SunofVich Posted December 28, 2004 Report Share Posted December 28, 2004 I got the game christmas day. And I asked Intel about my card and they said it does'nt have vertex shader of any kind. Well I decided to install it anyways and hope for some stroke of luck that it will work. Its pretty bad when a company does'nt know jack about there own products cuz this game works on my card. It only crashed on my twice so far. once when I decided to exit my CC then I downloaded the patch. and started the tutorial and it crashed on me when I tried to dock to my CC in a fighter. No matter this game is pure AWESOMENESS. And will make me loose sleep. can't wait to send a ground attack.

Cc Posted December 28, 2004 Report Share Posted December 28, 2004 I see...well post your systems specs anyway. The game should not crash at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cc Posted December 28, 2004 Report Share Posted December 28, 2004 Thanks for those specs..... Looks like you need to spend some money.. More memory and a decent video card. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The [budget] 82845G graphics chipset family do not have a pixel shader. They only have vertex shader 1.0UC does not require a pixel shader; only vertex shader 1.1If UC does not find a pixel shader, then pixel shader fx will fallback to the [legacy] fx from BCM Gold.It is highly unlikely that you will be able to run the game properly on your rig.This is all in the FAQ What is the Intel┬« 82845G Graphics Controller?

SunofVich Posted December 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2004 How is it inadequate? The game runs fine. the reason it crashed the first time is probably becuase it was the 1.0 version. The reason it crashed the second time was because I hit alt+d fast and probably bumped the Winkey. Other then that I've had no problems running the game it runs smooth no slowdowns. Now i'm off to finish the tutorial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SunofVich Posted December 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2004 If I had to spend some money on something on my computer should it be graphics card or memory? I don't have enough money to do both right now. Unless I get some cheap card like Radeon 9000 Reasone I ask is becuase sure the game ran fine in space but on the the ground...eeeeek. So you were right I was wrong (i'm gonna find myself saying that a lot am I.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spindoktor Posted December 29, 2004 Report Share Posted December 29, 2004 You need both badly. But if you can only do one, I would say a video card upgrade. But 128 MB of RAM is just not enough memory for XP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunofVich Posted December 31, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 I have just enough for a Radeon 9600SE from amazon.com. Its not the best out there but for the quality and price its the best I can get. Memory will have to wait but eventually I will get to that to.
