Forum:Can't start Goty

I've installed, but whenever i try to start the game a window comes up that says "failed to initialize renderer. hardware T&L required but not by adapter". is there anything i can do so havn't spent 50 dollars on nothing? Hero of the wastes 20:17, November 8, 2009 (UTC)

Seeing as it is saying something about rendering it could have something to do with your graphics cards, but I could be wrong so don't go that 100% - RASICTalk 22:01, November 8, 2009 (UTC)

"Hardware T&L" means Transform & Lighting. Only a select few Intel chipsets actually have direct support for this, but most newer motherboards have chips new enough to run T&L games by default. It says "not by adapter" which means it's NOT your graphics card, it's a problem on your mainboard. That means you essentially need a new computer to play FO3, as no software update will fix this.
