Renderer Creation failed since today
Renderer Creation failed since today
I haven't spotted a post about this on this forum yet, so thought I'd do one.
If you get the error 'Renderer Creation Failed' when trying to log into DAoC
(as I did), then you may need to upgrade to DirectX 9.0c.
As Requiel posted on FH:-
New game binaries were installed today which do not support DirectX 9.0b.
I expect this belongs in technical really, but someone frustrated may find it easier to spot here.
Oh and thanks Norcott.

Every morning I check the internet first thing to see if there is a new and shiny Direct x to upgrade to on all three computers....Gattling wrote:Remains the question why people would still have 9.0b
No, seriously, I don't upgrade the minute things come out, I let someone else find out what the problems are. I expect a lot of people don't bother to upgrade until needed as well.
9.0c has been out for what, a year now? dunno exactly tbh, but LONG. Besides, every new game you install, AND windows update installs 9.0C
So you really have to try very hard NOT to have 9.0c...

I posted this for information, because people have had the problem. Its posted on Freddy's House, because people have had the problem.Gattling wrote:9.0c has been out for what, a year now? dunno exactly tbh, but LONG. Besides, every new game you install, AND windows update installs 9.0C

There have been a lot of problems lately, and possibly I'm not the only one reaching the point where they feel one more may be the last they struggle with. So I was aiming to ease the frustration for the odd one or two people hitting this.
I don't install a lot of new stuff on the old pcs, and for whatever reason they do not update Direct X when they do windows updates. Its not really an interesting point to discuss so I suggest we just leave it that not everyone always has the latest Direct X on all pcs.
I hade this problem as well, did update directx and my ATI-drivers. Still didn't help I needed to install SP2 as well(was using SP1).Kallima wrote:If you get the error 'Renderer Creation Failed' when trying to log into DAoC(as I did), then you may need to upgrade to DirectX 9.0c.
My gfx card is a ATI Radeon 9800pro.
