WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 So I have a more or less awful rig, but I remember actually using 3d shadows in CnC: Generals. Here's the thing: No other game supports them. Apparently it's my driver setup that doesn't support it, or maybe just my driver, or (hopefully not) my crappy rig. Is there any way I could get shadows to work on my computer? I have a Intel 915 video card, 512MB RAM, and a 516 Intel Pentium Processor, if that info helps. Thanks, WILL "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad!

mkreku Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 It's your video card. Or rather, lack of video card. The Intel 915 is not really a video card, it's something that's supposed to help the computer show 2D images on a screen. Not sure what I would call it. Anyhow, your thingie probably doesn't support hardware shadow mapping and almost every game out there uses that feature. Except C&C: Generals..

WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted June 23, 2008 Author Posted June 23, 2008 Well, ****. Thanks for replying. This just proves I need a new rig, bad. "Alright, I've been thinking.

Walsingham Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 Ouch. I hate to break it to you, since I had the same problem with my old computer. The intel chips don't really do anything besides ...um... well I know they don't do shadows and stuff. Drink beer. "It wasn't lies.

Gorth Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 Yeah, he'll probably find a way to rig 2 or more Intel chips together “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice.” - Albert Einstein
