How about this, morgan. If u are not actually going to help, don't post. 1) It adds useless stuff onto the server and 2) It just pisses people off. Sacarsm it NOT appreciated. And, not everyone can buy a new graphics card immediately. By the time they can buy a new one now, the newest on the market then may be still out of budget, but game dev will still be bastards and develop their games based on the new standard. So, don't be such a bastard. Leave that to the graphics department of game dev companies.
As for Fa7, I am also having this bloody problem. Wonder why the devs can't just set a lowest setting that doesn't require shader 3.0. Hopefully can get a new card, but meanwhile, still trying to bypass. If i find one that works, i'll post again.
