TSE on Intel g965?

by Gabe Huntington · in Technical Issues · 11/06/2006 (2:19 pm) · 4 replies

I'm trying to run TSE on an Intel 965 using the GMA X3000 integrated graphics system. I get the following error:

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

To the best of my research this chip supports Pixel Shader 2+. Now I know this is a new card, I've updated the drivers and Direct X. We'd like our TSE based product to support these chips. I'm trying to figure out whether this is a driver issue, Torque issue, or if the chip doesn't actually support Pixel Shader. Can anyone shed any light on my situation?

Thanks,

Gabe Huntington

I know that this series (which I have in my Vaio) has some issues with TSE. I think that it has more to do with certain buffers than it does the shader version (I'm getting this from some of the support on the C4 forums as well as the Intel forums). I've had several issues with it on a number of engines, from TSE to C4 to Lawmaker. I do not, however, have the same problems with Half-Life 2, UT2004, or Far Cry. It is much, much slower than my desktop adapters, though (which I paid through the nose for).

GMA X3000 according to INTEL even has native DX10 support.
Be sure it is a TSE issue.

I have this exact same problem.
You can find it in the General discussion page on the
Private TSE forum.I can provide the link later.
Im in a rush now(time to go home).

Its because there is no Transform Lighting Pixel Shader or Vertext Shader support written in the driver yet.
I think its the end of feb. when the full drivers to be released.
If you find something I dont, then please post it.
