thumbgreen Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 When I start the game I get as far as the initial loading screen before it shuts down. This is what the client log shows: directx initialized InvalidArgumentException occured: effect data/shaders/noise.fx could not be validated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxelware Team koonschi Posted May 25, 2013 Boxelware Team Share Posted May 25, 2013 Most likely your graphics hardware does not support shader model 3.0. Try updating to the latest drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thumbgreen Posted May 25, 2013 Author Share Posted May 25, 2013 I was afraid it might have been something like that. My graphic card doesn't support shader model 3.0 and the latest drivers for it are 6-7 years old (at least I couldn't find anything newer online nor could the Device Manager). Fortunately though, I was planning on getting a new computer in the upcoming weeks; so I'll just have to wait until then to try out the game and lend a hand in the bug hunt. Curiously is there not a minimum requirements list or did I just overlook it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxelware Team koonschi Posted May 26, 2013 Boxelware Team Share Posted May 26, 2013 No there isn't. The full system specs are not clear as I haven't though a lot about scaling the graphics. I'm doing a port to openGL soon, so there's no reason to further think about directx graphics requirements. The hardware hungry part of the game is the planet generation, which takes place completely on the graphics hardware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akagetsu Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Porting it to OpenGL means I'll get to be able to play it on Linux, right? That would be ideal! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxelware Team koonschi Posted May 26, 2013 Boxelware Team Share Posted May 26, 2013 The linux port is the thought behind that ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
