[resolved] FC4/graphics?

Ballistic · 07-29-2005, 02:27 AM

I just tried installing Neverwinter Nights...Installation looks like it went fine, but when I try to run the game, I get an error back that says "failed to initialize graphics". Then nothing...Terminal goes back to just waiting for me.

Sounds to me like drivers, but I don't know much about that yet.

They've got a pretty good set of instructions/FAQ on Bioware's page, but nothing about this...

FC4/Radeon 9600.....Hardware seems to detect fine, but I don't know anything about how FC would react anyways...

(Trying to learn how to install stuff the hard way...yum's too easy...figured I'd pick a "known good")
