Actually got it running now. Woohoo. Too late to play any, though.
In another post I found this in reference to conf.ini:
Code:
[window]
DepthBits =24
StencilBits=8
DrawIfNotFocused=0
SaveAspect=0
Render=D3D9 <----this is the dx version, i have seen D3D10_1 on a vista install
width=1280
height=1024
ColourBits=32
FullScreen=1
ChangeScreenRes=1
I only had the first four of those lines. Adding them (correcting for my resolution) still made it fail, but the failure was different. Setting Render=D3D9 did the trick.
