Problem on launching the client

Post by Aruda93 »

Hi there!

I downloaded the client, but when i try to start the game a screen on the window appears.
It says: "It seems that your video card is too old to support H&H, 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."

My OS is Windows Vista Home Basic and i have the latest Java 64bit version.

Have you got any suggestion? I already tried to update the drivers of my video card, but this is at its latest version.

From what I can tell, the 965 is indeed so old that it does not support programmable shading, in which case the only recourse is to upgrade.

Depending on the actual chipset, you may in fact have a GMA X3000, which technically supports programmable shading in the hardware, but the Windows drivers nevertheless lack GLSL support.
