Hmm... I've just installed the "Graphic enhancement" mod for .903 on .950 and the problem seems to be gone. Anyone, thy it to see if it really helps...

No help ... I still get ther error...

 

[Habemik]

Just a quick post to happily report :

I've given 0.951 a good few hours' worth and so far there has been no nasty error of this kind. I hope I haven't spoke too soon, but it looks like it's been sorted

I have had this game going on 2 years and never crashed once because of this...
now with this new version 0.951 i can't even get through the training without crash after crash...
it's unreal how instead of getting a better version i end up with a non-playable version....
i think i payed 10 bucks for this game back then.....
use to be a great deal....
now...
I WANT MY 10 BUCKS BACK>>>>>>>>>>>
i hope the Devs give a rats ass about this....
i haven't read anything to help this problem yet....

I have the same bug.

How can i fix it?

 

[paulbergel]

Me too -- I never had it before v0.951.  My error read:

RGL ERROR: Unable to create depth stencil surface width=2048 height=2048.

Happened at the beginning of a new character in the training grounds around the 3rd tier.

951 - more often...

 

[Dibhala]

hmm.... for me 951 fixed RGL crash.
But I still play with min. video options.

 

[Ehecatzin]

well Im getting the same error and CTD, its really annoying, not being able to do, really anything, I hope this gets fixed soon, wich Im sure it will.

 

[Habemik]

0.951 fixed this issue for me :

What computers are people running who are still getting it / have just started getting it?
When / where does it happen?
Is it a "Unable to create depth stencil surface width=512 height=512" or a "Unable to create depth stencil surface width=2048 height=2048"?

The dev team are probably going to need a bit more info off you all to be able to do anything about it.

I've received this error several times since updating from 0.903 to 0.951, particularly when loading a new scene or area (no other instances have caused this problem). The only difference I have with the topic creator is that the two dimensions of whatever it can't create are 2048 instead of 512. No clue as to what it might be.

As for my computer, I'm operating the following (outdated) specifications:

Operating System: Windows XP Professional SP2
Processor: Intel Pentium 4: Clock speed rated at 1.9 Ghz
Memory: 512 MB of RDRAM
Graphics Card: ATI Radeon 9200 series. Main Driver ati2dvag.dll version 6.14.0010.6422 (English, dating 1/20/2004 5/3/2006. Recently updated to no effect.)

As it stands, this and blocked text accompanied by massive slowdowns can occur within minutes of activation whenever a scene change is called for, rendering the game effectively unplayable.

It seems like I dont have this issue any more after updating to 951

 

[NKL39]

0.951 cleared up my RGL problems (only happened with 0.950).

My PC: Intel P4 2.4 Ghz, 512MB Ram, 40Gb HD, Intel 82865G Graphic Controller (on motherboard).

I've had the "blocky text" problem listed in other threads (with 0.951) and also a rainbow of colours in the menu bar on the world map with both 0.951 and 0.950.

Cheers,
NKL.

I have the same problem, but BIGGER. Text? Here:

"Unable to created depth stencil surface width= 2048 height= 2048. Shadowmap quality will be reduced next time you play the game."

My version?

Brand new 0.951

Frequency of the problem?

Approximately every 10-15 min. of playing the game, especially when besieging castles or raiding town. Also when having chain battles.

PLEASE, I BEG YOU, IF YOU HAVE A SOLUTION TO THIS ANNOYING PROBLEM, PLEASE PM ME!!

Afain 951 patch fixed only RGL 512 error.
I didn't experience RGL 2048, so I can't say anything on how to even temporary fix it

 

[Dr.Q]

I have the same problem...and my config:AMD Athlon 2500+;1.83Ghz;768Mb ram;Radeon 9250 128Mb;sp xp2....and I have it all update....I didn't have this problem in the 0,950....it just happened since i downloaded the new version....hope they give us the patch soon cos I'll kill somebody in school if not playing the game...

 

[Tacoslayer23]

Mine happens everytime i sign on. I'm on for about 12-14 minutes then im booted off. This RGL error was never a problem for me before 0.950 and 0.951 help. I enjoy playing M&B and i hope you guys fix the problem.

 

[Ivan Bajlo]

That isn't a bug its a feature telling us summer is coming to Europe and we should do some real exercise - training in M&B won't do anything to your real world anatomy, at lest until M&B becomes holodeck program.

Same gig here, all much older hardware though. never had a problem with the last release though. I only just started the game, imported my old character, was buying up some good gear (I hate how you lose all your gear when a new release comes out...) and was entering a tournament, because it looked like a new feature, and the game freezes up right after clixking on "fight in next round." I have to use the window button to break out of it and see that stupid error message. I lowered the game resolution and switched to DX9, got a few fights in, won a tournament, then got half way into the next tournament before it happened again.

hope a fix gets out soon.

 

[Dr.Q]

It appears that I somehow fixed it...cos it isn't happening to me anymore...I turned off everything...all the details 10...Dx7...pixel shader off...and the force verc.sys.off...not sure if it'll work for you but it's fixed for me...
