Skar221 Posted January 19, 2005 Posted January 19, 2005 LockVertexBuffer I just got a game called Counter-Strike: Source. I have an ATI 9800 Radeon graphics card, and plenty of memory so I figured my computer should be able to run it. However, whenever I try to load a server, the program closes and a message comes up that says "Failed to lock vertex buffer in CMesh0X8:: LockVertexBuffer." Can someone please help me :confused: Quote
ThePentiumGuy Posted January 19, 2005 Posted January 19, 2005 Get the latest udpdate for the game and get the latest DirectX update and get the latest drivers for your graphics card.

Skar221 Posted January 20, 2005 Author Posted January 20, 2005 I did what ThePentiumGuy said for my problem, but now I have a new problem. I get this now "Internal Driver Error in IDirect3DDevice9". I am getting so frustrated what can I do. If it is because i need to get the new drivers for my graphics card, how do I do that. I have an ATI 9800 Radeon 256. If you can help me I would be verrrrry appreciative. Quote
IngisKahn Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 My guess would be that ATI has drivers for your ATI card. Quote "Who is John Galt?"
EFileTahi-A Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 Did you tryed to use a search engine (google) with the games error message? or CS homepage or something Either way... - visit http://www.ati.com and try to update your graphics card driver - try to reinstall DirectX9.0c - try to disable your "system try" programs Quote
Himo Posted January 21, 2005 Posted January 21, 2005 ATI Drivers just suck. I got a 9600 and boy it hangs quite a bit, next time I'm going for the GForce cards. Quote For questions about VS .net extensibility, please fire at me! :) For readability, please use the [ CS][/CS ] tags
IngisKahn Posted January 21, 2005 Posted January 21, 2005 I've had the opposite experience. Quote "Who is John Galt?"

Agreed IngisKhan :thumbsup:. I've found ATi to run a little cooler (as in, less hot). However as of now (1/21/05), NVidia holds a clear advantage.

Napivo1972 Posted January 21, 2005 Posted January 21, 2005 this looks like a Direcx problem have you reinstalled diredctX9 latest release after you intalled the latestdrivers? and tried to run dxdiag? Something I learned a long time ago; if you intall new video drivers reinstall directX..... I have no idea why but it solves most problems. Quote

However as of now (1/21/05), NVidia holds a clear advantage. Microsoft Crash Analyses concluded that 75% of the hangups were caused by drivers, where 50% came from ATI drivers. 'nuf said...

IngisKahn Posted January 24, 2005 Posted January 24, 2005 It's common knowledge that most of the pre-catalyst drivers were flaky. But they definately turned the corner with catalyst. Quote "Who is John Galt?"
