I am having serious trouble dual logging. Whenever I log the second client in, it crashes on character log-in and this happens.


Could Not Initialize Direct3D. Please Ensure that DirectX 9.0 or higher is installed.


I have Direct X 9.0C, and my video drivers are up to date. Any ideas?

most likely, you are trying to launch the second instance from the same directory as the first. You need to configure the second client to launch from a second directory.

Nope, i set the path's manually and it still did that error. It also says :Try different screen resolutions or bit depth. What exactly is bit depth and how would i change it?

Normally this error means that your video card is not DirectX 9 hardware compliant. You do not say for sure but I get the impression that you can successfully launch one client.


The only other thing that I can think of is that your video card fairly old - does not have much memory. Can you post a Decal export?


Are you perhaps using Vista for your OS?
