Runtime Error!

[vazful]

1)There is a game called Temple of Elemental Evil.

2)I can install and play the game normally, BUT i want to play it with a new mod called Temple+. But when i run the exe of the mod i get the error below:

Runtime Error!
Program: ..../zgo(the way i named my user)/AppData/Local/TemplePlus/app-1.0.29/TemplePlus.exe
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

 

3)My OP is Windows 7 64bit.

4)The developer of the mod says: maybe its because of my GPU, which is -> GeForece 7900 GT/GTO (11 year old now).

5)What could have changed so drastically that while i can run the original game i cant run the mod? Here is a link to the mod and its features http://www.rpgcodex.net/forums/index.php?threads/temple-changelog.99319/

 

I have tried a couple of things but nothing worked.

I dont have hopes.. but maybe im lucky and there is a solution?

Display:
Upgraded to DX11
...
Thorough rendering reform to improve performance on lower end systems.

This ?
7900 GT/GTO hardware supports DirectX 9.0c (SM3) natively.
PS. Updates for Windows, Visual C++, .NET Framework, etc are installed ?

[vazful]

so my GPU doesnt support DX11? thats the reason?

[agent_x007]

Well, probably ?
Try to borrow DX11 card and check.

But if software is OK (Windows Updates, Visual C++, .NET, etc.), only hardware remains as cause.

right click on desktop icon, go to properties, run in compatibility mode for ( NT/XP, etc. )????

[vazful]

yup software should be fine.

1)I have installed all the visuals C++ i could find.

2)Framework.net 4.6.2 installed

3)GPU is up to date

 

[agent_x007]

What about dxwebsetup, .NET 2.0/3.5.x, Windows Updates (SP1 for example) ?
C++ Visual : Both x86 and x64 versions (x64 are needed only if you have x64 version of Windows) ?

Major versions of C++ Visual :
2005, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2013, 2015.

[vazful]

Yes, Visual have both x86 and x64.

Yes, all of them, from 2005-2015.

SP1 installed.

I installed dxwebsetup but it says a newer version of Direct X is installed already and no installation is needed.

 

I havent installed .NET 2/3.5. Let see if that helps.

 

EDIT:

NET. 2 and 3.5 are already installed.

 

[vazful]

I guess its my GPU, which doesnt support DirectX11. Hope this is the case.

 

Thanks a lot for your time guys!

[LabRat]

not the gpu. did you try what I suggested above or what. I didn't write it for my health.

 

[vazful]

i apologize my friend, i kind of passed cause i dont really understand what u mean.

 

Right click on my Desktop? My Computer? or the Mod's exe?

[LabRat]

trying to run old games/apps on new operating systems doesn't always work nicely.

if the game has an icon on the desktop, right click on it. go to properties ( probably at the bottom ) and click on it. a new screen will pop up. look for compatibility in one of the little boxes at the top. open the drop down menue and try one of the suggestions made............ NT or XP , or whatever. ( try NT first- might say 4.0 or something ). then go to the bottom and hit okay. then try to run the app. I* don't think a restart is needed.

[vazful]

at first u kind of confused me there with the word desktop

Yes, i did that, i actually tried almost all the options (without restarting the PC), but still cant run it

[LabRat]

did you seek out all the patches and install them incrementally?

this isn't a 16bit game is it?

[vazful]

Nope its not 16bit, here check it ->

 

[LabRat]

check what?

is the game patched? I found 4 of them.

[vazful]

check how the game looks. lol

The game is patched, i have the GoG version (if that what u mean...)

[LabRat]

there were patches. whether G.O.G. has the patches included I don't know.

anyways< I tried running on W7 for a little bit and couldn't get it going. not going to mess with it any more. I'm not going to dig my XP machine out and download it again either. return the game. get you $5 back./

[vazful]

A guy suggest me this program -> http://dege.freeweb.hu/

 

But from what i understand (me being a total noob to this kind of things) my GPU (GeForce 7900 GT/GTO) supports Directx 9.0c (as Agent_x007 said above) and gdVoodoo 2 doesnt wrap Directx 9. So basically even that program cant help in my case??

Please guys someone that understands from these kind of things let me know.

also, what motherboard do you have?

and did you update JAVA lately?

what is the mod doing to the game?

does it run without the mod?

[vazful]

Java latest version.

I dont think it has to do with the mobo... its Asus P5B.

Dude... those are the requirements for the vanilla game, if u read my topic, i dont have problem running the original game. My problem is with the mod i mentioned.

[LabRat]

then the mod is corrupt/ i couldn't get the game to run. but i did read a readme file about the mod. you should look into that.

[vazful]

I dont think the mod is corrupt.....

All i need is someone that has good understanding regarding software stuff and how they work to tell reply on this post of mine (see below).

A guy suggest me this program -> http://dege.freeweb.hu/

Please guys someone that understands from these kind of things let me know whether i can or i cant use gdVoodoo 2 to play that mod.

if you're all that worried about DX9, download and install it or go find a game disc that has it as an extra and install it from there.  let us know if you ever get it fixed.

why don't you find an old voodoo card or a card that only renders dx8 and shader model 2.0
