Unable To Create Primary Surface 3

Post by Rugens »

Having a problem getting the newest version to run on my laptop. Have never had a problem prior to this. Running Windows 7.

When I attempt to run the program I get the subject message:

I think that is problem with Windows Direct Draw.

You may need to update your graphics adapter or run game with switch "-dd_sw" and see if that helps.

I used the switch you noted above and it works perfectly now. Thank you very much Sardaukar.
