WAR (Warhammer Online)

i was so happy when i was able to buy the game foolishly thinking it would run on my system,

FYI : the computer can play eq2 on high settings, guild wars, daoc, wow, and many other games btw.

so anyways.  i get the game installed and patched and and when i push the play button, i get a error occered  warhammer will now terminate.  so as soon as i get this i go in the  debug files to find out what the problem is, i look at the file as it state i fail to reach system requierments because my video card dose not support  VERTEX SHADER 2 ?. funny how ea mythic forgets to put that on the box when they made the game, so i can only assume i need to go out to the store to buy another video card and dish out a good 200 bucks just to play the game.

ea mythic ,  thank you for making a game that me and many others can't play.  with the developers making a game  where we had hopes to play get crushed due to a little program that can cater to only the people who would by chance have a video card that can be supported by corprate greed.

good bye warhammer, hello darkfall. i hope this game dose not dispoint as well.

 You should probably have read the system requirements before making your purchase. It's stated there which cards are supported.

Who the heck calls themselves a gamer and owns a video card that can't use Vertex Shader language 2.0?  Hell they're up to 3.0 now.    It was listed agse ago which cards are supported its your own fault for having no idea what your doing.

Obviously this is someone that common sense isnt going to work on... let him go.

I'm willing to bet that darkfall will have the same Shader 2.0 requirement.  A lot of games that have came out in the last year require it.

The only reason that may not be the case is the fact that darkfall has been in development so long they might not have had the option for shader 2.0 that long ago.

Actually shader 4.1, i have shader 4.0 though. Thank you EA mythic for putting on the box Shader 2.0 or higher graphics card. =P

yes it was listed with what video cards that may support the game,

windows xp , check

2.5ghz  p4 processor or equivalent , check

1 gb with xp  or more, check

hard drive at least 15 gb , check

direct x 9.0 or later and sound check and check

and in the tiny print, pixel shader 2.0, check with a 128 mb video card, check

nope, can't find anything about a vertex shader 2 on the box anywhere . hmm it must be hidden like some sorta code where if you take the letters and arrange them in a way you would come up with that.  man i knew i should of brought my cracker jack box decoder ring with me when i was looking at the box before i bought  the game,

thanks guys. ill be sure to do that next time  .

Darkfall will most definitly use Shader 2.0 or higher...Shader 2.0 has been around for almost 5 years now.   His video card must be ancient...which would explain why wow and daoc run perfectly..but not EQ2...i find it odd he can run EQ2 without shader language 2.0 unless the EQ2 engine allows for all shaders to be turned off (probably does since it was such a shitty resource hog at launch).

IF a game says Pixel Shader 2.0...that means Vertex Shader 2.0 as well...you can't use Vertex Shader 1.0 and Pixel Shader 2.0 together...the DLLs dont' work that way...even my OLD video card is better than your current one rofl.  Hell my friend' scrappy 7300LE is better than yours and it runs WAR Just fine with minimal lag.

vertex shader is a graphics card that is direct x 9 line. if you have a 2.0 pixel shader you have a 2.0 vertex shader.
