On launching the game I get "Configuration Error your video card does not have enough memory to play the nomad soul"

All 3 Render Options have been tried but all 3 do not give me an option to set the resolution either.

In the mean time I am searching to find the game Configuration Files to manually set

I'm having the same issue. At least the game is gog, so half of the battle is won.

I email the Support department along with the DxDiags and what I did, try to do to make it work.

Modify the properties of "Runtime.exe", most exactly its compatibility settings. Run it as an administrator and disable display scaling on high DPI setting.

Is this working for someone with a amd 7970 3Gb?
It already showed these compatibility settings on my desktop icon by default.. but still getting the gfx memory error

Try setting it to "Windows XP (Service Pack 3)" compatibility mode.

It's that 3gb that's the problem. It seems that Omicron wont start up if you have 2gb or more free video memory when you try and run it. You can either try and run something else beforehand to eat part of your memory, or if you hang around for a while an official fix should turn up. Not sure if there's any compatibility settings that hide a part of your video memory.

I tried all that before, I sent the email to the support team. They are still looking into the issue.

Ah, the joys of signed/unsigned integers... A 32bit UNsigned integer can represent up to 4GB, but a 32bit signed integer can only represent up to 2GB (the other half is used for negative numbers). So when the program uses a signed integer to ask for the amount of available video memory, the video driver stuffs an unsigned integer meaning 3GB into it, but the signed interpretation comes out as -1GB ("negative one gigabyte").

Goomers...

(Actually, I've made this mistake myself frequently, so I can't stand on a soapbox and point at anybody for this kind of error :) )

I also have a 3GB and 4GB cards both have the same issue one is a Nvidia and the Other an ATI I woner if my older 1GB 280 System will run no problems

System 1
X5690
12GB
GTX 680 2GB

System 2
I7 970
16GB
7970 3GB

System 3
W3680
12GB
GTX 675MX 4GB

All three tested so far and same Error and No REsolution Blank

Yups, that's exactly it. Although oddly enough, if I set the ram to exactly 0 it doesn't complain about it, but goes on to crash anyway in a different way later on.

The performance counter is another one that games often get wrong. Its frequency is specified as a 64 bit number, but they all treat it as a 32 bit one. Because no one will ever have a >4ghz processor, right? Just like 640k ram is enough for everyone. :p Thankfully windows has a compatibility shim for that one already.

anyone able to find a workaround yet? This can't be the first time this "Not enough of Video Memory" has happened before the game was on GOG.com.

I have the evga gtx 680 4gb ftw card, so I'm not gonna buy unil I see a fix. Too bad. I knew getting the 4gb was a bit of an overkill, but I play at 2560x1440, and my former 580 1.5gb card was running up against the vRam wall with Skyrim. Heh.
Oh, and I have a 680M 4gb in the lappy, so no go there, either. sheesh.

Here's a temporary workaround for you: (Edit: Removed now that the official fix is up)

Extract that to your omicron directory, (the same folder that Runtime.exe is sitting in) and run it, and it'll launch omicron bypassing the problematic bit of code.

A laptop with 4gb of video ram? o.O

Speaking of which, I wonder how these old games are going to cope when cards have more than 4gb of ram on them. Those versions of directx have no way of reporting numbers bigger than 4gb...
