Hi, Radeon drivers have some problem with Direct3D9 lately, rebooting computer usually fixes it.

DO you know of anything else to try I have rebooted a couple times lol

[posila]

Hmm, in that case replace "--video-memory-usage=medium" launch option with

Code: Select all

--force-opengl

[bradk2588]

well lol still no luck I found that post about the differ setting and tried them all lol

[posila]

Can you post log with --force-opengl set?

It almost looks like you don't have graphics drivers installed. Other games work for you normally?
