Shader model 3.0 still an issue... | Forums

[JIZZA777]

I still get the Shader model 3.0 not supported error even after adding the HOTFIX file I was directed to use. Is my system running a ATI RADEON HD 2600 model graphics card to crappy to even use a hot fix. I run full Adobe Creative Suite CS4 and DAZ 3D programing and evey thing works fine - how can my system NOT RUN a game simply off this?

Also I cant tell what PATH ### I have in use. Every time I start Settlers it runs the patch little window but it goes reaaly fast and finishes then goes to the "PLAY - LOGOUT" window. Where or how can I verefy my Path number?

Like I said before, that Hotfix file may or may NOT work, on your GPU. I think it was only for the ATI Crossfire/X2 cards, if I'm not mistaken. Btw, what happened to your OLD Forum account ?

Your GPU i.e. the ATI 2600, is on the supported list for this game, but it's a low-end card. Have you tried lowering down the in-game GFX resolution ? Which version of ATI Catalyst drivers are you using ? Have you tried Catalyst 10.5 ? Did you patch the game to 1.10, if that's the correct version needed ?

Anyway, only Blue Byte can comment more properly on this issue.....

That hotfix will not help if your card does not support Shader Model 3.0

You mentioned in the other thread that you're not sure what gfx-card model you are running.
Maybe you could post your system info here? (google for dxdiag)
