    Error after 2.30 download

    hello

    i downloaded the latest update of the game to my netbook, an eee pc 1005HA

    i never had problems with the games update from 2.012 to 2.024
    after downloading the screen shows error which said failed to initialize player
    that Directx9 gpu model shader 2.0 is needed, and that my chipset only supports shader model 2.0.

    details in the error screen:

    failed to initialize player

    DirectX9 GPU (Shader Model 2.0) is required.
    Your GPU (Mobile Intel(R) 945 Express Chipset Family)
    only supports Shader Model 2.0

    i like the game i even supported it on KS but if i cant resolve this i may have to stop playing it alltogether.

    i hope someone can help

    Hi

    I have the same problem on my Samsung Netbook.
    The error message is exactly the same as above:

    DirectX9 GPU (Shader Model 2.0) is required.
    Your GPU (Mobile Intel(R) 945 Express Chipset Family)
    only supports Shader Model 2.0

    The browser version reads:
    Unity Web Player requires DX9 level graphics card.
    Make sure you have graphics card drivers installed.

    My drivers are all up to date (since 2010, gotta love xp) and I never had any problems before 2.03
    I hope someone has an idea what causes this, since I am limited to this netbook atm and I REALLY want to play.

    Edit: Seems to be a problem with the latest Unity Player update.
    I don't know how this affects the pc client but the only solution semmst to be to wait for the Unity Player to be fixed and hope they don't abandon the older GPUs.
    Im still open for other ideas

    hey new riddler,

    Unity 4.2.2 seems to be working. Idk if the upgrade to 4.3 supports older models.

    As for the pc client i hope somebody in support helps us.

    I think its an issue with the new Unity Player... prolly Kyle has a solution to it just like what swiftshader does, but without the watermark logo.
    Try this.

    So it is problem of Unity Web player. But looks like it is a bug, bcs it happends also on GPU which support DX9c like mine (Intel Graphic Media Accelerator 3150).
    Here you can see it : http://answers.unity3d.com/questions...r-working.html
    So there is a chance they will fix it.

    Thanks for posting that. It's great they are working on it because we have no choice but to move up to the latest Unity Player.

    I tried as what was suggested, still does not function. It reads like this:

    SE.exe-Application error:

    The instruction at 0x0ded56ab referenced memory at 0x0dafe030. The memory coul not be read.

    No problems with the pc client before why is the update not working?

    I am not sure if they will fix it or just say, ok those graphic cards are no longer supported (bcs its easier than making fix for few customers). I had question you mentioned, is here any choice to run se on previous version of Unity Player or you have to use the latest one? Bcs nobody had problems on previous one.

    Good news

    Unity Player has released 4.3.1 and now the web player does work for me again.
    Would be nice if the fixes could be implemented in the PC client soon because the performance of the browser version is a bit suboptimal.
    Still I#m really happy to be able to play again. Kickstarter here I come!
