I've tried to run Boiling Point with 3d analyze and a Geforce4 MX 440 video card (which has directx 7 support). I've enabled pixel shader emulation, zbuffer 16 and some other settings, but everytime the game crashes at the loading screen and it gives me a error: "Unable to find Direct3D device object". I've tried to updae drivers and i've tried MANY settings without luck.

Is there a configuration for 3d analyze which works for this game? Help please :(

My computer:
AMD Athlon 2000+ 1.7 Ghz
768 MB RAM
Geforce 4 MX 440 (with newest drivers)

Im sure you know this but an MX440 isnt the best card for any modern game. Its not supported by Boiling Point and I honestly doubt you'll get the card to run it.............although if anyone can prove me wrong feel free...... :tup:

You're such a diplomat :) The MX440 was cr@p when it was released, it never had any potential except confusing buyers that do not have the time or the interest in doing some research when they buy a new rig.

It can be cr@p, but it's cheap and it can run almost every game that requires a video card (Half Life 2 is an example :tonguegre ). But this december i'll change my computer and my video card so i have no problem for now.

You're not getting even a quarter of how HL2 is supposed to look like, with that card. I don't want to put your setup down or anything. Money is important as well, and if it works for you, that's great.
