Ok, so ive installed renegade on other vista computers (50/50 32-64 bit), and I know about the run as admin, compatability mode etc, but doesn't fall under any of those categories.... here's what happens:

1)Installs fine, but can't right it because no-cd issues, install the 1.037 patch, everything fine up to this point.

2)Install renguard, then the core patches again everything seems to be running fine.

3)I try to run it and it automatically gets:

^Even ive manually set my account to be the main admin (like the hidden admin one), and disabled UAC, right click->run as admin gives me the same error.

4)Compatability mode->XP Service Pack 2, and it actually tries to load it up, goes to black screen, but then it just hangs. This is why I think it is a video card issues (related to DX9/10).

I have an EVGA 8800GT (512mb, PCI-2.0, OC'd) which runs default DX10, and I was just told:

All 3.x versions (as well as 4.0) use DX9. DX10 is not possible (and provides no benefit even on Vista)


And since I am using core patch 2 scipts, its like 2.2 something which is DX8 I guess. Now my question is, do I have to install DX9 and DX8 separately aswell for it to run those DX's or can DX10 emulate those?

DX10 will play DX8 fine. You should be ok.

*sigh*

DirectX 10 is a completely different API. Vista does come preinstalled with DirectX 8 and DirectX 9, don't need to worry about installing those.

Your video card doesn't run anything "native", NVIDIA's driver provides translaters for DirectX8, 9, 10, OpenGL, etc to what the video card actually runs. Give scripts 3.4.4 a try and if that doesn't work, try this launcher.

Not to mention that it's not that small a mistake if the differences are as large as Saberhawk points out.


Renguard is a wonderful initiative

I was merely trying to say that if he has DX10 that he doesn't need to install DX8/9. It will work..But whatever..lool.

Its not the 05 error, thats just related to UAC/run as admin which is one of the first things I mingled with in the registry. Any, heres the current status:

1)with scripts 3.4.4 it DID work, but from that installer, what are the "example shaders", and "bloom"?

2)So it means, anyone with a native DX10 video card, their renegade will NOT work unless they manually find, download, and install scripts 3.0+ (or 2.9.2 +ren3d)?

3)What was that laucher, downloaded it anyway, but don't wanna try it just yet because my renegade is still being picky but atleast working.

Sorry for butting into the topic, but I have the same problem. I followed all the steps in the sticky and everything you guys posted. I installed every option in scripts344, renguard, everything. I do not get the 05 error. It is the same thing that happens as his first post.

Rather than creating a new topic, I thought I should ask here. Does anybody have any suggestions?

Also, I downloaded the gamelauncher and ran it. It did absolutely nothing for me.

Thanks in advance.

Renegade has a bug in it that causes random crashes on startup when using versions of Windows newer than Windows Server 2003 (aka NT 5.2). That launcher runs the game with a specially built compatibility fix.

Did it not run at all or did it crash still?

Well after digging through a bunch of posts, I found that if I installed Resurrection, I could just disable the launcher and run Renegade with Rengaurd.

Thanks anyways everybody.
