Just reported this bug through CS:S, and am wondering whether anyone else here has seen it?
Cheers,
Krusty
About 90% of the time I have trouble starting up CS Source.
I get a "failed to initialize video - resetting to defaults" message. If I select Ok it always fails again and re-displays the message. Selecting Ok loads the game in an 800x600 window.
If I now change my video settings to 1024x768 full screen the game crashes with an exception.
As I say, once I have got the first error it always ends up in the crash, so I have to get lucky first time around...
I have XP Pro SP2, a Radeon 9800 Pro (128Mb) with up-to-date drivers, and DirectX 9.0c.
All my mobo drivers are up-to-date aswell.
I think the problem may be related to the fact that I am running a dual monitor setup. My primary display uses the DVI out on the card, my secondary uses the analog out.
I really hope you guys have some ideas because it's quite a annoying problem, and if I have trouble starting HL2 I'm going to be gutted
The game runs like a dream when it's runs ok, I get 102 fps in the stress test. I must say I'm incredibly impressed with the performance you've got the Source engine running at. I owe you all a beer
Has anyone else been having this problem?
