Hmm... I don't think your video card is supported... That card is a good 5-6 years old

While one of the IC guys may be able to shed some light on the issue more specifically on Monday, and see if there is a possible solution, your video card is indeed below the minimum requirements posted for the beta (A DirectX9 card is stated; GF4TIs are DirectX8).

I too get the same error but am running DX9.0c on an ATI Radeon 9600/9700. The initial beta worked fine. It's the latest update (0.60[b].004) that fails.

I am having the same problem and I have a newer GeForce card. I also noticed that there is no entry in the "Application data" area that stores user settings. Could this be the problem?
