Title: Can not find graphics device.
Post by: Asbestosstar on March 14, 2017, 12:07:34 AM
I am trying to get dsl2.2 on my new laptop. I am having graphics problems. I heard it's something about drivers possibly. You guys may know more about the game then me so you may know this errror.

have you tried running it on a computer that isn't older than you

Playing RA2 on anything older than XP: Sad!
Title: Re: Can not find graphics device.
Post by: Badnik96 on March 14, 2017, 03:47:49 AM
yeah your problem is that you're running ra2 on an OS that's older than the game itself
Title: Re: Can not find graphics device.

Yeah.. windows 2000.. i think you dont have the minimum system requirements!

IN the system requirements it said Windows Millennium was supported.

The ones for stock RA2 may have, but I doubt Click and all the other DSL devs took an OS from the year 2000 into account when making the mod.

The base of the game is still probably the same.

Just any thing about the graphics? Drivers?
Title: Re: Can not find graphics device.
Post by: kix on March 14, 2017, 05:21:07 PM
Well.. you can try and find.. but the chip is so outdated.. i dont think you can find drivers for it.. it might also be that your GFX is too weak

What precise CPU does the PC have? And does it have a GPU, if so what?

Also you have to be a troll, nobody is unironically running windows me in [current year]

try disabling fullscreen in the ra2.cfg file by changing Fullscreen=1 to Fullscreen=0, i would try playing around with the other settings in it as well since you are running windows me

 tried to disable fullscreen.
And I did, But when it stated up it had the same  error.

I am still using ME.
It was a good deal for the laptop.
I will look at the other things you said Badger.

He originally listed it for 40$
but he reduced to 28.

May of just found the  problem,
I was looking for drivers, and saw nvidea stuff. I just remembered i dont have nvidea installed.
Could this be the problem?
I will try, it says they are a driver company.

Just persuade your mom or dad to get a new bleeping computer, or smash your piggy bank to do so if you even have the money, and after you do so, I'd suggest you do this to your old computer:  :vista:

Its not the OS, its the graphics.
The game was designed in the same era.

Just get a new computer instead of labouring through this. It's honestly the best thing you could do.

No, I want this laptop.

I will dig into more research.

Do you know what adapter is required for ra2.?

Gives us the specific CPU model, or we can't help you at all. We don't even know if it meets the minimum system requirements

Nobody is going to help you for a OS that's 17 years old. Windows XP Service Pack 3 is the correct OS to use for RA2. Vista and Win 7 are acceptable alternatives for playing RA2. ME is not better than 10. That's just a fact. The game was made in 2003, XP was released in 2001. ME is inferior to XP.

We are telling you precisely that what you are doing is wrong and will not work. If you aren't going to listen to us, stop asking for help.

It's almost as if he's always been a troll. The stuff he's done on ARC and here has been so retarded that anyone who could have done this unironically wouldn't be allowed to go online without guardian supervision and they would have revoked his online access as soon as they found out that we were sh** talking him big time and that he was making a right tit of himself.

The laptop prolly uses a weak gfx.. prolly under the RA2 requirement (RA2 needs 16 mb of vram, this thing has prolly 8 or so-cuz of the celeron).. i am 100% sure!

Celeron in above PII which is the minimum.

Post by: Badger on March 16, 2017, 06:03:37 PM
what. model. of. celeron.

It's like you're saying "oh it has an i3". It could be an i3 released this year or an i3 released 7 years ago. Give us the bloody specific model number, either of the CPU or the laptop.

My mom has 2 newer laptops 1 XP one 7 which dont work so i may be able to get some parts from them.

Sell the ME laptop for more than 26 bucks. Get your mom's XP laptop fixed. Play RA2 on the XP laptop.

Post by: Asbestosstar on March 18, 2017, 11:27:36 AM
I will just use my DESktop for RA2.
The ME is for other things to.
THe XP one costs too much to repair.
I will just do UI in ME.
