I can only play for about 45 seconds, then i disconnect...

[Guest]

Hey, im having a problem with multiplayer vice city. When i connect, and join the game, i can only play for about 45 seconds, then i disconnect, and when i return to my desktop i get a D8D3.dll error. I downloaded the 1.1 patch but i dont think that matters.

If anyone has anyideas help me out

Thanks a lot,

Looks like a DirectX issue. Try installing DirectX 9, or reinstalling if you already have it installed. Also, try updating your video drivers if you haven't done that in a while.

i have the exact same problem and i got directx 9 and my drivers are up to date and it still wont work and its really annoying me

if you have problems with that dll try direct x 8.1 end user runtime and the windows update.

downgrading versions of DX is easier said than done

I'd reinstall the vefsino of DX you are running

if it continues to fail, contact your Gfx Card manufacturer..

though if its Nvidia or ATI then disregard the last statement as those are known to work fine.
