Issue - Black&white2 - pixel shader 1.1 problem - graphics = GFMX 440

Hi!

So ive read several forum posts - people in a similar situation with terrible graphics cards such as myself (GFMX440). The issue is the whole pixel shader 1.1. After reading others posts, i have learnt that apparently my graphics card has no support and i need to update. However im sure there is some computer wizard out there that knows a sneaky way to get around my issue. PLEEEEEEEASE HELP!?

Thanks, Riko

There isn't. It's hardware feature that's missing & there's no way to emulate it.

Yeah B&W2 is a demanding kinda game. There are lots of inexpensive video cards available that can run that game though. For a cheap solution, try getting a Geforce 6200. It will run other games fine too and is dirt cheap. Here's a link.

P.S. - If ur going for the above card, try getting it before the rebate expires. $15 makes a difference u know.

Rikomate, i have Black and White 2 and the pixel shader is part of your graphics card, you cant update it etc. Your not really missing out, Black and White 2 was a terrible sequal, the original was much better, B&W2 doesnt have any mulitplayer or skirmish options, you only have the compaign, when thats done, you just play it again. Creature learning is terrible also, slap it bad, stroke it good, thats it. B&W1 FTW.
