If you don't and it's still doing it then just reboot your computer.   Main Job: 70RDM/BLM or WHM ~ Fairy (I hate you, Maat)

You need a real video card to run FFXI - on-board video very rarely works, and even in the rare occasions when it does, the performance is awful.

Thanked 3x in 3 Posts Gil: 456 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 456 Donate | Re: ffxi config. Apparently if your error message has (-1) at the end that indicates a graphics card problem. TnL is textures and lighting I believe... You need a better graphics card anyway. I sorted this problem by buying an ATI Radeon 9000 (or something) for about £35 online and that worked fine. | | | ::Quote Selected:: | | | 11-27-2006, 12:42 AM | #8 (permalink) | | Junior Member Join Date: Nov 2006 Posts: 18 Style: Light - Version 6 Thanks: 0
Thanked 0x in 0 Posts Gil: 540 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 540 Donate | Re: ffxi config. I'm getting the same error as well, and I also have a 64 mb graphic intel card on my laptop.
I don't understand though. I could play WoW decently with this laptop, but for some reason it won't play with FFXI?
Is there anyway I can get around this?
I'm running intel 82852. | | | ::Quote Selected:: | | | 11-27-2006, 12:35 PM | #11 (permalink) | | Pointy Stick Keeper of Knowledge Join Date: Apr 2004 Location: Portland, OR Posts: 2,051 Style: Dark - Version 5 My Mood:  Thanks: 468

You need graphic cards with hardware TnL. Laptop or PC, doesn't matter. You don't have it, you can't run this game. There are painters who transform the sun into a yellow spot,
but there are others who with the help of their art and their intelligence
transform a yellow spot into the sun.

Thanked 3x in 3 Posts Gil: 456 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 456 Donate | Re: ffxi config. You can, but it's very pricey and I wouldn't recommend it because the components of a laptop are much more sensitive than within a PC. If you really wanted an upgrade, I would suggest going to see a PC Technician for pointers and to do the job. | | | ::Quote Selected:: | | | 11-28-2006, 08:10 AM | #15 (permalink) | | Junior Member Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: Maryland, USA Posts: 112 Style: Light - Version 6 Thanks: 0
Thanked 3x in 3 Posts Gil: 429 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 429 Donate | Re: ffxi config. Just wondering if the attached screenshot of an error I get every 15 minutes, is one that relates to a video card problem.
My 10 yr old kicked my computer a couple months back and I have reinstalled the computer once already.
I will have to look into replacing my video card if it is. I just want to be sure before I go spending extra money.
