JuiCe: Hello. Inside the directory I found config.cfg, not autocnfig.cfg. But that's not a problem, since the game doesn't auto-configurate itself at each instance. I've set everything to low. The default dxlevel is 9.0, and the default setting for portal render depth is 1 (I tried with 0 too). I added -dxlevel 80 to the shortcut target area (as well as -dxlevel 90), and, unfortunately, the game still crashes.
As far as I understood, you were with the same problem (The game crashed after the first portal, and startup parameters were not solving the issue), but you managed to run the game by setting everything to low? Wow, is it possible that everysingle possible solution doesn't work with me? :( In any case, I really appreciate your help. There must be something to do, it's just a matter of time. :))) On 23 abr, 11:47, JuiCe <[email protected]> wrote: > I had the same problem. Baby steps.
