Intel HD Graphics/GMA does (and will) not support Blockland shaders.

I can't believe I have to bring this up, even if it's been pushed around many times.
Intel processors by themselves are only meant for 2D and simple 3D operations. They are not meant for shader operations.

I have all this processing power and graphics card can't do stuff with low shadows.
I hope badspot fixes this soon >:(

Intel has advanced their CPU technology far (and so has AMD), but the processor-integrated GPUs are only meant for simple operations.
It's your fault for not checking if the laptop or small form-factor desktop you bought had a discrete GPU or not.
If you have a desktop that actually has a vacant PCI Express slot, you're at luck. Just put in a newer graphics card and swap the PSU out (if your current PSU can't handle a new graphics card).

intel 4000 on the newer, 3rd generation i3s, i5s and i7s can run games like bf3 with really good fps on lowest settings

My Intel GMA actually does support shaders, but only on minimum.

Mine does too, but do you even notice them?
Greek2me:
Yeah they look nice but it lags too much for DMs.
