Hi guys! I solved problem with Mafia World editor. If you try to run it on Intel GMA (most netbooks and older laptops), you will get "Unable to create D3D device" error message. Installing latest GPU drivers or DirectX is not solution. To make MWE to run on your PC, download 3D Analyze software. You can esasilly find link by Googling it. I am using v2.36b.


 




When you have 3D Anylze installed, click on SELECT and pick editor.exe file.




There are lots of checkboxes there, make sure that only "emulate HW TnL caps" is ticked.




Click on RUN and editor should run now.


 




If you want, you can "play" with settings to make editor run smooth. Howewer the framerate is low, it's enough to edit Mafia when you are "in terrain".


 




Maybe there's an easier way to make MWE run on Intel GMA, this works well for me on Acer Aspire One ZG5 under Windows XP.
