XD3D_InitPerDX: Can’t create D3DX context! Error. DDERR_UNSUPPORTET

Here is what you can try in order to solve that problem:

1)
Said by NicoDE on the german WoG:

Sometimes the driver for the graphiccard cannot switch to fullscreen on some resolutions.
(Interaction of driver, card, directX, windows — reason unknown).
One possible solution: choose an other resolution �manualy� in the System/Gothic.ini:
zVidResFullscreenX=1024
zVidResFullscreenY=768
zVidResFullscreenBPP=32

Change this to the resolution of your desktop.

2)
And/or try an other resolution of the desktop (32-Bit recommended).

3)

— deactivate: Enable table fog emulation (graphic options direct 3d properties)

Allways do a restart after you un-/install something of the following:

4)

Deinstall the driver for the graphiccard, and install an other
version of the driver.

Do not again-install simply the driver, use best that «Driver Cleaner» (in order to remove the driver completely), see the link for detaills:

Driver Cleaner Professional Edition (http://www.drivercleaner.net/)

Install after deinstallation the Catalyst 3.9.

Catalyst 3.9 download (Link) (http://www.hardwaretreiber.de/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=137) (The download doesn�t work, it seems ATI don�t host it anylonger, you have to use the old drivers from your cd-rom which was delivered with your graphic-card.)

5)
Deinstall Direct X:

Download: DirectX Eradicator (deinstaller for DirectX) (http://www.3dcenter.de/downloads/directx-eradicator.php)

And then:

— install Direct X 8.1 (shoulkd be on ur Gothic Disk)

Direct X 8.1 (http://www.3dcenter.de/downloads/#directx)

And how do I do that?

2) suche in Grafikkartenoptionen (unter Direct3D Einstellungen) nach «Enable table fog emulation» , und aktiviere die Option dort.
Search the options of the graphic-card (in the Direct3D options) for «Enable table fog emulation», and activate this option.

Edit:

EDIT:Now I can’t even uninstall G2!It gives me »Couldn’t open INSTALL.LOG»

Has all hell broken loose?
You should install it new in the same folder as before, so this should give you a new install.log, maybe then the uninstall should work. But also delete the Gothic folder manual, when you uninstall the game.

For this problem, you can make a new partition, and install a «Gothic-Only-Windows» (With the old driver).
And you main-windows for the newer games.

BTW.: i can�t see the fable-pic.

If you are talking about how many GB’s I have on my HDD, I have 80

Edit:If it isn’t about that,well,I’m a n00b,so try explaining it a bit slower.I guess I can’t get out of this without being humiliated.
I mean the manufactorer of the HDD, i.e. Maxtor, then you can use the software of them «Maxblast» to easily make new partitions.

But first try the new user-account! Or is your question now, how to make a new user-account???

WernerTWC

I made a new account,and I tried to install the old version(the one from the CD),it didn’t work.I uninstalled the other version(on the new account).Surprise.The actions that I have done on the new account are present on the old(current) account.
Well, then i think a new partition is the best, with another windows on it.
�hm,… now, what was the manufactor?
I will try to explain it then (please be patient, i dunno if i can handle this this evening, because i�ll try it first on my own).

BTW.: please avoid double posts!

Aaaargh, now i had Assertion Failed bug while loading.

(Or you can make partitions with Partition Magic)

Which game version do you have? Maybe a patch could work!
And which directX do you have? It should be directX9.0c (http://www.computerbase.de/downloads/software/betriebssysteme/directx/).

1.Why must I do a new partiton?

So it’s about choosing.Playing super games,but Gothic doesn’t work,or play Gothic and miss other games

For this problem, you can make a new partition, and install a «Gothic-Only-Windows» (With the old driver).
And you main-windows for the newer games.

2.When I select »Setup you HDD» or »View Instalation Tutorial» nothing helps me.The »Setup HDD» tells me that the only drive is Windows drive,and Data Lifeguard doesn’ t allow to setup Windows drive,and says that I should get Data Lifeguard for DOS.
I recommend you to give it up. Just play gothic with the old driver.
If not, the dos version (http://support.wdc.com/download/index.asp?cxml=n&pid=3&swid=23).
And i don�t wanna test this, because my HDD are full, i cannot just format all.
Think of that you maybe have to format your whole HDD (everything!). And you must have a second Windows, not install just the same!
Then you can format your HDD, make 2 partitions and install the windows�s.

And about the link: I’m afraid of doing that, maybe my pc go crazy… What is it doing anyway?
This is in the case when you install SP2 and have problems then (not only with gothic, also other progs would make probs then)

And i have learned that some programs that are running under G2 are having a bad effect to the game, some are getting the game run staggerating or very slow, and some are must be shutted down to run the game.
Yeah, try this, shut all down what is not necessary for playing!

Do you think that the lack of virtual memory can be the cause of my problem?Because recently I got this message »Windows-Virtual Memory Minimum Too Low.Your system is low an virtual memory .Windows is increasing the size of your virtual memory paging file.During this process, memory reqests for some applications may be denied .»
hrgl,….

Ok, that could it be! :p

Rightclick on «work place» (is this the right word for it???), choose «properties», click on «enhanced (enhanced-properties???), click on «properties» of the system-performance, a new window pops up.
There click on enhanced (enhanced-properties???), click on «change» in the virtual memory field.
Now, if you have more HDD�s than one, then you have to choose one by click on it.
There choose «user-defined» and type in on min- and max-value «1024».
Click on «determine» (or confirm or whatever it�s called).
On all other HDD�s shut the vitual memory down, just choose the HDD and click on «no virtual memory» and confirm it.
If you have only one HDD, then set it to min- and max-value «1024».

After that, click on OK in the open windows to close them.

Running the steam Gold version of Gothic 2 — it was playing just fine until today when I installed the latest updates from Windows, after which I keep getting the DERR_UNSUPPORTED error message when starting the game.

These are the Windows updates:
Security Update KB2641653
Security Update KB2667402
Security Update KB2665364
Update KB2639308
Security Update KB2621440
Update Rollup for ActiveX Killbits for Windows KB2647518

I tried uninstalling them and restarting my computer, to no avail.

For reference, I’m running Windows 7, ATI 5870 Mobility graphics, Catalyst 11.5, Direct3D version 7.14.10.0833.

As I mentioned, Gothic was running just fine before this. I tried deleting the .ini file and re-running the VDFS32G program that runs at first time setup for Gothic 2.

I will try re-installing Gothic 2 now.

Any other ideas?

Thanks!

Deleted local content and reinstalled via Steam. No dice.

Is my only option now reinstalling Windows and avoiding those updates? It worked perfectly for 60 hours before that… I had a bad feeling about those Windows updates this time, too. >.<

That’s a DirectDraw error. Have you tried the solutions detailed in post #5 in this thread? The first one usually works.

Open {game folder}/system/gothic.ini with Notepad and search for ««;

Under video find:

zVidResFullscreenX=1024
zVidResFullscreenY=768

Change these values to your desktop resolution.
If that doesn’t work or the game resolution is already the same, set a different resolution on your desktop and try again.

You could also try changing this value found below the resolution:

zVidResFullscreenBPP=32

To either 32 or 16 (this is the colour depth).

Well I’ll be damned, changing the screen resolution to my native desktop resolution worked like a charm.

I had already changed it before to 1400×768 (not my native resolution, I think I used Gothic’s in game video setting) and it was working fine until that one day, so when I figured I had already done that step of the post you mentioned. D’oh.

Anyways, thanks so much One Stoned Bastard!
