Problem with Intel 945GM on Laptop

by Andrea Fraboni · in Torque Game Engine Advanced · 08/27/2007 (4:29 am) · 2 replies

I have a new laptop based on Intel 945GM !!!

When i run TGEA I have an error :

Failed to initialize Direct3D! Make sure you have DirectX 9 installed, and
are running a graphics card that supports Pixel Shader 1.1.

Can I execute TGEA in other way ????

I see online an emulator for Pixel Shader used for Splinter Cell ... Can I use it ??? And with which parameters ??

Thanks to everyone

If you prefer having 1-2 FPS, yes you can emulate it. Just oben the source of the GFXD3DDevice and comment out the line where it initializes it as pure device or initialize it as mixed device.

But the result will be really crappy performance wise, the CPU is not meant to do this stuff, it is no stream processor and will break down seriously. but if you disable shading, bloom etc etc and force Pix Version 1.1 it might work.
