Morrowind Render Creation Error

[ArcturusXIV]

Hi, just got a brand new netbook, tried to boot up Morrowind. "Render creation error." Can anyone fix?

I should have a fine video card for this, though it's Intel, so who knows. I tried Googling, looks like lots of nVidia cards are having the same issue.

People, this is important! Moreso than multi-headed dicks slapping my ass... In Retardo Land.

Is this Windows 7? Did you try the XP compatiblity mode?

Playing on Windows 7 and no problems here.

I'm guessing you have Intel integrated graphics, which is weak compared to those by NVIDIA and ATI, but it's still strange that it can't run Morrowind.

Then again, my last netbook barely managed Half-Life and 30 FPS.

Yeah, I'm running Intel. I run in compatibility mode for Windows XP SP2.

Compatibility mode shouldn't matter for almost anything, certainly not for Morrowind.

Do you have it installed outside of your C: drive? Are your drivers up to date? Do you have the application compatibility update for W7/Vista?

If its not that, its probably crappy intel integrated graphics. From what I can tell, the Nvidia cards having similar problems are also, guess what, old crappy Nvidia cards.

It ran fine here with Intel onboard on XP IRRC, It was on a 945G/GMA950 which I think is old, since my friend with a shittier and older computer(therefore the motherboard IG should be be shittier) has better Integrated Graphics or whatever you call it

The fucking game would crash when I alt tabbed and it was uncracked and I was like at the dialogue so I didn't play enough to see if it lags though


Do you have directx or D3D(dunno if it's the same) installed?

@OP:
The error generally means that your graphics card cannot into Morrowind, so you should try:
-upgrading drivers
-downgrading drivers
-updating dx
-uninstalling MGE
-installing MGE (not really an option if you're sporting some shitty integrated graphics)

The fucking game would crash when I alt tabbed

Only problem with MGE. Older versions.

and I was like at the dialogue

I wouldn't blame the dialogue here.

I installed new DirectX, same problem. New graphics drivers are installed. But when I try to reinstall them, it says I don't have minimum system requirements. :S

LOL WUT!?

You are uninstalling your graphics drivers before reinstalling them, right? Not doing so can lead to complications sometimes, its not a good thing to do.

You should probably figure out exactly which intel card you have, that specific model may have a specific fix that you can easily google.
