rlackore Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 I suggest contacting Tech Support. Submit your plan file and they can take a closer look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskan_Son Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 I'm really not sure, but it looks to me like you have 2 potential issues...your graphics card and your memory...both of which are at or below the absolute minimum required to run Chief. Your video card is at the absolute minimum except for the Open GL version which is actually below the minimum. Your memory is also at the absolute minimum as well. Just to give you an idea of what we're talking about here, I have 16 GB installed on my system and at any given moment I'm typically using 5GB of that memory without doing much of anything at all. I don't even have Chief open and my system is using 33% or 5.3GB of that available memory...and all you have is 4GB. Bear in mind we're talking about minimums here. You're not anywhere even remotely close to the recommended specs for running Chief. If you do this for a living, I would really suggest you look at a new system.

Kbird1 Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 I would suspect it is the OpenGl support which needs version 3.3 in X9 but only version 2 in X8 . TechpowerUp says it supports OPGL 3.3 but ??? , I did read that Driver version 11.2 help OpenGL sometimes on the 4000 series cards. https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-02761/chief-architect-minimum-system-requirements.html latest ATI Driver...from 2013 https://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop/legacy?product=legacy2&os=Windows+8+-+64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 SketchUp has a Free CheckUp tool , it may give you more information about whether your VideoCard is okay or not for Chief too. https://help.sketchup.com/en/article/3000318 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
