Fatal error when logging in?

[Shian]

I try to log in and I get a pop up declaring:
Fatal error: Could not create rendering device. Please check your Direct 3D setup.

Uhh.... what?

Might need to submit a support ticket for this one.

Seems so. Pity. I thought it would be something more common like "Update your launcher, doofus" XD

[Steelclaw]

Weird. Did you upgrade anything recently? (hardware, drivers, OS)

[Shian]

Graphics card had an update 3 days ago or so, but no real upgrades to speak of.
I did move back into my apartment last week, so maybe something got clocked while moving? I've been able to play all other games, so nothing major was knocked out. I can't remember if I've logged into the game since moving or not.

You might be able to rollback your graphics driver in device manager.

What graphics card is it?

That's not an ATI (AMD?) graphics card, is it?

[Shian]

Nope. Nvidia 460 GTX. Rollback didn't work. Meh.

However, unchecking 'use multithreading' in Istaria's launcher seems to have worked. Weird.

[Steelclaw]

Uh. O_o

Does turning on "use multithreading" cause the 3D error again?

AFAIK, the "use multithreading" checkbox only affects the patcher, which is a completely separate piece of code from the client.

[Shian]

No Ugh. I'll try to reproduce the problem, but it seems to have fixed itself AFAIK -_-
