A strange error with RiceDaedalus5.2.0!

[Rampage131]

Hi aLL!!

Whenever I try to change any of the settings in RiceDaedalus5.2.0, like sharper textures and such I get this error, "Can not initialize DX8,check your Direct settings"

Now what I wonder is how come I get an DX8 error or anything else DX8 when I have the latest DX9!?!?!?

THX! (in advance)

same here, If I fiddle with settings enough, it goes away. Doing things like setting 32bit textures gets me this error, come on, a GeForce 3? not handle 32 bit textures?

Oh yea Dx9b, Forceware 53.03

32-bit texturess should work on my card, but it doesnt. My card is designed for DX 9.0 now, unlike before with my old card which was still a DX8.1 designed card. There shouldnt be any excuse for me because I have a 128MB card now

Scotty, which part of 'issues with Radeon cards' do you not understand?

i get that error alot on my video card. I got a Ti 4600 with modified forcware 53.03 drivers (starstorm), and dx9b

Make sure the depth buffer is 16-Bit (def).

32-Bit does not work with any video card because the option itself does not work, and will give the 'Cannot initialise DX8' message if selected. Tooltip says that you don't have to change the setting.
