Downloaded dungeon runners today,
and when i click "Play" I get an error
Error compiliging shader game/effects/2.0/silhouetteblit.fx.
How do i go about fixing this?
i cant play the game at all ^_^

First, try this:

Go to the folder you installed DR in, by default C:\Program Files\NCSoft\DungeonRunners.. or something similar. Find the file User.cfg somewhere (maybe in some folders there), and paste this in:

[Display]
Pipeline = VFPF

Ofcourse, if the [Display] already was standing there, just paste in Pipeline = VFPF (MIND the spaces.)

Save and restart the launcher + DR. Report back if it doesnt work.

dont see any User.cfg folder

The game was down for an upgrade. Try now. YOu will have to download a new version.

This error is normally due to having unsupported graphics solutions/chipsets, but can occasionally be attributed to bleeding edge hardware/drivers.

The user.cfg file isn't created until you login to the game for the first time. Since you can't do that, you have to create the file. The easiest way to do so is to copy the default.cfg file and rename the copy as user.cfg. You need to make sure you have rights to write to the directory. You also need to make sure the user.cfg file you just created isn't read only. Assuming you have the necessary privileges to modify the file, you can then follow the instructions for adding the pipeline fix into the newly created file.

still the same error.

Please make sure you have the latest DirectX runtime. Check out this link to download the latest goods:

1) Did you try creating the user.cfg file by copying the default.cfg file, as I suggested above?

2) It looks like you have the latest driver version for your chipset. I sincerely hope you're able to get the game to run, even at minimum settings, because I love seeing new players enjoy the game.

After downloading tonights patch I am receiving the following error -

Package Init Error! Failed to init package 'game'. Verify your Dungeon Runners installation.

Working fine before the todays update

dxdiag attached

Ok .... downloading the whole game to repair the patch...nice!

Why isn't service pack 3 installed? Windows update should have asked you to install it.

look at this driver....

I run DR on WinXp witout SP3--it is not necessary for the game. However, you may need to update your .NET framework. Look for it in Windows updates.

Okay what i did Is (right click) On Desktop-Properties-Settings-Advanced. Now click on Troubleshoot- Make sure Hardware Acceleration Is Set to Full =D Worked for me =) tell me if i helped you =)
