Shattered Horizon encountered a fatal error and will be terminated.

Sounds like my video card maybe. Other thing is I could not engage anything on my desktop until I closed the crash window via taskmanager. I had Playclaw running in the background, but was not recording anything at all.

"IDXGISwapChain::Present failed: Hardware device removed. (DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED)"

Translates to:

"Hey, the video card driver decided to jump off a cliff. No can render without video card. Panic. Red alert. Man the escape pods."

[rofl]

This is a driver crash of some sort not really related to SH code - could be a card overheating, a bug in the drivers, a hardware issue or, in some cases, a card below the minimum requirements getting overwhelmed by the rendering request, causing the driver to commit seppuku...

[gamesturbator]

Well, I am using the new Nvidia beta driver--which I LOVE! The game looks even better now and all my stuttering days are over. Can't wait till they make an official version. Thanks.

Hope the Beta driver will become stable for you.

And regarding Jarnis's explanation, you rule! So nicely put in understandable words, I like that!

[gamesturbator]

Jarnis, you always write with such clarity. But I have Aspergers, so all your efforts are wasted! Just kidding.
