Nice 4k intro on the video but I didn’t manage to run it. I put the d3d9_33.dll in the intro’s dir but nothing to do. Maybe an issue with the latest ForceWare 185.66 I use. Fortunately Youtube exists! Anyway, this is a Direct3D 9 real time 3D intro released at the Breakpoint 2009.

From the elevated.txt:
believe it or not, this was running at 30 fps in a gefoce 7900 at some
point, but size optimizations forced us to ask you for a pretty decent
graphics card, like a geforce 8800gtx or hd4850. please, make sure you
have d3d9_33.dll somewhere there. also, you only need windows xp.we are providing the following versions of the intro:
elevated_1024x768.exe (letterboxed)
elevated_1280x720.exe
elevated_1280x1024.exe (letterboxed)
elevated_1440x900.exe (letterboxed)
elevated_1920x1080.exe
elevated_1920x1080_hq.exethe last version (hq) contains more geometry than the others. only for
those who have monster machines or are living in the future.
that is fucking amazing. Really impressive in 4kb.
Amazing, it really set a new standard for 4Kb demos…
at the age of games with avg size of +10Gb this 4k intro is truly amazing…
but the really amazing thing is who managed to run this, i tried on 4 diffrent pc’s with diffrent settings and all failed 🙂
ilm > I’m glad to know I’m not alone to have problems with the demo…
Pretty irritating to deliver 4K of code noone can run. Giving me 8K that will run would make me much happier than 4K i can’t do anything with.
Maybe the d3d9_33.dll needs to be put in the windows/system32 directory..
To run this demo ….
Download Crinkler from http://crinkler.net/ and run it on the EXE like this … crinkler /RECOMPRESS elevated_1280x720.exe.
This will recompress the 4K exe made by an older version of crinkler and make it compatible with vista and 7. Don’t worry, crinkler will make a new EXE file called Fixed.exe and it will use the same options used when the 4K Intro was first packed with crinkler.
