It is called Dxnwd.exe and is downloadable from Levels4you under Red Faction in the Tools section. http://redfaction.levels4you.com/downloads.l4y?review=14329&cat=109 It does warn users to use under their own risks and the company that made it are not responcible for any problems it causes. I have asked my friend to try the following 1) Re-install DirectX 9.0c 2) Re-install Red Faction So far, those havent fixed the issue. I have also tried sending him my RED.exe file to see if it would work, that didn't work either. Red Faction seems to work fine for him though. It is just RED Level Editor.

But someone else is having this same problem and that didn't fix it for him MY RF MAPS     Spikey2005   Posted 8th Sep 2006 5:34pm L4Y Member Post 256 / 2126 You mean the Wakey dude on the other topic called "Unable to initalize....." This topic is also for him... There is no point in contacting THQ or Volation about this issue since they probley do not offer Tech support for older games any more. Check me out on Youtube www.youtube.com/themudkiphut     KERPAL   Posted 9th Sep 2006 7:37am L4Y Member Post 494 / 1353 I usually have that error when I try and open up RED again when I already have it running. I have fixed it before but I dont know how I did it... Maps     Spikey2005   Posted 10th Sep 2006 1:48am L4Y Member Post 259 / 2126 After doing another talk with Wakey, We have managed to solve the issue. This is very simple and easy to do. 1) Download your latests Graphics card drivers and save them to a easy location from www.ati.com or www.nvidia.com. 2) After download is finished, Un-install your currently graphics drivers installed on your computer using "Add/Remove programs" in the control Panel. Reboot your computer after this is completed. 3) After computer has rebooted, locate the drivers you downloaded and saved, Install these new drivers and go through the Setup Wizard. 4) Reboot your computer once again for the drivers to update with Windows. 5) Finally, load either RED or Red Faction and the error will no longer appear any more. Hope this helps anyone in the future . Many thanks to those who have tried to be a great support and offered their knoldges of this fatel issue.

I had it because my video card sucked real bad, and because of it it crashed rf and that message popped up. what i did was buy a new card, or just restart your computer. E_Darkness   Posted 12th Sep 2006 4:16pm L4Y Member Post 255 / 338 Quote 4) Reboot your computer once again for the drivers to update with Windows. I have always found that simply rebooting the computer fixes that problem when it occurs for me.

If you have a via chip set get the latest hyperion drivers from via's website ()__/) (O.o) (>< ),,     Spikey2005   Posted 14th Sep 2006 12:25pm L4Y Member Post 263 / 2126 I am not sure what wakey's computer specs are. All I can say is that those where the steps we took to solve the error problem. If you have other ways of doing it, then thats fine. But remember, that others have different computers to what you have and different steps are taken to fix their problem. Perhaps if we ALL had the same computer, everyones error would be fixed with one wack. Check me out on Youtube www.youtube.com/themudkiphut
