My frien just downloaded the new army game but get this error when trying to play it:

Assertion failed: RenDev [File:C:\fireteam\WinDrv\Src\WinViewport.cpp] [Line: 450]

History: UWindowsViewport: penWindow <- UGameEngine::Init <- InitEngine


His system specs are:

WinME, K6-2 333mhz, Diamond V550 (16MB), WD 7.54GB HD, AOpen AX59Pro mobo

thanks for any help.

Also does the Diamond V550 16MB video card support direct 3d?

And another thing! My friend gets this error when trying to install new drivers for his video card:

setup was unable to locate a detected device's PCI ID in NVAML.INF

I'm not quite sure, but I don't think you can play with those specs.

Well I just saw that the game doesn't support TNT or Voodoo vid cards and he said his vid card has a TNT chipset. I also told him that he needed a way better system to run it.

Thousands of people are getting the same exact error, I being one of them. The software developers screwed something up and they don't seem very determined to come out with a fix for this, seeing as the game is free and a government army recruitment tool. Try something with more reliable people behind it such as Ghost Recon or Operation Flashpoint until they come out with a fix. Also, it may just be me but I get kinda nervous installing software from the government, especially involving the military. Why would they making it free? Monitoring programs/spyware perhaps?

These are valid assertions, but with all the knowledgeable enthusiasts, one can surmise the detection and elimination of said shpyware. Now the IBF/AIC on the other hand......
:D

I had such an error message, upgraded to DirectX 8.1. I'm halfway thru bootcamp even with my below mentioned puny specs. :)
