Old driver?

[konzserwas]

Contary to popular belief, Jagex does care :twss: Problem solved by sending tech querry to them

 

 

 

I have a problem using RSHD. Whenever I try to load it it says that I need to update the driver, but there isn't any driver newer than mine :shock:

 

 

 

The card is Geforce 8800GTX

 

The OS is windows xp sp2

 

The directX is 9.0c

 

The driver is forceware 175.19

 

the java is version 6 update 7

 

The browser is maxthon 2.1 (MS internet explorer based)

 

Any ideas what to do?

 

 

 

EDIT: here's what features it's missing:

 

No Multi-Texturing

 

No Extended Multi-Texturing

Can you check using FireFox, and tell us if the problem persists? :-s

Yup. I tried both firefox and windows client, no change.

 

 

 

EDIT: nooby me :D reinstalling driver fixed it

Your OpenGL support is knackered. That card is more than sufficient.

 

 

 

Here's a utility that will show you your OpenGL settings for Windows XP (here's a different utility for those of us with older operating systems).

 

 

 

I have found that if your system supports OpenGL 1.5 or higher, you can run Runescape in FS/HD mode. I got it to run FS/HD on a Windows 98/SE machine with Java 1.4.2_18, an AMD Athlon 900MHz processor, a Geforce2 GTS 64MB card and Forceware 71.84.

   GLEW Extension Info

---------------------------



GLEW version 1.5.0

Reporting capabilities of pixelformat 1

Running on a GeForce2 GTS/PCI/3DNOW! from NVIDIA Corporation

OpenGL version 1.5.3 is supported

 

 

 

If you are running higher than 71.84, then it's something else that is causing your problem. :?

 

 

 

BTW, DirectX has nothing to do with Runescape - it uses OpenGL on all platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux).

Was it a private message they sent you, or was it through the forums?

 

 

 

Could you provide us with the response they gave?

 

If it's a private message just sum it up, since revealing that information is against Tip.It rules.

 

This could be useful for anyone else with similar problems.

 

 

 

I won't lock this, since it could help people.

[konzserwas]

It was a private message, since I sent a private querry ;)

 

 

 

To sum it up they said that this no multi texturing things means that most likely my driver is either incorect or corrupt and advised me to reinstall it.

I would try reinstalling the driver if nothing else works. You do have the latest driver though. I would uninstallthe one now and the reinstall it and see if that fixes it.

 

 

 

Here is the driver for your computer jsut select one on your OS.

Windows XP(x64):

You can find more of the driver here if you run an os that wasn't up above.

pryo, are you sure this shouldn't get locked? I mean, the problem was solved 8 hours ago, and people are still coming up with solutions :twss:

 

 

 

EDIT: crazy typo :oops:

[sloter]

Still try uninstalling and reinstalling your driver as i said above.

Still try uninstalling and reinstalling your driver as i said above.

 

They already did that. That's why the solution has been found, and therefore the thread can possibly be locked safely... :
