error help

[Kapitan]

I keep getting this eror which means once i click ok it shuts down SH4 anyone know how to resolve this?

Error message is simply: Error X3539: PS_1_X

[Cakewalk]

I believe that it is a pixel shader error... most likely your video card does not support Pixel Shader 2.0. What kind of video card do you have?

Also, re-installing DirectX is worth a try.

[Kapitan]

Not 100% sure but what do i need to make it run?

[Herr Karl]

What video card do you have?

[Kapitan]

il have a look but it be tommorrow now as i need some sleep dont worry il post up really wanting to play.

[Kapitan]

Ok its bugged me enough how do i find out what video card i have ?

Go to control panel for your computer, click on display, go to settings tab, click on advanced down in the right hand corner. once there click on the adaptor tab. It will show the card on this page.

thats good advice but that will only tell you what video card your os (windows) thinks you have installed.

The only way to be certain is to either find the bill of materials for your particular machine or take the cover off, pull the card, and look at it.

The latter is more or less 100% correct.

Hopefully windows will agree with the visual conformation.

Then you can check the manufacturers website, get the latest drivers, and install them.

ive had a new card installed since then so .... i didnt get a bill as it wasnt exactly what you call straight either.

You can still pull it out and look at it.

My OS was never wrong with the cards I have installed. I do not think this will be an issue here on this one either.

[Kapitan]

it says READON 9200 :S

[Herr Karl]

Here you can update your driver(s).

I don't think your card is up to snuff Kap. I think the 9200 only has support for up to pixel shader 1.4, but I may be wrong.

Thanks updating now

Yeah, that's what I found too. It's suppose to be a better card @ 256mb.

Need at least a 2.0 pixel shader...1.4 just doesn't sound right.

Let us know if a driver update helps Kapitan.

[Kapitan]

Updated the driver and nothing still comes up with error.

PeriscopeDepth is correct... You need at least a Radeon 9600 to play this game because the 9200 series does not support pixel shader 2.

Video Card: 128 MB RAM DirectX® 9–compliant, video card capable of rendering Pixel Shader 2.0 (256 MB RAM recommended) (see supported list*) *Supported Video Cards:
ATI® RADEON® 9600/9700/9800, X300 to X850, X1300 to X1800
NVIDIA® GeForce™ 6200/6600/6800/7800

where could i get it or download something to be able to play it?

[PeriscopeDepth]

You need to install one of the supported video cards (a video card is a piece of hardware you need to buy, you can't just download something) into your computer. I'd go for at least a 7600GT on the nVidia side, other people could recommend ATI if that's your flavor. You will also need at least a gig of RAM and 2+ Ghz PIV for it to be playable.

Well we cant exactly tell you to go to comp usa.

To put it in a nutshell your going to have to replace the video card.

No sir, new card time for you. I bit the bullet and got a new card to play SH4. Oh well it was time to upgrade anyway.
