Guys when ever I try to play Legions, when it starts loading and error
comes up and says my Graphic Card doesnt support Pixel Shader 2.0.
I have Directx 9.0 and this is my Graphic Card

Plug and Play Monitor on Intel(R) 82915G/GV/910GL Express Chipset Family
Plz Help me.

Thats probably the problem.  I know there has been issues with onboard graphics.
The error you are receiving is exactly that.  This chipset does not suppot Pixel Shader 2.0.

Time to add a gaming graphics card to that computer or upgrade to one that has one.

MANN ok thanks ya.Also if i update my computer to vista will i be able to upgrade my card

you don't need to upgrade your OS, just buy a video card that isn't integrated to your motherboard, unless you're running on a laptop then you're pretty much SOL.

/Zhouedit:Cleared out unnecesary crap that added nothing to the topic under discussion.

The reason i want to upgrade is since graphic cards are kinda expensive i found Windows Vista for only 19 bucks ans since it will upgrade my card might as well.

wtf....windows vista will not upgrade your card. It will allow you to use DX10 that is all and Legions dosnt use DX10

Legions can use Dx10. I used a laptop that had Dx10 and it worked but i want it to work for my PC to

Thats because DX10 has exentions for DX9 and all below.

I know that. I was telling the guy above me

my computer also has that problem
my card is mobil intel(r) 945 express chipset family
i checked online and it said that it supported pixel shader 2.0, but this doesn't work 
I have directX 10
pls reply

I have a Ati Raedon 9250 and it has DX9 and im pretty sure it has pixel shader 2.0 because it will run call of duty 2

Why is it people keep going on about their DX version..... Its this simple

XP: DX9c
Vista: DX10

Both are capable of playing any game on the market (except those silly DX10 only games from MS but those can be modifed to run on DX9 anyway) provided you have powerful enough graphics card and 99% of the time an Integrated Intel graphics adapter is not going to be.


Did I say it doesn't support DX10? no. I said it dosn't use DX10. On a system with DX10 it will work with the DX9 Libraries and will not touch (use) DX10 specific functions.

Powersurge is mostly correct. Here's the technical details:

Windows Vista (all versions) installs both DX 10 and DX 9 on your machine, but unfortunately the version of DX 9 that it installs is the original DX 9.0, with no updates. In addition, the Vista automatic installer does not upgrade DX 9 to the 9.0C version (which is the most recent, and most robust).

When you are running IA games (or any game that uses Torque) on your Vista machine, it is in fact using the DX 9 version that is installed. Unless you install DX 9.0C manually on your machine, it will be using the original DX 9.0 version, which is outdated and slightly buggy.

Unfortunately, even updating to DX 9.0c manually isn't going to help those with Intel integrated video (especially the notorious 945 express chipset). The 2.0 shader support within the card/driver combination has been reported to have issues with some of the more advanced 2.0 shader features, and you should continue to check for updated drivers as they become available for the best chances of working with IA.
