Mike Mayday Graphics crash
« on: June 11, 2009, 02:58:03 pm »

Every time i try it i get the following error:

GPU unable to accomodate texture catalog. Retry without graphical tiles,update your drivers or better yet update your GPU.

Everything is fully updated,any way for me to fix it?

I can't get it to work here on my GTX 280. OS is Windows 7 / 64 bit, maybe that is the problem?

Anybody knows a solution?

edit: fixed. it's this shitty graphics card :D had to restart 1 or 2 times now it works lol. my gfx-card has problems :(

I think it must be the way it renders the graphics using OpenGL. Your graphics card probably don't have an OpenGL driver modern enough.

I've never had any problems with Mayday.

There was something wierd with version 17 as it crashed then, but otherwise I haven't had any problems related to Maydays graphics pack.

Last time we were visiting the in-laws I tried to run maydays set on my mother-in-law's older PC and got the same error.  After some investigation I found that it is because the graphics card does not have the proper openGL drivers to run DF with graphics enabled.  I was able to play by going into the init file and disabling graphics and running with the original ascii.
