Vertex shader or pixel shader??

by Caine Fowler · in Technical Issues · 03/17/2009 (3:17 pm) · 1 replies

I'm trying to work with TGEA to try it out and my laptop reports that I don't have the right version of DirectX or shader support. I checked and I do have DirectX 10. Then I went online and confirmed that my laptop has pixel shader version 2.0 support, but no vertex shader. Is this my issue? If it helps I'm working on an HP tc4400.

Thanks.

You mentioned DirectX 10, so I assume you're using either Vista or Windows 7. If so, you need to go to Microsoft's website and download DirectX 9 (which TGEA uses), since DX10 isn't fully backwards compatible.
