I am still getting a Display Initialization Failed error. I haven't been able to play in a week and a half. I am using a voodoo3 2000.

Go into your videocard settings and drop your resolution down to 960x720 or lower. Thats what I had to do and I havn't had that problem since. Good luck and hope to see ya soon.

One mistake alot of people make, they get the "Failed to initialize display"... then they run ClientSetup, see a valid display mode then click "Cancel"...
Please click on "Okay"

i get "failed to ..." often in the last days .. but checking the preferences doesn't solve this problem ... an i'm sure i press "okay"
after restarting my system the problem is solved.

Yes, DX8 has a really bad problem about not releasing all the resources. So rebooting fixes display problems.

Hi!
Are you sure that all modes listed in the enumeration, support all features you use ingame?
I know enumaration ist frustrating and boring, but maybe...
When you have a time...

Hi
Also a reason for the fail to ini... problem is to switch it into background while starting the client. Since i run it only in foreground i have no more problems with this error.

I keep getting failed to intalize settings even if i set it to the lowest. My sound card has been of 4 a good while. Something but pc sockets not being installed. I dont know if this is preventing me from playing the game.

Well, I have been trying for hours to solve this "Failed to initialize platform" crap. I've got a Voodoo 4 4500 AGP, and DX8. I've rebooted, reinstalled, changed drivers, reinstalled drivers, changed desktop resolutions, and nothing. Any NEW ideas?
