fix CREATE_NO_APPROPRIATE_DEVICE

[FreeWar_official 18]

How many people found this error on pserver or Official Metin2? With Windows >= 8 we found this problem and we have fixed with the compatibility checker but this is not the best way!

The real problem is this string on the source of client

EterLib/GrpDevice.cpp

if (!ms_kD3DDetector.Find(800, 600, 32, TRUE, &ms_iD3DModeInfo, &ms_iD3DDevInfo, &ms_iD3DAdapterInfo))

 The application go to find the default resolution "800x600" but this is not the correct way! With new generation some computer have deleted the 800x600 resolution and this cause problems!

to solve this we change previous line with this:

if (!ms_kD3DDetector.Find(iHres, iVres, 32, TRUE, &ms_iD3DModeInfo, &ms_iD3DDevInfo, &ms_iD3DAdapterInfo))

We force the application to find the resolution we have set up with config.exe "I remind you that config.exe get the possible resolutions automatically"!

With this method the application always start without problem and compatibility setting.

 

And if you have a Metin2 Official?

if you have intel chip with the intel control panel you can add personal resolution

if not you can add the resolution with edit some things in the registry but i not suggest it if you not know how registry work!

 

Hope can i help someone!

What's the meaning of the "official" word in the headline tho?

I just want to say something about your "official" fix. Webzen didn't change anything like you did. If you want a proof, here it is. If you want to see with your eyes, here is the address from the official binary. (0x39004F0)

Yeah anyways, he just showed how to "fix" this issue. But you have to care about the resolutions, which your config.exe allows. For ex. if you set it to 1360x700 and your system doesn't have this resolution you will get the error anyways, becore he trys to create the client with this "set".

 

I guess YMIR just wanted to check the "minimum resolution" to play metin2, because anything under this resolution looks terrible

Best fix is to remove it

[MariusExygo 1479]

I had a case when a player couldn't start the client because on his laptop he didn't have 800x600 resolution as minimum, he had something like 1360x1024.

So as I said above, the best solution is to remove it completely.

If you change the size from metin2.cfg and put a invalid size metin2 can go outside of display or cause crash for you pc "If it is old"! 
With this method we check if the resolution of metin2.cfg exist in our resolutions!

Doesn't work well in every PC.

[Kori 516]

Bullshit, the game runs after your "fixx" only in 800x600 and not only for me 

[WeedHex 661]

Intel doens't work.

Still looking for a fix in 2019 in order to play on an official server, HP laptop from this year, I can't find Intel Control panel though.
Did anyone manage to solve this ?

Try this:

 

if (!ms_kD3DDetector.Find(800, 600, 32, TRUE, &ms_iD3DModeInfo, &ms_iD3DDevInfo, &ms_iD3DAdapterInfo) && !ms_kD3DDetector.Find(1024, 768, 32, TRUE, &ms_iD3DModeInfo, &ms_iD3DDevInfo, &ms_iD3DAdapterInfo))

Search and delete this code in ur source:

 

if (!ms_kD3DDetector.Find(800, 600, 32, TRUE, &ms_iD3DModeInfo, &ms_iD3DDevInfo, &ms_iD3DAdapterInfo))
        return CREATE_DETECT;
