ok, install directx 9
click start -> execute -> run
enter dxdiag then hit enter, check the direct 3d capabilities there and post the resulting log file

ah yes, and have you ever played other 3d games, if yes, which?

I have directx 9.0c and here is the result of the 3d test.

No problems found.
To test DirectDraw functionality, click the "Test DirectDraw" button above.
Direct3D 7 test results: All tests were successful.
Direct3D 8 test results: All tests were successful.
Direct3D 9 test results: All tests were successful.

I had all this before I even downloaded Ryzom.

Actually, I fiddled with the configurations a bit and actually got in.

I now have my Display options as follows:

Driver: 'Open GL' (2nd choice)

Parameters: 'Windowed' (with default choices)

It would appear that maybe the patches reset the configuration, so one should re check it to see if all settings are correct.

I surely hope I haven't jinxed it now ;-)
