thanks for the reply. Mine is a 256mb card. Will there not be a dumbed down version or do I have to accept this will never work with my setup and take it back to the shop ?

Quidprokuo the back of the box only says 256mb card

On top of this GAME say they cannot refund me as I have opened the box.

Please tell me there is a workaround for this problem..

Hello ? Is this the only tech support forum that Ubisoft offer ?

It would be good if there was a daily repsonse to these issues.

still no reply.... ???

I think I can offer a solution. It's not for everyone though. Firstly you need to solve the problem of the game itself. I recommend ebay-ing your game, or conning someone into buying it. Next you need to never buy a Ubi product again. Of course, like I said, this is not for everyone.

@ ryverrat

The 512mb QuidProKuo quoted was the recommended requirement, the minimum is, as you say, the 256mb mentioned on the back of the box.
Unfortunately, that doesn't help you much, as you have a 256mb Radeon X800, and that only has shader 2.0b hardware, and the game needs a card with shader 3.0 hardware.

ATI should really have moved to shader 3.0 support when Nvidia did, but at the time their excuse was that games hadn't even utilised shader 2.0 properly, personally, I think the real reason was a warehouse full of shader 2.0 chips they needed to sell first.

I have a perfectly good Radeon X800 256mb just sitting in the box in my desk drawer, as I had to replace it when games started coming out with only shader 3.0 support.

So the only "workround" you're looking for that would get the game running for you, would be to buy and fit a newer video card.

thanks BTOG46. Appreciate the response. I guess ill just have to upgrade to a better graphics card now.

Thanks again

Right, 512MB is recommended, not minimum. Sorry, I've been out sick with a nasty cold, getting caught up on stuff now.

I am computer ingorant.

Will the GeForce 8400 work with th Endwar game? It has 256mb with 4.0 Shader support.

The GeForce 9500 says 350w, the 8400 says 300w minimum for power supply, and my computer (Dell Dimension 4700) says it only has 305w. What does this mean? Will the 9500 not work on my computer at all? Will the 8400 work with Endwar?

Also, would a Radeon 9250 work?

I have the standard video graphics card in my Dell, and wish to upgrade it have no clue about all this stuff, but I seriouly wat it to work with Endwar.
