Diablo2 with Savage IX card in XP

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)


Posted by: anubis44

When I run the video test for Diablo II on my IBM Thinkpad T20 in WinXP, the test tells me D3D is best. When I start the game, I get the following message:

Assertion Failure
Location:

C:/Projects/Diablo2/Source/D2Direct3D/Src/d3dTextureCache.cpp,
line #90
Expression : tCache->nMaxNumItems

I get this error in Win2000 and XP, no matter which version of either the Savage drivers or Diablo II patch. I'm currently trying with the 1.09 patch. I KNOW the Savage chip sucks, but all I really want to do is run this game. It DOES work in WinME, but I don't want to have a dual boot system JUST to run DiabloII in ME.

P L E A S E H E L P!!!

Thanks to all who reply.

Hi,

I hate these damn assertion errors.
(Solved #173, Unsolved #2863, 280, 335)

Anyway, this error was posted earlier, don't know if it was solved though...

#1 - If your using two sticks of DDR memory pull one and walla everything should work fine....

#2 - Dump your "New" video (nVidia for me) drivers
and get the older version... pre 4x.xx

For Example / Win98 - Download 30.82_win9x.exe


More to the point, did you Unistall/Rienstall D2, run error-checker, defragment, run disk cleanup, and have the latest game patches?

I this doesn't work, check out the Blizzard Support pages at this link...

Yes, there was one other person who got this error, but they had an ATI chip in their machine, and apparently, an updated ATI driver fixed the problem. I've got a Savage graphics chip, and I have yet to find a driver which solves the problem. I've done everything else you've suggested: re-installed the game, used every version of patch, used Direct X 8.1, 9.

I just don't know why it works in ME, but not 2000/XP. Anyone know what's missing in the 2000/XP drivers?

Desparate.
