RGL ERROR: Unable to create depth stencil surface width=512 height=512.

Well, I don't know if its been fully fixed, but I used to get that error, and recently i went into configure and changed the directx option to Directx 9 (which is what is installed on my computer) so far i have had no more problems.  I will update this post if i get one again today.

EDIT: So far, no errors and thats after several hours of playing.  It looks like you need to use the directx configuration that is actually installed on your computer.

I used to have this same problem.

I also have an nVidia graphic card and its not too good so thats probably the problem.

What I did was turn the frame-rate down to about 50 fps
and turned the in-game resolution to about 800 x 600 and
put the shadow quality to low.

Now, I don't get the rgl error anymore (I think, I played for about 45 min and it didn't crash yet).

Try doing something similar, it might help.

PS. the game still runs fast even with 50 fps.

For me at least, DX9 / DX7 / all options turned lowest / all options turned highest makes no difference. As I said previously (but not so clearly mentioning trying DX7), it may affect the frequency of it occurring, but doesn't stop it. It just craps out when it feels like it, with no regard for settings.

Try lowering the fps. I lowered it to about 50 fps.

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...

Relax and try to lower the fps in addition to lowering the resolution.

Now did you have the 512 error or the 2048 one? Because from the sound of it the two aren't so similar as to be fixed by the same measures.

I had the 2018 one.

Try this: get the textures and whatever files the RGL error wants and can't load and copy/paste them into the appropriate TEXTURES file folder.  My .951 version didn't install any of them.

Edit: That is, put them in the MOD folder of native.  In the general programs folder under textures there are files, but not in the mod section.

Upon investigation I discovered that my textures folder was empty as well. If I might get this straight. You say to copy the textures from the general textures folder into the textures folder for the Native module? And truly this is an effective remedy? Scratch that. If anything it only seemed to make the problem worse.

Any fix for this?? It's so annoying, I was doing great in a tournament when this crash happened it needs to be fixed asap. Instead of adding stuff please fix the crashes.

Disabling all shadows apparently fixed it for me.
