No graphics in game, pregame error saying no acceleration
« on: December 07, 2009, 07:23:01 pm »
It's been a number of years since I've played planeshift, and i got dragged away by school, but winter break is coming up and i feel extremely nostalgic.

When I bring up the game, I recieve an error message briefly at the top saying no acceleration found. I log in and then select my character, and then the game loads a mostly black screen except for the UI stuff like the option and the chat box. I'm not getting any kind of chat messages or system messages.
I don't know if that error message before hand is the issue or if the problem is something like where my toon was when i last played doesn't exist anymore.

I know my system is a bit old, but it used to run planeshift just fine. I have a Radeon 9200 graphics card, 2 gigs of memory, a duel core, 2.4ghz processor and tons of hard drive space. The game is updated, I think my system fits the requirements, I tried changing settings in game and out of game, but nothing seems to work.
Any help is appreciated! I really miss my old guildies!

Hiya and welcome back. I suggest you take a look at http://www.hydlaaplaza.com/smf/index.php?topic=32557.0 that thread, it has a bunch of ATi advice for driver versions.

Good luck.
