    Unhappy Problem running Killing Floor

    Apologies if this was posted earlier, but I searched and couldn't find anything helpful. I have Steam and Killing Floor installed, but whenever I try to run Killing Floor, I get this error message.

    Build UT2004_Build_[2004-11-11_10.48]

    OS: Windows XP 5.1 (Build: 2600)
    CPU: GenuineIntel PentiumPro-class processor @ 2095 MHz with 2047MB RAM
    Video: NVIDIA GeForce3 (9371)

    Error setting display mode: CheckDeviceFormat failed (D3DERR_NOTAVAILABLE). Please delete your KillingFloor.ini file if this error prevents you from starting the game.

    History: UD3D9RenderDevice::UnSetRes <- DetermineFormats <- SetupPresentParms <- UD3D9RenderDevice::SetRes <- UWindowsViewport::TryRenderDevice <- UWindowsViewport::OpenWindow <- UGameEngine::Init <- InitEngine <- FMallocWindows::Free <- FMallocWindows::Free

    I'm not sure what this means, and I'm still an Ubuntu newbie. I've tried deleting the KillingFloor.ini, its located in ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Steam/steamapps/common/killingfloor/System, but it keeps reappearing every time I try to start Killing Floor back up.

    I'm running 9.10 (Karmic) and I've got Wine 1.1.36, and the AppDB said Killing Floor should work. Please help!

    Try an older Wine version - Last time I tried Killing Floor was under Wine 1.1.32

    I'll update my version to 1.1.36 later this evening and see if I can reproduce your error - what nVidia drive version are you using and what graphics card do you have?

    Regards,

    My graphics card is an
    Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)
    and I'm using NVIDIA GeForce GTX 295 drive.

    Did you install the drivers? System > administration > hardware drivers.

    Wait... What? So you have two graphics card then? (in a laptop - because you are saying your intel chip is a mobile one).
