Mafia

I get a "4205" error message when I try to start the game.

Solution:

This error will come up if any one of the requirements is not met on your computer; make sure that you met or exceed all the listed requirements for the game.

If you continue to get this error, go to Start > Run, and type "dxdiag" (without the quotes). When the "Direct X Diagnostic Tool" window opens, click on the "Sound" tab. Look about half way down the screen for an area labeled "Direct X Features", and a slider for "Hardware Sound Acceleration". Move this slider two notches to the left to set the acceleration at "Basic". Exit, and start up the game again. If you still have trouble, go back into the "Direct X Diagnostic Tool" as directed above and change the acceleration to None.

Next, again bring up the "Direct X Diagnostic Tool", and click on the "Display" Tab. Make sure that in the field labeled "Approx. Total Memory", which the memory on your video card, is 32MB or higher. If it says n/a, or shows a number of 31.5MB or less, the game will not load. If this number checks out ok, look below for three buttons that will allow you to turn on/off various Direct X features. Click the buttons to disable these features. Exit and re-start the "Direct X Diagnostic Tool", go to the "Display" tab, and click the buttons to re-enable these features. Exit, and try and start up the game again.
