starcraftmaster Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 hey am trying to play star wars republic commando it works great but theres some textures missing like the guys are white and some other things look whitenow i think its because i have pixel shadow 1.0 and the game needs 1.1 so is there any way to force 1.1 or some thingin riva turner i cant force pixel shadow 1.1 because the box is shaded inBut i can force vertex shader 1.1Pixel Shader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starcraftmaster Posted October 24, 2008 Author Share Posted October 24, 2008 Aw so i have to live with missing textures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puntoMX Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 I used some NV18 (440MX) with the 93.xx drivers (could be the Omega versions) and got no texture problems with games, however, I did miss some transparency in some games like the windows from the cars in NFSU2. Did you play with the AGP Aperture size? I don´t think that the missing textures is a shader problem... but then, it has been some time that I played with older cards… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weEvil Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 (edited) If your card doesn't support the pixel shader, then get a new card.Otherwise, see if there are some tweaks you can do to force a lower pixel shader version. Google is your friend here. Look for some tweak guides, it might contain that info. Edited October 26, 2008 by brucevangeorge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starcraftmaster Posted October 26, 2008 Author Share Posted October 26, 2008 i want to force a higher pixel shader not lower lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weEvil Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 i want to force a higher pixel shader not lower lolI mean force the game to lower the pixel shader to work on the card. It won't look as nice, but it will at least display.You can't force the card to use a higher pixel shader. The hardware does not have the extensions for it.

starcraftmaster Posted October 27, 2008 Author Share Posted October 27, 2008 ya but it needs 1.1 and i think i got no pixel shader so whats lowering gonna do if i can lower it (not sure if i got no pixel shader or 1.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weEvil Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 ya but it needs 1.1 and i think i got no pixel shader so whats lowering gonna do if i can lower itNewer pixel shaders have more instructions. Like for specular, bump mapping... etc. If your card cannot understand, it either does not use the 'extra' instructions or skips everything altogether. In this case its skipping everything.Lowering it will force the engine to render the textures in the older pixel shader. The textures won't look so nice, but they should display.(not sure if i got no pixel shader or 1.0Check the specs. Give me all the info on this card.
