Shader model 5

[PandaASDF]

Hey!

 

I've got a problem which suddenly occured. The game tells me that I've got Shader Model 3 and I need Shader Model 5 to play the game. It really irritates me since there's no explanation where this suddenly comes from, since I could play the game smoothly without any problems before. I really need help, because I really like the game and want to play it ^^"

 

So can you please tell me how to fix this and let me play the game again?

 

Thanks for reading! Any help would be really appreciated.

What has changed on your system since you were able to play?

Check to see that your graphics drivers are up to date.

I would assume you have both an integrated video card that came with your processor as well as a dedicated video card.  I would bet that somehow the integrated one is taking over.

 

Try something like this:

AMD

 

 

nvidia

I haven't made any changes to my system whatsoever, so I'm not sure what the problem is.

I've double checked it already and they are up to date.

 

I've checked the cache too via steam, yet it didn't fix anything.

Please, send a crash report through Steam Launcher (3-rd option)

Please try what I suggested. Somehow you have something overriding your main video card.

Agreed. Try totally uninstalling your graphics drivers, and then reinstalling.
