[8.02][Bug/Graphics] 3D Video distorted

from Elemental Forums

So apparently this is what happens when you don't read the Beta Requirements section carefully enough...

According to the information here, it appears my video card is not DirectX 9.0c compatible, since it only has Shader 2 functionality.

Not surprisingly, the 3D video looks terribly distorted, as you can see in the linked screenshot: http://img580.imageshack.us/img580/1640/graphics.jpg

Is there anything I can do, or am I just out of luck?

Here is also a pastebin link of my dxdiag info: http://pastebin.com/6uEad3jg

Post your exact Graphics card or lack of? Probably would help.

All Intel GPUs aren't. BTW.

Look at his dxdiag.

I don't know if there is anything you can do.  It looks serious.  Try turning off advanced lighting?

Sadly, like I said. I honestly don't know of any games that have been made that support any of the Intel "GPUs", they are intended to provide minimal performance for productivity such as email and office.
