Interesting technical issues

[irregular]

Hey, just got my friend in to DW, but there are a couple of problems.

1) He can run the game fine once he is in a game, but he cant see any of the menu options. He has a Geforce 9600 GSO, I have a 9600 GT and mine runs fine.

2) When I am trying to host a game for us, it says I am unable to host due to an error, and it doesn't give anymore info than that.

Thanks :)

Damaged installation IMHO. Never heard about something like this. GFX card should be no problem.
As for the hosting, no idea either but then I only played MP twice or so.

Hi,

I've had some probs also with a 9800, check antialiasing down (some parts of menu were invisible...). Try to reduce card's graphics options. For MP, no better than Dr.Sid.

Are you going through a router ? You may have to open some ports.

Yep well I have opened all the necessary ports, and I can connect to people, I just cant host. Ill tell him to reinstall his game though if lowering the graphics doesnt work.

You could also have him try 16bit versus 32bit colors. I have seen that help some graphics issues for me.

[Dr.Sid]

Dude DW does not have 32 bits option at all. Where have you been all these years ?

[Rip]

I mean on your desktop settings, not the DW settings. IIRC you have to do it to run DW in a window, but I seem to recall it solving some full screen issues as well with some cards.

I had the same graphical problems with my game (using a gtx 260), and turning down the AA solved everything. Big thanks MikiBzh! Unfortunately, I have no experience with MP, so I cannot offer any advice there.

Well we solved his problem. Hes got a corrupt copy :/.
Now we just gotta figure out why i cant host.
