7 it says "A newer version of DirectX is already installed on this computer. Installation will not continue" Is there any way I can override that or somehow Downgrade? Please help!

you have to go into the registry and edit te version numbers for directx, or get a better video card ;)

but it ain't mah vidio card it can't be...
Now about going in and making it think I have a lower version, I thought about that, can anyone tell me how to do it?

It's done that to me before but I've always been able to get Graal to work later.

maybe you have voodoo which is supported *looks at stefan*grrr hehehe

soooo... what do I do?

Please help someone I wanna get this fixed!

lol
 

at least you don't just HALF support the infernal thing... heh

Try getting an updated version of your driver.

Dude what driver?! That's the thing it don't tell me what driver, is it video soundcard printer what?! I don't think that's it. It's gotta be Direct X 8 now surley someone can help me downgrade to DX7

No, you need a new driver for your lightbulb in the cieling. Yes, your video card's driver.

Listen, dude, I have a Voodoo3. You need to get the updated drivers for light effects to work. Even then, they move *REALLY* slow!

LOL
 

did that a couple of days before I wrote that blasted post
I'm not a fool=)
I just get half support

...You must find the driver that takes 3 hours to find, 1 hour to install, and you find out you've installed the wrong version, you call tech supprt and get to fix your whacked out monitor, you install correct version, and after 3 weeks you find out graal doesn't work even with the updated drivers....in other words: stefan is lying, updtaed drivers dont do crap for graal

Ok I went to the 3dfx site and found that the only "updated driver" they had for mah stuff I already had in the first place. People please just help me find a way to downgrade directx I'm sure it will fix it if it don't I'll silence mahself then!

Hrmm
 

Maby my card isn't good enough but it was the second most expensive thing in the store... lol.... ATI Rage 128...

Takes me 3 minutes to find the driver, around 30 minutes to download and install it, and I know I installed the right version. After 3 weeks I find out Graal works with my drivers, it just moves really really slow in window mode, and Stefan won't help the problem :(

In other words: Updated drivers work on DirectX (and therefore Graal). So there. :D

I tell you I went to www.ati.com and found my blasted card in the drivers list and updated the new driver... didn't help a bit...

i hate stefan for telling me to update my drivers

i have the same problem plz forum pm me how to downgrade safley becuase if i stuff it my dad will kill me
