I just got Operation Flashpoint put every time I try to load it after clicking the preferences start button I get the message "cannot create 3d device". I checked supported cards and my graphics card SHOULD be supported as I have a Nvidia TNT II Vanta 16mb PCI and the TNT 2 is said to be supported.. so what exactly is the problem.

It can't be anything else as I have Direct 8, 383mb ram, 1050mhz cpu and have the required cpu

Plllease respond quickly as I am desperate to play this game. I am screamingggggg!!!!!!!!!!!

My computer sadly has no agp slot.. no idea why. So I ended up getting TNT 2 PCI. Why would you want a PCI instead of an AGP? I'd die to get a geforce 2.

Thank God it works. I have been playing it all day it's so much fun - very good graphics and gameplay. I had a few problems with slow down but I fiddled around and it runs quite smoothly now so thats good. Got the patch a minute ago so I'm all set to play throughout the night :)

Hope it works, OFP is a top top game. Check out the Codemasters website for the v1.1 patch, it's only 5mb so should take no time to download.

Have fun.
