DB - Graphic issues.

arcaneKaleidoscope · 2015-06-04 15:35:53 UTC

Hello, i just downloaded DB on steam and when i enter in Loading Screen, after its done loading the screen is changing in different colors and then all black and in left top corner says “Could not find resource”.Also, in taskbar when i open the game its: Dirty Bomb(32-bit, DX9), is this normal?
I have Windows XP Proffesional version 2002 SP3, intel® Core 2CPU, 2.01 GHZ, 2 GB.
I hope you can help me, thanks!

Well it looks like you definitely running below minimum specs.

Minimum System Requirements:
OS: Windows XP, Vista or 7
Processor: 2.33 GHz Dual Core
Memory: 3 GB RAM
Graphics: 512MB - GeForce 7800GTX or better
DirectX: Version 9.0
Network: Broadband Internet connection
Hard Drive: 5 GB available space
Sound Card: Generic Sound Card

Your processor falls a little short, but the most likely bigger problem is that you don’t meet the RAM or video card requirements(I believe, you didn’t post your graphics stats so I assume you are using onboard).

You would need to upgrade some hardware before being able to play. It looks like it might be cost effective to get a new PC rather than upgrade your current one, as your specs tell the story of a computer that is quite old relative to current technology.

Definitely something to be proud of. Most computer don’t last 5

Hello, my friend is having the same exact problem. Screen goes black, music plays and it says could not find resources, ironically he has better PC than I have. But it is running smoothly on mine, here are his specifications:

-Windows 7 ultimate 32-bit

-Intel core 2 duo e7400 2.80 ghz

-directx 11

-Nvidia GeForce 9400 gt

-4 GB Ram

For comparison mine are:

-Windows 8.1 64-bit

-Intel core I3-3110M 2.4 GHz

-4 GB Ram

-Nvidia GeForce 720M

Any ideas how to figure this out?

Thx for your time.

DB required a 64bit OS to run. Your friend has a 32bit OS while you have a 64bit.

misspo · 2015-07-16 20:20:25 UTC

Well it’s funny because db don’t run the game in 64 bits

Ardez1 · 2015-07-16 21:06:41 UTC

It has minimum virtual memory requirements that a 32bit OS cannot provide.

Birdous · 2015-07-17 07:53:43 UTC

Thanks a lot! I thought it can run on 32-bit OS, so I was totally overlooking it. But he should be able to resolve this quite soon as he will have the ability to upgrade to 64-bit Win 10.

Having the same exact problem. Here are my laptop’s specs:
-Windows 8.1 64-bit

-Intel Core i5-4210U processor

-8.00 GB RAM

-NVIDIA GeForce GTX 860M graphics card

and this is also an Alienware 13

I really don’t know why this is happening.

Having problems? try this!

Hello guys/girls,

[THIS STILL WORKS AFTER THE NEWEST UPDATE!]

I have tried to find the fix for a couple days, but what i found out is that for me the fps drops were given by my HUD and minimap.
This is not mine, so credits to the guys who made this.
You can change this in the ShooterUI.ini folder, “MAKE SURE YOU CHANGE THAT IN "READ ONLY” in propeties.
And for my i used a costum Enigine file to, for the graphic, i have a GTX 970 but this worked the best for me so far, no more frame drops!

You can find it here: Documents\My Games\UnrealEngine3\ShooterGame\Config

Try to find this “[ShooterGame.SGUIHUDPlayer]” and make sure that you replace all the same things with the text below.

My full UI and ENGINE you can find here: https://www.mediafire.com/?5ctu8w96ezwnbl7

— HUD fix (This wil change your HUD a little bit! but you will keep your nessecery stuff) —

READ CAREFULLY, AND CHANGE THE EXACT STUFF YOU SEE ABOVE.

And try to find: “[ShooterGame.SGUIHUDMiniMap]”

and replace it all with:

[ShooterGame.SGUIHUDMiniMap]

m_FiringFadeoutTime=0
m_MiniMapScale=0
m_DisplayPlayerIconArrow=false
m_ContainerScaleModifier=1
m_DisplayFiringEnemies=false

m_DisplayHeartbeatSensors=false
m_DisplayEnemies=false
m_DisplayAllied=false
m_DisplayTurrets=false
m_DisplayObjectives=false
m_DisplayPawnRequests=false
m_ClampObjectives=false
m_ClampAllied=false
m_ClampPawnRequests=false
m_MinimapPollThreshold=0

Hope this will work for you guys!
It worked sure for me and this plays allot better!
