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.

cmillion · 07-10-2002, 03:16 AM

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

cmillion · 07-10-2002, 03:25 AM

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

jackjones · 07-10-2002, 04:16 AM

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

cmillion · 07-10-2002, 04:18 AM

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.

damn. a viper 550 god that card is old...i have one laying around...you have to get a better card.....

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......

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