GECK assertion error?

[shiholude]

Sure enough, that fixed it!!

 

If you have the same situation where you have dual processors, simply do the following:

1) open your NVidia control panel

2) under the left waterfall menu, expand "3D settings"

3) select "Manage 3D settings"

4) in the right pane, select the "Program Settings" tab

5) for #1, click on "Add"

6) goto where you installed the GECK (for me, I put it in my Fallout3 directory), and chose the "geck.exe".

7) for #2, select "High-performance NVIDIA processor".

8) leave everything under #3 as is, and click on "Apply" in the bottom right corner.

 

The GECK should load and operate properly now.

Solved my own problem. My PC has two graphics adapters - an Intel integrated adapter and an NVidia GT 525M. GECK crashes with the assert above if I launch it on the Intel adapter. It runs correctly if I use the NVidia adapter.

 

If you get this error, try using something other than Intel onboard graphics if you can. YMMV.

My PC has an integrated graphic ADM Radeon [something] and I've installed right now my brand new Nvidia GTX 560 Ti on the motherboard. Before this one, I had another Radeon, a series 4600 or something and actually the GECK often gave that Assert error when loading some plugins and SOMETIMES it crashed. Now with the nvidia it ALWAYS crashes after returning the assert error, even if I just load Fallout3.esm (and my Fallout 3 game crashes too when loading games after mouting this damn nvidia...).

You say it is better to choose to launch GECK using the nvidia adapter rather than the integrated graphic adapter, but how it is done? How can I choose which graphic adapter I want to use to launch an application? (sorry for the n00bness).

I tried doing as you say but for #2 I get a serie of choiches, not only one (that would have been simple) like this:

(sorry I didn't know how to change the cp language to English but it should be clear that there isn't a single option)

And there is no #3.
