Any way to turn off shading with a custom client ?

Postby Sollar » Mon Sep 21, 2015 12:05 pm

It seems that your video card is too old to support Haven & Hearth, but there may also be a chance that a driver update could fix the problem, so you may want to try that. Specifically: Graphics context does not support programmable shading


I'm trying to run Haven on an antique PC that has no shading support (built in old as hell graphic card). The PC used to run legacy HnH, also I can run Salem with some minimalist client. Is there any chance of such a client for the New Haven too ?

What the error refers to is GLSL support. It's not directly related to shadows, it's how the whole graphics engine runs.

While in theory someone could write a client that doesn't require GLSL, in practice it's a monumental undertaking and nobody is going to do that.

Upgrade your potatoes :P

Oddly enough my laptop runs the main client fine, but cannot run any custom clients due to the shader problem

If you pay someone money, they might consider working on it. But re-writing all the graphics code to not use shaders would be a pain in the ass to whoever tries to do it.
