Thread: No graphics device with hardware support

  1. #1

    No graphics device with hardware support

    So i had to reinstall AO.
    Been away from game for about 6 weeks and now i am getting some time to play,
    Only problem is after i login and choose a character to play, i get a Error

    I get "No graphics device with hardwaresupport was found using DirectX!
    If this is not correct then restarting your computer might help.


    I tried to change my Rendering Device but i only have 1 option, to where before i had about 6 options to choose from.

    My device right now is "Primary display driver - RGB Emulation

    Any ideas or tips on this error would be very nice.
    Would like to play again before the Halloween event Leaves.

    Well i'm out of ideas...

    AO launcher only shows 1 display driver and that one wont let me login.

    I tried downloading my Nvidia Geforce FX 5500 card from Nvidias website and i get a message saying

    The Nvidia setup program could not locate any drivers that are compatible with your current hardware.Setup will now exit.

    Tried fixing that and no luck yet

    Still open for suggestions.

    No graphics device with hardware support was found using DirectX!

    Same problem here on my notebook. AO worked fine till i recently got this error and there's nothing to get it working again. I tried about everything i could think of, different drivers, any gfx setting i could think of, deleting prefs/ini to get a fresh setting - didn't help.

    Win7 here with ATI gfx, changed from Linux hoping to have less issues with AO and now its even worse.

    Only reinstalling AO fixes it for a few days, then randomly i get the same error again.. and have to reinstall it all over.
