| Will Intel graphics card users EVER be able to see the new shadows and shaders? |

| Clone v.117:
No, Badspot made it so nobody who uses Intel can ever play blockland again because he was bullied in highschool by Intel and doesn't like them. |

What Wedge said. I have tried running the game on both Intel and Radeon graphics cards, with the same result; the Canvas Color bug thing. I'm not entirely confident on Intel Chipset being able to run the shaders, but shaders aren't even involved until the game is actually loaded, and it won't even start up. Besides, I can run the Minecraft shader mods with my graphics card :/ To be honest I'm not bothered I have shaders or not, because I know they're likely to lag horrendously for me, but the fact is that if they're the issue I can't even turn them off until I load up the game. The game won't load. And as for intel in general, I've been running Blockland for over a year on maximum settings with Intel Chipset Family 4 on my laptop with not a single issue even with a brickcount of over 100k. I also updated my graphics card on BOTH my laptop (Intel) and computer (radeon). |

I have an intel chipset, which could be the main reason. But I'm still not safe about that. By the way, does your laptop and computer have an intel chipset? |

If you have integrated+dedicated graphics in a laptop, and the dedicated card is an ATi one - go into 'Switchable Graphics' in Catalyst Control Center, and make sure Blockland's assigned to High Performance. Mine assigned this automatically, once I finally got CCC to install properly after it mysteriously disappeared entirely from my system. It pulls ~25fps looking at all of the Afghan DM save on High settings. ~40 on Low. Playable but not amazing. Hits vsync on Minimum, which is good enough. Before I fixed the driver issues, it wasn't swapping to the dedicated GPU and I was getting the 'packet' error - seems to be the Intel one not supporting a recent enough version of the GLSL language or a proprietary extension. Shows in the console as 1.something with an Intel revision number after it - my desktop and the laptop dedicated show 4.20. --- Quote from: Sylvanor on August 10, 2012, 09:24:03 AM ---some recent computers (like mine) uses two graphics cards, one is intel 64 mb for buisness and battry saving and the other one is nvidia 1gb for gaming... i can't enable shaders... That's a nice bad work we have here... --- End quote --- As for you - check in the nVIDIA control panel. If it's an Optimus setup, there should be options in the driver control panel to force dedicated/integrated rendering for different applications, from a quick googling about. It's meant to swap automatically if the integrated is under enough stress, but I get the feeling swapping devices at runtime will cause more issues than it solves in this case. If you don't have the Optimus UI in the driver panel, try updating to the latest nVIDIA driver - apparently some machines aren't supported, but if you can update it should detect the dual cards and install the right handlers. Been hearing about nVIDIA dropping support a lot lately. |
