Hey, when i click play i get an error saying Initdirectdraw failed: 0x80004001, but that only happens for some, the rest go to the normal error, server full or misconfigured. Anyone know what to do? i serched it up and said that you download this thing to fix errors, but It cost money and i dont have the money for a one use thing so if anyone knows how to fix this im on a windows 7 on a labtop. Please help me and thanks!,

have you messed with the resolutions? cause i get that sometimes when i mess with them

i dont know, what resolution do you play on?

bump

im usually lazy and stay on the default

Its on default for me, still nothing. I tryed legit everything in properties to fix but nothing. Need help plz :D

Download the latest driver for your graphic-card.
Edit: Oh wait. AOS uses a voxel engine which is CPU-based. No need for a 3D accelerator graphic-card. Maybe update DirectX (don't know if it uses it)...
Edit2: Another thought: Maybe DEP blocks your game. Disable it (google how to).
Edit3: Ah and make an exclusion for the game in every firewall-, antivirus-, hips-, etc-software which works in the background.

I get this problem as well, when I try to raise the resolution (I have 1440x900). I don't know if this is because the engine doesn't support such a high resolution, because others have been able to change their resolutions just fine.

Using widescreen resolutions sucks in this game because they brake the gui (at least for me in 1280x800).

Green_Beret:
1: I downloaded Direct X, didnt work
2: I dont have DEP on my computer, its not enabled on my computer (For some reason)
3: I do not have the Security running, i dont think anyways, it expired.
Any more help Plz :D

Also, my resoloution can only go up to 1024x600, not 1280x720 like others. Im pretty sure that is the issue I think so is there any way to fix that

Is your desktop resolution set to 32-bit color?

Also try changing the config to a 4:3 resolution you KNOW your monitor supports but not too high.

I have the same error and i do this:
1 ) Check your computer resolutions.
2 ) Go to ace of spades config file and change the xres and yres for your resolution
3 ) play
(Ex: I have resolution 1024 x 600, i go to config file and trade the xres for 1024 and the yres for 600).

I love you Alox it worked making topic on it now :D

Bah, I've changed my resolution to 1000x600 and I've had this same problem. On laptop, wireless connection, and resolution is 32. STILL NOT WORKING! Suggestions?

The default resolutions are 1024 x 768. Try that.

Did you change the resouloutions in the Config to the one that your useing now? that helped me

800x600?
