"Then it will leave after a......" ???

Reinstall your chipset drivers, graphics driver and DirectX, then reboot.

Go to Start > Run > dxdiag > Display tab and run the 2 tests. Any problems listed in the Notes box?

You have also posted on the official Rappelz forum ( link). Let us know if you get a solution from there, it might help others with the same problem.

no one answers over there, anyways sorry i meant it leaves after a bit.

Yea ill do the test. Ill post when i do

Ramezm · 04-17-2008, 12:36 PM

I did 2 tests and no problems were found

**koala** · 04-17-2008, 12:47 PM

Have you reinstalled or updated your drivers?

Ramezm · 04-17-2008, 12:48 PM

I have updated and it did something, now when i open the game at the login screen there is a background now instead of a black one... But the gray thing still happens randomly...

**koala** · 04-17-2008, 12:59 PM

You could try installing a patch from here, but it looks like your onboard graphics device is not supported by the game.

Minimum Requirements
CPU: Pentium-III 800MHz
Graphics: 128 MB 3D accelerator VGA card
RAM: 512 MB
DirectX 9.0C

Recommended Requirements
CPU: Pentium-IV 2.0GHz
Graphics: 128 MB 3D accelerator VGA card
RAM: 1024 MB
DirectX 9.0c

And its pretty laggy too, i went to my friends house, and man was it faster...

So what can i do about it

Oh and i think i pass the minimum req

its weird cause when i use to play WoW it was perfect...

**koala** · 04-18-2008, 12:42 PM

Have you installed the patch?

The game's minimum requirements are for a 128mb graphics card. You have an Intel onboard graphics system, not a card.

Go into BIOS and increase the video RAM to 128mb. This is shared system RAM, so might not work if the game needs the more advanced features of a dedicated graphics card.

Ramezm · 04-18-2008, 02:11 PM

Which patch do i need to install.

Sorry but whats BIOS

oh, is it in dxdiag?

**koala** · 04-18-2008, 02:36 PM

I'm not saying the patch will definitely make the game work. It's possible that your onboard graphics device is not supported by the game.

Link to patches - http://rappelz.gpotato.com/download/index.php

Check which version of Rappelz you've got, and then select the appropriate patch from the list.

Is this the driver you updated to? http://downloadcenter.intel.com/deta...ition&lang=eng

To see the BIOS, keep tapping the Delete key at startup just after pressing the power on switch. Find the setting for shared video memory (or UMA Frame Buffer Size) and change it to 128mb. Save settings (very important) and then exit. The computer will reboot and Windows will start.

Ramezm · 04-18-2008, 02:39 PM

alright, thank you very much, there was a patch like 2 days ago and i got it so im pretty sure i got the newest one.

Ill try it when i get home, right now im on my laptop somewhere, but again thank you very much Koala, sorry just gotta ask u a question, would 128 be the best for me?

Ramezm · 04-18-2008, 02:44 PM

oh and by the way that is the one i downloaded

**koala** · 04-18-2008, 02:48 PM

128mb is the minimum required by the game, so don't go any lower than this.

If you go any higher then you're taking vital RAM away from Windows. With only 512mb RAM installed, there's not much to spare, so 128mb is the best option.

I still don't think it will work without a proper graphics card, but hoping to be pleasantly surprised. Good luck

Ramezm · 04-18-2008, 02:50 PM

:D

Its wierd though, its soo random, sometimes its perfect, then all of a sudden.....

Why does it do that?

Oh and when i updated it there was a big diffrence though

**koala** · 04-18-2008, 02:54 PM

When games work fine for a few minutes and then start developing artifacts or cause the screen to black out, it's usually a power or heat problem, but can also be related to old/faulty drivers or damaged/insufficient RAM, among other things.

Ramezm · 04-18-2008, 02:57 PM

alright thank you veryy much for these quick replys, ill get back to you when i try it :D

Will i be able to fix it if its a power or heat problem
