Need help with running mmorpg on Netbook please (NexusTk)
I am looking to run a MMORPG with my Netbook. I have tried many solutions and have came close to getting it to work properly. Below is detailed information on my system specs, what the problem is, with screenshots, and what I have tried.
------------------------------------------------------------------------- System and Computer Specifications Windows 7 Home Premium Manufacturer: eMachines Model: eM250 Processor Intel(R) Atom CPU N270 @1.60Hz 1.60GHz Installed Memory (RAM) 1.00 GB System Type: 32-bit Operating System Pen and Touch: No Pen or Touch imput is available for this display Graphics Properties: Resolution Options: 1200x600 or 800x600 Color Quality: 32 Bit or 16 Bit Refresh Rate: 60 Hertz I have updated all Drivers on my computer, tried Ubuntu 9.10 and Ubunto Netbook Remix with Wine and had worse graphic glitches with Ubuntu+Wine but didn't mess with Ubuntu too much. --------------------------------------------------------------- First of all, please don't tell me that I just shouldn't play on a Netbook. I know that Netbooks aren't exactly made for gaming and I know that not many games work on Netbooks (I have spent 24+ hours trying to figure this out through websites in forums - that is the most common feedback anyone recieves back) I also have an HP Pavillion where the game works fine and i'm sure the performance works much better - however, this game runs wonderful on my netbook with no lag when plugged into a monitor. I have tried everything that I believe is possible within Windows to try to get it to fit screen, no cigar! Only solution i've came up with - Using a VGA to connect it to a TV. I want to be able to run this game on my Netbook because I think it would be awesome to have access to the game on my netbook and it would be much more portable. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Program Information The program is NexusTk (www.nexustk.com). - The folder is located in C:/Program Files/KRU/NexusTk In Folder = "NexusTk" (Main folder) C:/Program Files/KRU/NexusTk "Application" , "Application Extension" (Install.txt) "Text Document" "DAT File" "ASI File" In Folder = "Maps" (located in NexusTK folder) C:/Program Files/KRU/NexusTk/Maps "CMP FIle" In folder = "Data" (Located inside NexusTK folder) C:/Program Files/KRU/NexusTk/Data ."DAT file These are the absolute only file types in the entire program. I have selected "Show hidden files" as well. There are four main applications in C:/Program Files/KRU/NexusTk. NexusTK.exe TkDisplaySelector Patcher Uninstall TK Dipslay selector is: http://yfrog.com/jl10994436j It is not a in depth application, only two options with no exceptions. "Full screen" or "Windowed Mode (1200x768). -------------------------------------------------------------------- Problems When I open NexusTK with full screen selected, the game won't work. Instead, I get "Directdrawerror 0x80004001" - as shown in the screenshot ( I have made sure many times that I have the correct DirecX) http://img502.imageshack.us/i/directdrawerror.jpg/ When I open Nexustk with Windowed mode selected it will launch and run however, it only shows half of the screen. The width is perfectly fine but it only shows half the screen. The screenshots allow you to see how it is displayed on my screen with the Login, and gameplay. - (Window Mode) Log in page http://img717.imageshack.us/i/loginp...dowedmode.jpg/ - (Window mode) Gameplay http://img192.imageshack.us/i/loggedinwindowedmode.jpg/ - (Windowed mode) Logged in, inventory down to the letter 'x' http://img696.imageshack.us/i/logged...orydownto.jpg/ I followed all of KRU's suggestions and messed with NexusTK properties (right click and select properties then compatibility) and did much research to try to find out how to fix the problem. I found three possibilities; DxWnd, Ubuntu with Wine, and Hex editing. Ubuntu even lists NexusTk on their WineHQ website as a program that worked. http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManage...cation&iId=926 Ubuntu didn't seem to work any different than Windows 7 with NexusTk. I didn't mess with the Hex Editing because I don't know too much about that and it seemed it alters game files - I don't want to get banned from the game. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- One Solution the Almost worked DxWnd actually did work however with graphics glitches. It also allowed me to open it up with fullscreen without a Directdrawerror. I am using DxWnd DLL version 1.20. I also have the newer version but this one is the only one that fit it in the screen properly. However, there are cursor glitches, and the game flickers between fitting my screen properly and back to only showing half screen. Here is NexusTK being ran on my netbook with DxWnd. (Fullscreen has been marked with TKDisplaySelector) -NexusTK Login Page (After moving mouse slightly, two cursors) http://img193.imageshack.us/i/dxwnd.jpg/ -NexusTK Login page (Cursor trail graphic glitch + two cursors, beginning of trail and at the end) http://img706.imageshack.us/i/dxwndcursorglitch.jpg/ -NexusTK Login Page (After selecting "continue") http://img63.imageshack.us/i/dxwndlastglitch.jpg/ -NexusTK Login Page (Glitch between old resolution size and DxWnd resolution (Look at the bottom right, You see New and Continue coming through) http://img169.imageshack.us/i/glitch...wandconti.jpg/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- I have contacted Acer Emachines and they informed me that I would have to contact the gamemaker, or KRU. I haven't recieved much support from them either. So my question is, what are options to allow it to run? Is there maybe a program to fit in in the right window that will downscale the graphics properly? I really want to be able to run TK on my netbook and I've literally spent 24+ hours doing research on possible solutions and couldn't find any. This game is a MMORPG that is ran by Kru Interactive. I am not looking for something that will alter the game or files which can be traced; I don't want to get banned. I've been told by a Nexus GM that DxWnd is okay to use even though many websites refer to it as a Hack. If you can help me I would greatly appreciate it. I have heard many others in the game trying to figure this out yet no one has found a solution. Thank you! Last edited by FoFo9 : 03-09-2010 at 03:37 AM. Reason: Changed title |
