[VN Boards Archive]

Welcome to the Vault Network forum archive.

This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least 20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per page).

Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50 topics per page, while others deemed of historical signifigance may be archived in their entirety.

We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in lieu of that.

Please enjoy the archive.

	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? -----signature----- "I have found Christian dogma unintelligible.

	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. -----signature-----

	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? -----signature----- "I have found Christian dogma unintelligible. Early in life, I absenteed myself from Christian assemblies."

	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? -----signature----- (none)
