Exitcode 240

Last modified by Ketraar on 2024/04/15 12:32

You have landed on this page because the game detected an error and terminated.

This occurs when the game can not detect a graphics card meeting the minimum requirements. This can happen when you don't have a suitable card, or when you force the game to use a card which is not suited through the "-gpu <number>" parameter. With this commandline parameter it is possible to manually force the game to use a different graphics card, examples:

  • "-gpu 0" means auto-detect the best suited graphics card
  • "-gpu 1" means to select the first graphics card
  • etc

Trying to start the game on hardware that is below minimum requirements

The minimum requirements to run the game include a dedicated graphics card: NVIDIA GTX 780/970 or AMD equivalent.

Examples of hardware which does not  meet the minimum specs are: 

  • Intel(R) UHD Graphics 630
  • Intel(R) Iris(R) Plus Graphics 655

Requesting further support

If you have ended up on this page and are sure your device does meet the minimum requirement,  please send a mail to prioritysupport@egosoft.com (Subject: Exitcode 240 - device missing features) with a screenshot of the popup error and your dxdiag as well as the vulkaninfo attached. This Wiki entry explains how to create this information.
