Got a bit of a stumper here: Read all of the post before just posting drivel about DX / Drivers not being installed!
hardware /software:
Win8.1_x64
DX11 up to date ( should back-support DX9 stuff ) and working - see later in the post.
Intel HD4000 on a core i5 with up to date working drivers - see later in the post.
Brand new installation of RO ( client has never been installed on this PC)
More than enough RAM
Issues:
the Ragnarok client does not see hardware in any way shape or form.
If not set to compatibility mode (Windows XP service pack 3) I get an initial "Entry Point Not Found" exception with the error message "The procedure entry point MiniDumpWriteDump could not be located in the dynamic link library C:\windows\system32\dlum9.dll"
followed by the expected cannot init D3D problem.
If set to windows XP compatibility mode the minidump error does NOT appear, I just get the expected cannot init D3D error.
Known working stuff:
I know DX9 and my video drivers are working, I can play Final Fantasy 14 with no issues, as well as several different graphics rendering programs that use DX and my GFX card that I use all the time. Dxdiag also does not report any issues, and reports that DX 9-11 are all working.
Has anyone run into similar errors when valid drivers ETC are installed AND got RO working? Not even sure where else to look at this problem right now, I don't have the time to mess around re-installing older versions of drivers to see if it is an Intel driver regression.
