If your computer says "Invalid Floating Operation" when you start up graal, disable directx.
I got tons of emails in [email protected] about that.
And I might as well clear it up here.
I also posted it on Classic.
Okay, thanks.

I always used to get that bug if I used the F8 menu in 1.41, but I guess that's ancient history by now

Thats what I did...disable DirectX..but only because the game slows down my 650MHz computer when its on oO
Maybe if Stefan or whoever would get some DirectX8.0a support......

The Death Star was destroyed, and the Empire routed. For now. But the fight would go on. I knew I had much to make up for. Marskan still hated me, and for a good reason. Raider still wouldn't talk to me, and a lot of young pilots had died because I had made them feel invincible. I doubted that I would ever be able to atone for my mistakes.
At least Lynia didn't hate me. Now that the immediate threat was over, she'd promised to spend more time with me. So I had hope. And I had a mission. Like Luke, I would one day learn to master the Jedi way and once and for all banish the taint of the Dark Side within me.

I've yet to have that error come up.

Just a pile of "Invalid Parameter" boxes come up that are damn near impossible to get rid of.

I don't get errors starting Graal, but it sometimes causes my computer to crash when I exit the game.

I've noticed that most peoples with DX 8.0 have the most problems with Graal. I don't understand it.

Well, the problem is not DirectX8,
graal has no problems with DirectX8
The problem is when you have a
graphics card driver which cannot handle
different directx versions.
Some people told me they have a voodoo3
card and get that error, but the thing
is : when you install the latest driver for voodoo
then everything is correct. If you don't do that
then the card might try to emulate Direct3D
which gives bad results but cannot be detected by
the game (thats why you must change the
video options in most games manually).

I have a Voodoo4 and the new effect things don't work.
I'll get the newest driver and see if that helps.

it didn't work. =(
Oh well. Hopefully when the new GE Force card comes out it will lower the price of the GE Force 2 card and I will trade my voodoo4 in and get a GE Force 2 which actually works.
