Out Of Video Memory Error

shayneholl · 03-03-2003, 09:32 PM

Have it all licensed and installed. However, when I go to open the game I get:

Create Surface: Backbuffer
OUTOFVIDEOMEMORY

I click on "OK" and then get this one:

Init App
Error Init Direct Draw

Can anyone help me here? I have installed DirectX 9.0, have tried to update my video driver as well

go to the ootp5 directory and open the graphics config file and toggle the 3d setting and try again.

If you're running your desktop at 32-bit, see if switching to 16-bit helps. Also, what kind of video card do you have?

I searched far back into this forum and found the answer. I have an old monitor so had to change my graphics.ini text to say No to 3B instead of yes.

Appreciate the help though guys.
