DirectX - Sallos

[Paracelsus]

Is direct3D a must for Sallo to run without crash?

I am trying to run UO on VMware client. Razor is working now. Now, setting up Sallos and has encountered some technical problems.

Pretty sure it's required. If you're getting an error message do you mind posting it? Maybe people can be more of a help with that.

The error when I start up sallos is:

System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'Sallos.Segments' threw an exception. ---> System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'Sallos.Segment' threw an exception. ---> Error in the application.

On my VM client message log, I have the following messages:
"Hardware graphics acceleration is not available."
"No 3D support is available from the host"

You need directx.
I take it you're on a Mac?

 

[Paracelsus]

yes, I think it is directX related. I run "dxdiag" and it shows me my version is 9.0c. On the file tab, the file system.dll is missing. On the display tab, DirectDraw Acceleration is enabled. Meanwhile, Direct3D Acceleration is "Not Available" with the "Disable" button dimmed.

Good luck

Thank you. I guess that the problem stems from the display driver on the vmware client. Probably the vmware host system problem. Yes, I really need some luck to solve it.
