Shaders are locked off

[the hacker]

Assuming you jumped into this topic to say "Intel cards aren't supported" I am NOT using an Intel graphics card. I'm using a laptop with an ATI Radeon graphics card. Yet for some reason, I can't enable shaders. I can turn them to minimal, but that's it. Are shaders auto-disabled for cards that aren't powerful enough, or something? I'd like to now. I'm using an all-AMD 32 bit laptop running Windows Vista.

This is kinda off topic but why do people thin Intel makes GPUs? Unless theyre talking about the built in Processor Graphics.

Also Console log. There might be some OpenGL Errors there that has their values set to FALSE

This is correct.

Are shaders auto-disabled for cards that aren't powerful enough, or something?

yep. pretty much.

Well, damn. Locking.
