Posts: 2 		Hey guys....I just downloaded muvizu and wanted to try it. The program installed fine but when I tried to execute it I got the following msg.

device does not support 1x32 render target format along with a bunch of other stuff..

I have a HP Pavillion with a 2.33Ghz quadcore with 2gig cache. I have a terabyte HD and 8gig of Ram running Windows 7 (64bit). I am running with the onboard video but I have had no problems running games and other graphic intensive programs........

Any assistance would be great....

Sorry to hear you're getting this message, but it is most likely your graphics cards that are causing the problem. Our minimum spec for the graphics card is a Nvidia 7800 GTX or ATI 1300 graphics card. Generally they need to have shader model 2 or above - and a floating point render target. Most new nVidia or ATI cards will have this. Many onboard graphics cards (often Intel ones) just sadly don't have the power to run the Unreal engine.

If you let me know what type of graphics cards you've got I'll confirm for you whether they will work or not.

Cheers
Robert

There is one thing that you could try - it's a programme called 3dAnalyze - it fools games into thinking that your graphics card can meet the minimum specifications.

I used to own a laptop with onboard Intel graphics and it was the only programme that allowed me to run high-end games and software. I can't guarantee that it will work (as I haven't been able to test it) but it's the only way (other than upgrading) that you will have a chance of running any Unreal 3 engine software on your machines.

You can get the software from http://www.3dfxzone.it/dir/tools/3d_analyze/download/ (you need to click on the little floppy disk icon) and follow these steps:

1. Unzip the installer to a location of your choosing
2. Run the installer, selecting a folder of your choosing
3. Open the folder and run 3dAnalyze.exe
4. Click on select
5. Select the Muvizu.exe file which can be found at C:\Program Files\Muvizu\Binaries
6. Click on the following check boxes:
Performance > Force SW TnL
Hardware Limits (Cap Bits) > Emulate HW TnL caps
Anti-Detect Mode > Shaders
Anti-Detect Mode > Textures
7. Click run

At this point Muvizu will either run or crash - I can't say which though

Also, we cannot guarantee the reliability or quality of software that is made by other developers so if you do use 3dAnalyse you do so at your own risk.

Best of luck,
-Jim.
