  • The stupid initdirectdraw fail.
  •  

    I keep getting this error, I've been searching for over an hour for fixes. I've NEVER installed cheat engine. There is no .ct in my registry, I have tried compatibility mode on many different versions for both the client and the voxed file, both are on run as administrator as well. I have not changed anything but my name in the config file. I've updated all my drivers, tried un-installing and re-installing, restarting, shutting down, etc. NOTHING has worked.

    I'm running windows 7 64bit.

    Try this. Open the config.ini and set xres and yres to a resolution you KNOW your monitor supports and is less than 1280x1024

    Weirdly enough, I have this problem on Mozilla Firefox but not on Chrome. Try different browsers out also if you want.

    I use Chrome, And I've tried different resolutions, Default, my native resolution, Which is less then 1280x1024, I've tried all resolutions to keep the 4:3 aspect ratio too.

    I have a big 'ol 1280x800 monitor, myself, and the game works fine on that and any resolution lower than that (although it looks awful if the resolution is wrong). Make sure to set the resolution (in the "config.ini" file) to match your screen, and try different browsers.

    I have tried like I said, many different resolutions, none of which seem to be working, and I've tried Chrome, Firefox, and IE, none of which have worked.

    Well, it looks like your options are:

    (A): Uninstall and reinstall AoS.

    (B): Give up on AoS untill the next update.

    I'm afraid I have no more adive to offer. I'm stumped.

    Just try different browsers, that worked for me. If it doesn't work, I have to go with what 1337101 said. Wait for the next update.

    I have uninstalled, Re installed, repaired, you name it, I have tried like I said 3 different browsers, and I have tried both 4:3 and 16:9 ratios.

    I'm having this problem, but I'm running in Wine so I don't even use a browser. I pass the server address in through the command line and get the following errors:

    fixme:heap:HeapSetInformation 0x0 1 0x0 0
    fixme:d3d_caps:init_driver_info Unhandled vendor 8086.
    fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x32f218,0x00000000), stub!
    err:x11settings:X11DRV_ChangeDisplaySettingsEx No matching mode found 800x600x32 @0! (NoRes)

    I've tried adjusting the resolution to match my monitor, tried 4:3, 16:9, nothing is working. I'd really rather be able to play in Wine than fire up VMWare every time I want to play....

    I've been playing on Chrome using 1366x768. I've always been able to get into a game fine, but it cuts off at the top of the screen so that my weapons and tools are shown only about halfway. It's not a big deal to me since it doesn't really affect gameplay that much, but if someone knows how to fix it without changing the Y res back to 600, I'd appreciate your help.

    Oh BOY do I hope someone discovers a fix for this that actually works.

    Incidentally, "blue cum" is a hot tag apparently (look below the message box).

    @CGChris Can you not read? That says "blue scum".

    At the time I posted it was "blue cum". That's what I get for referencing something that changes constantly.

    Anyway, it would be cool if AoS would actually run. Yeah.
