Unable to create render target texture.

[infamousarse]

Hello all, I love M&B and I've been trying to get my friend to play.. but every time he tries character creation it gives the error "Unable to create render target texture." I've looked everywhere on the forums so sorry if I missed an important thread. Here are the stats on his system.

1024 by 768 resolution(16 bit)
Intel Pentium III processor
930 MHz, 256 MB of RAM
DirectX 9c installed
he also has the latest drivers for Intel(R) 82815 Graphics Controller, I made sure.

Does anyone know what's wrong? Suggestions, or will it just not run on his CPU?

Thanks!

first thing to do is probably Uninstall the whole thing, make sure to delete directories, and do a fresh install.

If you have already done that, then we'll have to wait and see if anyone has any ideas.

More suggestions. Since he's got onboard video and only 256mb memory, you should try lowering settings in the options file.
When you first run the game, click the "Configure" button. in the configuration text file, try lowering the "texture_detail" and "render_buffer_size" settings, and also try changing "use_pixel_shaders" from "1" to "0". You might also try changing "no_dot3_bumpmap" to "1" if you're still having problems.

If none of that helps, post back here again. It's possible that old onboard video is just not up to the task of rendering M&B though.
