Title: Optest doesn't run
Post by: AKFloppy on August 23, 2005, 08:20:20 PM
I started the test and carefully noted each step of the instructions.  Upon moving to step two of the test I ran the Optest.exe file from the AH2 folder and I got this error code:
Initialization failed with -9 mainWLD_Failed -1

My computer is an AMD 64bit 939pin 3500+.  My system memory is Kingston HyperX and I have 1024MB.  My video card is an nVidia PCIe 6800GT with 256MB video mem.

I downloaded the latest version of Optest.exe for the test after it failed in the previous version with the same code.
 
Thanks,  AKFloppy

Mine doesn't run anymore either... I checked all the boxes in video settings, all the optest options that is.

After I checked these boxes I hit apply, and then the game froze and kicked me to desktop.  Now I try to go offline and the terrain loads, and it looks like its about to start up, but it just CTD's again.  :confused:

Thanks guys, it is in my AH2 folder, as I said, I followed the directions exactly.  (I am a Computer Tech as well as a teacher of technology in public schools)  My AH2 folder is up-to-date.  It does have optimized views and Waffle sounds.  I do tend to keep a backup version of my "settings" folder as a backup in the case of a system crash.  It is a good way to keep my personal settings but I don't know if it adversely affects the test or not.
     I do have AH2 installed in a Program Files folder on my E: drive not my C: drive.  I don't know if this could adversely affect the test as well.  Well, I hope this information is of help.  Thanks!  AKFloppy
