Can EOC run with current video cards? was created by darthbob135
system specs:
CPU: AMD Sempron 2600+ 1.6GHZ s
Motherboard:MSI K8MM-V Micro ATX AMD Motherboard socket 754
HDD: Seagate 120GB 7200RPM
CD Drive: Lite On DVD/CD combo 52xCD 16xDVD
RAM: 512mb (256x2)
Video Card: Visiontek ATI Radeon x1300 AGP 512mb GDDR-2 video memory
core speed 450mhz memory speed memory speed 533mhz.
OS: Windows xp pro service pack 2
MY problem is that I was using on board graphics to play EOC but it wasnt working well for anything else. so I upgraded and bought a video card. everything runs beautifully with it except EOC. IT says "Unable to find a suitable driver to run the game. This means the game will not run." It also says " In some cases a reboot of your machine will solve the problem. otherwise you should try to find the latest drivers for your graphics card."
Ive rebooted and tested many different drivers. unofficial and official. But all display the same message. I really love this game and love Torn stars even more. But I CANT PLAY!!!!!!!!!!! any suggestions?

I know that lots of people have had trouble with Nvidias latest cards. My solution was to go back and get a slightly older driver for my card. That fixed all my troubles. Perhaps that might work for you?

When do you get this error message? When you start the load/install screen? Or when you press "play"? Or is it in the flux.log?

Sorry there has not been more response. I have an ATI card, but it runs the game just fine. And I also run WinXP. I assume your direct X version is up to date?
