crashes when starting

[Greger]

I start RO from steam and the pic of the german dude comes, then this error:

Go to your RedOrchestra.ini and find:
[Engine.Engine]
;RenderDevice=D3DDrv.D3DRenderDevice
RenderDevice=D3D9Drv.D3D9RenderDevice

Now change that into:
[Engine.Engine]
RenderDevice=D3DDrv.D3DRenderDevice
;RenderDevice=D3D9Drv.D3D9RenderDevice

I hope it works!

After about 15 seconds in any practice map (Leapfrog in this instance) the game either crashes to the desktop or forces a restart. I posted this on Steam, but I figured I'd try it here as well in hopes of an answer.

My redorchestra.log file:

OK, well it won't allow that.

Getting close to requesting a refund.......

Found your topic thread on fixes. Tried #2 and it worked fine. Had a clan member with the same problem and it fixed his as well. Thanks. Will note that the "report bug" option does not seem to work.

I get the same error message when trying to load up the game. I deleted my local content and redownloaded (fun) but that didn't reset it either. I will try the fix suggested above when I get home.

The real reason for me posting here was to duplicate the comment that hitting the "Report Bug" does not work--takes you to a dead url.
