Ok after days of tinkering and trying to get this blasted game to work, I seem to finally have pinpointed the root problem. However, I can't seem to fix it...
First of all.
I'm running this on:
Intel i5 2.66GHz Quad-core
4.0 GB RAM
ATI Radeon 5850
...etc
Windows 7 64 bit Ultimate
Whenever Divinity 2 goes to a cutscene, the video starts to stutter then completely freeze my system. It usually requires a hard reset to get rid of. For the longest time I couldn't even make it to the character creation scene because the opening video would start then freeze. I finally took an early game save from someone else and started playing with everything working fine. However, the next time a cutscene came about the same problem presented itself.
Here are some of the issues in the game's error report...
1.Couldn't create renderer.
2.The game has detected that you have installed a different version of PhysX. If this is a newer version of PhysX than the one with which the game shipped, this may be fine, but should you encounter abnormal termination of the game, please visit the support page or contact technical support. (I'm not using an Nvidia card, so I don't know why it's trying to initialize PhysX. I don't have the PhysX drivers installed, but ATI doesn't support PhysX so it shouldn't matter, also PhysX isn't used in a .wmv)
3.Invalid Shader Model. Make sure your graphics card supports shader model 3.0 or higher. (I'm using ATI's newest drivers and have installed DirectX 9.0c posted on the main tech. problems thread)
4.Not enough video memory. Make sure you have at least 128 MB of video memory. (I have 1 GB of dedicated visual memory.)
I've tried running it using just about every different version of compatibility (Vista: SP 1, 2 and 3, XP: SP 1 and 2). I checked "disable desktop composition" as was suggested by many groups. I've tried just about everything I can think. Also, I can play the .wmv's when I am not in the game.
This game looks amazing, and the tiny taste just got me wanting more. I really would like to get this fixed. In the mean time, if anyone could suggest a way to just skip all cutscenes, I would be willing to do that just so I can play the game. I tried backing up and removing the cutscene files, but the game just gets hung up right before it transfers to the cutscene.
Sorry for the wall of text. I just wanted to make sure I included everything I've done.
