I got a problem similar to viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1168 , but rwr_game doesnt end with "rendering first frame". RWR worked before, but now i got a new Windows XP (cause old Windows XP broke) and RWR doesnt work. I have d3dx9_42.dll and i have updated openal.dll, but RWR crashes while loading screen stays.

Heres rwr_game.txt

hi and welcome to the community.
Did you already update your dx9.0c to the latest version? http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=35

I have DirectX 9, but im not sure if i have LATEST DirectX 9C. Do i need to uninstall old DirectX before downloading new one?

just install it from the link I gave you. It won't uninstall anything, but make your DX version the latest.

The issue is probably with the graphics card or its drivers.

Radeon X-series tend to have a bad reputation with RWR, either the drivers report incorrect rendering capabilities or there are other limitations the game is not designed to work with. Certain rendering features have been specifically disabled in RWR for these cards to help with the issues, but chances are new ones have been created that we haven't had the chance to test with these graphics cards.

Try updating the graphics card drivers, at least. If it doesn't help, you could first try to launch the game with parameter safemode, and if that doesn't work, try command line parameter opengl.

While the game might run with some pretty old PC's, a GPU launched in 2006 might be a stretch.

RWR worked fine before, and before reinstalling OS i had same specs as now.
Nothing really changed after i reinstalled my OS.
I have reinstalled it because disc C: broke and CHKDSK failed to fix it, CHKDSK just deleted all files on disc C: but other things were fine and untouched.
I will still try to use your fixes.

Oh right, must've misread the point that it worked fine before.

Was it a recent version that you played earlier?

I dont really remember, but i think it was 0.8.X or 0.7.X. I remember there was winter mode and heavy boats already. I didnt view changelogs and i dont know what version that was.
