Problem with Source games.

<< < (2/3) > >>

keefy:
DX 7 isnt properly supported either, Its in there but not supported by Valve even in TF2.  You wont see the rollign explosions when running in DX7 either.

kraid:
C'mon ppl use at least DX8.
You cannot expect the game to run on a Stone Age PC.
We integrated fallbacks for things like the refract shader used on the bloodscreen to work with DX8 and even DX7 but many other things won't work beyond DX8.

I'm still waiting for the day when someone comes along to ask why he's not able to run this mod on his 2/86 computer.

Let me just go ahead and tell you that all Intel IGP cards are by definition graphic cards but they are uncomplete implementations of both OpenGL and DirectX itself.

Why? Because they should consume as less power as possible and only provide the basic functionality to run both a 2D and compositing desktop with Google Earth being the most demanding app.

Do not ever attempt to run any game on an IGP, unless it's ATI or nVidia.

That said... Source's bottleneck in speed is mostly in the size of your RAM. My graphics card is dead an I am currently using my onboard ATI HD3300 and GES is running like a charm on XP. PS: So get yourself a cheap ass 39,99 dollar/euro ATI graphics card with the second number in the versioning being equal or higher than 3 and the first number the highest. ATI has the most bang for the buck.

Why wont my 2/86 computer run Goldeneye Source mod? I was trying to get it run, but the .exe says your pc sucks ass, please upgrade that shitty pc.

You need the .com version of the executable, and you need to run himem first.
