Got that^ trying to start. Only happends if I've played ro already before on the comp w/o restart.

what motherboard have you got shapeshifter?

Try This, If this doesn't work something is seriously wrong

Try This, If this doesn't work something is seriously wrong

Go to the redorchestra.ini file. Goto Engine.Engine section

Due this, it will load as a very low resolution but it will load with resolution of RO 3.3.



Change this.....

[Engine.Engine]
RenderDevice=D3DDrv.D3DRenderDevice

To this.....

[Engine.Engine]
RenderDevice=OpenGLDrv.OpenGLRenderDevice

It should load

 

[[TW]Wilsonam]

Ok - it is working for you if you shift to OpenGL - I need to get a tech to check this out. There may be some underlying driver issue...

 

[pollizzilemaster]

Go to the redorchestra.ini file. Goto Engine.Engine section

Change this.....

[Engine.Engine]
RenderDevice=D3DDrv.D3DRenderDevice

To this.....

[Engine.Engine]
RenderDevice=OpenGLDrv.OpenGLRenderDevice

Load OSTFRONT.

Once it loads, exit OSTFRONT.

The go back to redorchestra.ini

Change the [engine.engine] thingamagig back......
RenderDevice=D3DDrv.D3DRenderDevice


Load red orchestra
Voila... works like magic

For me, it the swtich to OpenGL worked but after I changed it back, it stop working again. So I'll stay with OpenGL for now.

Also, if you have Norton software, shutting down via shortcuts is not enough, also you need to go to start--run--type: system.msc and shut down all Norton stil running in the background.

 

[daveyboy123]

ive tried the above,and used each of the engine options in the ini files in turn.Still no joy im afraid,the same error time after time:-(

 

[Petrov]

Yep that trick didnt work for me either

 

[Grunt]

Didn't work for me either. I tried both Null and OpenGL without success (only one at a time. ).

RenderDevice=Engine.NullRenderDevice
RenderDevice=OpenGLDrv.OpenGLRenderDevice

My error shows Video: no video. What did your error say, pollizzilemaster? Did your Critical Error show a Video card? May that's part of the distinction as to why this works for some but not for others.

It did nothing for me; I'm running the latest Omega Catalyst drivers, but only because I tried switching over from cat 6.3 when I got this error. I have an ATi x850xt PE

 

[pollizzilemaster]

Hey

Hey

I got the same error you got. Don't know why it doesn't work for everybody. I hate this for you, cause I know how it feel. My best regards.

 

[BUsysilent1]

Guys, today after I switched to OpenGL I got an error message myself (although it worked yeterday) but I clicked on "Ignore" and it worked.

 

[TommyToughGuy]

Does nothing for me either. I have used both ATI and nVidia card in my PC today as well as run memtest86 for hours, prime95, and multiple driver issues. If you need more information, PM or e-mail me.

Concerning re-installation of RO:

Tried that... didn't work. I'm also at the point of being HIGHLY frustated. So far I have tried the following:

No Windows Firewall
Delete .ini files
Delete RO folder
Delete and reinstall steam and RO
delete steam related dlls
uninstalled Java

When you uninstalled RO:O did you delete these two files: redorchestracommon.gcf and redorchestraclient.gcf file? They are not in the RO folder. They are in the Steam folder BEFORE you select your username folder. They contain pre-load information. If the pre-load was bad and you re-installed, but didn't get rid of these, a pre-load problem might not get corrected.

I re-installed RO for another reason, but I had to delete many files manually that the uninstaller did not get rid of.

EDIT: TommyToughGuy - It looks like you got the whole Steam folder, so this probably doesn't apply to you. But maybe it will help someone else.

Where in the steam folder?

Disabling Norton via run > "services.msc" and stopping all Norton/symantec services worked ok for me - my problem was obviously a conflict with Norton.

Hnag in there guys....
