Hi John,

99.99% of Chipsets do not have Hardware T&L support.
That game requires a video card with Hardware Transform
and Lighting support. Here's a list of cards which do NOT
provide such support. If your card's on this list it won't work:
(Refer to the link I gave Webber for DirectX 8 and 9 cards)

S3 Video Cards
SiS Video Cards
ATI Rage 128 Cards
NVIDIA TNT/TNT2/VANTA
Intel Video Card/Chipsets
Trident Video Cards
Most Mobility Chipsets
Diamond Video Cards
Rendition Video Cards
3dfx Video Cards.

| How can I tell if a card /supports/ DirectX 8 and 9 ?
|
| I have an onboard Pro Savage DDR-K S3/Via chipset.
|
| I have never heard of a card/chipset that doesn't support Direct8 and 9.
|
| How can I tell if it does or doesn't ?
|
| Is there a testing tool or web page ?
