Can't get Megazeux to work

Post by CedricTheAwesome »

Hey, this is the same person who couldn't get OHRRPGCE to work (see a thread from recently). I'm back and now I have the exact same problem with Megazeux. Whenever I try to run it, my computer freezes, just like it did with OHRRPGCE. I'm guessing there's a similar solution? Last time I just had to rename a file and then it worked. Apparently there was a problem with my directx or something.

P.S. does anyone know of a site with good Megazeux tutorials??

MegaZeus has a config file named config.txt. You can edit this to change the renderer. Try using "video_output = software". Another option to try is "video_output = opengl2", though maybe your whole graphics driver is busted, including OpenGL.

I suggest you try to figure out why DirectX doesn't work on your computer, or you'll end up working around the problem in every game. Try to understand any error messages that dxdiag gives you; in particular look on the drivers tab. Reinstalling graphics drivers or directX 9 is the most obvious solution.
