maybe dx9.0c/shader3.0 is the intended min. video card req. (e.g. Intel G965 Express Chipset)
Are the current Elemental betas intending to work with directx 9.0c and Vertex & Pixel Shader 2.0? And does Stardock want these dx9.0c/shader2.0 Graphic Bug reports? Minimum video card requirements. Elemental will require a DirectX 9.0c video card. While it currently uses Shader Model 2 only and will probably work on DirectX 9.0 a/b cards, we will not be guaranteeing that it will. Listing of video cards and which versions they support are available for
Vamdenburg, next time try... in the black/white window out of app. (start paint) (edit-paste) (save) upload to screencast.com, etc. however, I like to close the app. to get a correct debug.err at the same time, rather than alt-tab, but for a simple screen capture alt-tab is quicker...
