Can anyone tell me what the problem is when my game freezes up and I get the following message. "Failed To Create Vertex Buffer"

It ran out of memory. Would you tell us a little about your computer? Maybe there is a easy fix.

It is a Dell OptiPlex 745 and I am running Windows 7. Don't know what else you need.

Graphics card details, CPU Details, how much ram. I see it is a pretty old computer. Maybe doesn't have the minimum specs to run TS2017.

I hope this is what you need: Nvidia GeForce 200
8.00 GB RAM (3.00 GB usable)
6300 CPU @ 1.86 GHz

These are what DTG say are the minimum requirements to run TS2017.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
MINIMUM:
OS:Windows® 7 / 8.1
Processor: 2.8 GHz Core 2 Duo (3.2 GHz Core 2 Duo recommended), AMD Athlon MP (multiprocessor variant or comparable processors)
Memory:4 GB RAM
Graphics:512 MB - 1GB with Pixel Shader 3.0 (AGP PCIe only)
DirectX®:9.0c
Hard Drive:40 GB HD space
Sound:Direct X 9.0c compatible
Other Requirements:Broadband Internet connection
Additional:Quicktime Player is required for playing the videos
Graphics:Laptop versions of these chipsets may work but are not supported. Updates to your video and sound card drivers may be required

So, what do I need without spending a ton of money?

At least an nVidia GTX 750, which is just over $100 new. Make certain to check your PC's mobo slot compatibility before purchasing though.

And your power supply.

Yea you will need a larger power supply if you get a new graphics card, also you want to make sure the Mobo (mother board) will accept the card.
The chip sounds Like an AMD Chip, But I wouldnt be too sure about that...But it is very underpowered, you might want to invest in a larger chip. possibly a Intel core 2 duo or something around there, those do fit in the optiplex series if im correct. Also, You may want to upgrade to windows 7 64 bit. I can tell you are running windows in 32 bit mode due to the fact that you only have 3GB of your ram available to use when you have 8 on board.

So things you want to Do/get:

-New Graphics Card
-New Power Supply Unit
-Upgrade Windows to 64 Bit
-Upgrade Chip

Good catch Zack. The 32 bit windows is probably the number one culprit in that error message you got.

OK, according to Staples I am up to $665.89 and counting, and that's not including installation.

Try NewEgg. I have a GTX960 I'll sell you for cheap. Again make sure your mobo will accept it.

This is what Staples came up with: Amazon:
Intel Core i3-6100 3.7 GHz Dual-Core Processor - $109.00
Gigabyte GA-H110M-S2H Micro ATX LGA 1151 Motherboard -$59.99
Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB harddrive - $49.99
Zotac GeForce GTX 1050 2GB Graphics Card - $99.99
EVGA SuperNOVA NEX 650W 80+ Gold Certified- $79.94
LG WH14NS40 Reader - $48.02

Newegg Parts:
G.Skill Aegis 8GB DDR4-2133 Memory - $52.99
DIYPC Solo-T1-R-ATX Mid Tower Case-$25.98
Windows 7 64 bit-$139.99

Honestly that chip will not last too long. Especially with AMD disrupting the industry with new thoughts on multi-threading. Note that Intel's next Skylake-x release will be multicore/thread like Ryzen. Also keep in mind any new chip will need windows 10 as Microsoft is locking out older chips. I think this started with Skylake months ago.
