Technical Help: Problems BEFORE entering the game /
« on: December 20, 2003, 12:53:23 pm »
lynx_lupo--1. Well on my radeon, I ca play in hardware mode...just ignoring the setup.

Yeah, I know how to work around it with GL, but I hate editing configs with wordpad, especially when i know there is a gui there to do it for me and the setup utility is all I really want to run.

lynx_lupo--Malekor: those files are irrelevant, PS doesn\'t use them, it\'s a \"faulty\" output. It just means that PS doesn\'t use some of the CS\'s functionalities.
The problem is elsewhere.

Ok, I can believe that the verbose output is wrong, but when  I copied the .dll\'s it seemed to fix everything except the errors related to the one dll I\'m missing.  Anyhow if this is \"faulty\" output, could you at least point me to a thread somewhere that explains it?  

Anyway, Thank you for responding so fast.

P.S. I\'m not a game designer by any means, I just hate having broken things on my computer especially when the program concept is as cool as ps.

I know this is an old thread, but the reason i\'m posting is it seems everyone just says \"Yeah it\'s broke -heres the work around with wordpad\". This is the newest related thread I could find,and I think i have an idea of whats wrong, just not how to fix it.  

When running the psclient.exe in windows ME I get the exact same Fatal Error: Can\'t Create DirectDrawDevice.

After hacking around a bit I found you can get debbugging information from the psclient.exe by typing -verbose.  So by typing at the command prompt:
psclient -verbose -video=software

You get a whole bunch more than just Fatal error, to keep it short the program is trying to use a software 3d driver from crystal space and it cant find these 4 files:

cssgiimg.dll
cswalimg.dll
csjngimg.dll
csddsimg.dll***

I tried to fix this by downloading crystal space 3d and just copying their drivers into the ps directory.  This was a minor success since I managed to eliminate gripes about 3 of the files.  However the csddsimg.dll file is no where to be found. It didn\'t come with crystal space and it\'s not in the ps directory.  I\'m sure that if i could get this file the Fatal Error problem would be gone.  Anyone who sees this and recognizes any of this or has a clue how to fix it, I would love your input.

laters,
Mal
