bubba145 Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 I recently installed the game and am trying to play but it sayd my shader model is 4 and i need 5. how can i fix this?
Henry d'Esterre Darby Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 What video card do you have? This is usually a result of not having a new enough video card.
bubba145 Posted January 22, 2015 Author Posted January 22, 2015 it says Intel R HD Graphics family (It's a laptop.)
Henry d'Esterre Darby Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Hard to say without knowing the particular chip version (such as 3000, 4000, etc).
bubba145 Posted January 22, 2015 Author Posted January 22, 2015 well i do have direct x 11. it says 3000.
Henry d'Esterre Darby Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Unfortunately, the video card itself must have the hardware to support Direct X 11. That particular Intel Card only supports Direct X 10. So even though you have DX11 installed, the card lacks the hardware to run it. You'll need to get new hardware to play the game I'm very sorry to say.
bubba145 Posted January 22, 2015 Author Posted January 22, 2015 well **** that sucks. and i won't be able to get a comp that can run it for another year probably.
Henry d'Esterre Darby Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Save your pennies! There are a number of very inexpensive laptops that could likely run it these days. Trust me though, before I realized a problem with my drivers on my computer, I thought I couldn't run it either and I was extremely crushed. So sorry to be the bearer of bad news mate.
bubba145 Posted January 22, 2015 Author Posted January 22, 2015 arg. was so hoping to play this game. wish there was a work around.
BungeeLemming Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 How u fix it? By buying a new grafics card. As hard as it sounds thats the only way you can solve that issue. Bevore buying a new laptop make 100% sure it provides shader model5 and directX11! btw: A lower end computer can easily run this game with nice FPS on low settings. GPUs get cheaper over the year. Make sure you have an eye on the upcoming AMD generation. Old generations will drop in price rapidly.
