I installed darkspace on my other computer
after updating it after it showed "initializing platform" it showed a pop up window saying " failed to initialize display" then the whole thing exited
but GCQL still remained
edit: 2nd error after "failed to initialize display" is "failed to initialize the platform; please run 'darkspace setup' to check your client settings. I also tried changing the resolution still nothing
what gone wrong?

If you arn't using a Windows XP/2k System, try to start GCQL with administration rights (rightclick and "run as admin").
Or if your System doesn't spport the latest grafic changes you should go into the DarkSpace Setup and disable Bloom and untick HDR.
PS: post your CPU, Grafic-Card, Ram, OS, etc..

This is the same suggestion I gave to someone else a few minutes ago so read up.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I see you have an older computer so just an FYI if you have not seen it:
DarkSpace requires the following minimum computer specifications to run normally:
OS: Windows 2000/XP
CPU: 700 mHz Intel/AMD
Video: Second-Generation 3D Card (GeForce, Matrox G400, Graphics Blaster)
Audio: Direct Sound compatible sound card required.
Hard Drive: 150 MB
RAM: 512 MB
Internet Connection (56k modem or faster)
Direct Input-compatible Mouse.
DirectX 9.0c or higher
We recommend the following for best performance:
OS: Windows XP/Vista/7
CPU: 1000+ mHz Intel/AMD
Video: 32MB Second-Generation 3D Card (GeForce, Matrox G400, Graphics Blaster)
Audio: Direct Sound compatible sound card required.
Hard Drive: 150 MB
RAM: 1024 MB
Internet Connection (ISDN, Cable, ADSL)
Direct Input-compatible Mouse.
DirectX 9.0c or higher
DarkSpace requires DirectX 9.0c or higher. All modern Windows machines require DirectX, but if you still need an update, click
- If you do not have 9.0c I suggest getting it at the link provided up top.
- After you install 9.0c update your video drivers. (If you already have 9.0c then try to update your video drivers now.
- If that does not help start decreasing your graphics options on your Launch Tab click DarkSpace Setup and launch it and decrease settings you can change these options on the load up screen.
Keep in mind you are not the only one having latency/lag/dysnc issues. But since your video is borderline acceptable give those updates a try. When in doubt decrease your video settings.
Give all that a shot and let me know how you make out.

You are also borderline on your hardware but it should work okay, we will get you squared away.
- What Firewall are you running, and if you are running one is it added to your exceptions list?
- Also what are you running for antivirus.... It is rare but sometimes people have conflict errors with that.
Let me know how you make out please,
-Challenger
