Client not working under Windows 7

Started client with admin privs.
Client downloaded updates and gave login screen.
After submitting login, splash screen closes and begins allocating memory. Eventually depletes all of virtual memory and crashes.

since windows 7 is a beta that is probably the cause...

This is on Win7 Enterprise RTM, not beta, x64.


I have my ways :P

RTM... Knowing Microsoft that is: Rushed to market

plz post your Program Files/Darkwind/console.log

I don't have a win7 installation to test this on yet, but console.log might throw some light..

Ok, so I tracked it down a bit more.

Console.log could not find opengl or direct3d devices, then spammed failed opengl api calls. This is likely still a bug, but gave me something more to go on. (Sorry, lost log)

I updated bios and drivers. This got me further. Client did not go on a memory allocation spree, but rather opened a window and displayed all black. alt-enter to fullscreen actually displayed the lobby, albeit with bad flashing on refresh... possible buffering issue? Still not really playable, but it shows signs of life.

It was drivers. The Dell drivers, although newer than MS drivers were not up to par. NVidia has win7 64bit drivers out, and although they are not recommended for laptops, they worked like a charm.

Thanks for figuring this out! .. it adds further to the recommendation about updating drivers that I always make to Vista users.
