There was a pc near the dumpster today. I decided to take it to my garage, Intel Celeron running 2 GB of ram on windows XP. Did a reload from its install CD, (which i found in the case and directions I found online. Downloaded a fresh version of the benchmark. Upon running it was prompted to Download DX9. Ran benchmark. score was less than 1k...... Opened character config posted my Screenshot this am. Sorry I don't see what the problem is..... Got this for free and plugged it into an old CRT I had... I bet it run better then I blow the dust out. http://imgur.com/XETaArF
the biggest issue people with PCs that cant seem to run it have is most certainly DX issues. the benchmark sees some of the DX libraries so it does not prompt them to install/updateThere was a pc near the dumpster today.

do a google search for DirectX Runtime Redistributable July 2010 <--running this will update and add the DX libraries needed and will fix most issues.

I'm still getting the DirectX fatal error 1000000. I did what was stated in the above post. It's just refusing to work for me which sucks. I just want to play with the Au'Ra![]()
At the FATE in Tokyo, they had the benchmark installed on Windows Tablets from the looks of it. You do not even need to run the benchmark to Print Screen a character and put it on Twitter. I mean the benchmark is a different button to the character creator.
the only info I can find about that error is the directx runtimes or video card driver software are usually the issue.
updated video card drivers might help this as well.

I'm gonna have to look online for the drivers for my laptop. I obviously don't use it to play FF haha. I think it'd die if I tried.
The benchmark is free to download. Twitter is free to sign up for. Unless you're running the benchmark on a toaster, you won't have a problem simply using it to create a character, snap some screenshots, then send your submission for the event.
Even console players have access to this (unless you don't have a PC/laptop/etc. which is kind of crazy in this day and age), so you only have yourself to blame for not participating (not blaming you though, EU guys. That was just a dick move on their part).
That was a Microsoft Surface Pro and while it is a tablet it is essentially a full PC in a tablet shell and they are far from cheap :x You could build a near top gaming PC for the price of one. The only reason I own one myself is because I use it for business travel and to use at work.
