Heya,

I get the following startup message when trying to play DF.

Hardware check failed - You cannot run Darkfall
*DX: No capable device

Anyone got a clue what that means and how to fix it? I downloaded the latest GFX, MB and soundcard drivers before installing DF.

DXdiag report below if that helps with info you need to help me out.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated :)

Ok, sorry for the long DX diag posts I showed here.

It turned out to be a GFX driver problem. After a re install of Win7 I installed DF right away so I could sort the problems out.
Worked fine, so I installed my drivers one by one to eliminate the problem :)

191.07 from NVidia caused the problem, 195.39 (beta driver) works just fine.

Stupid I didn't think of that, must have been the time of night...

Anyways, consider this topic closed :)
