Zurry	Posted - 2009.03.10 14:59:00 - [1] My laptop doesn't support pixelshader 2.0 and I'm not in a position to afford a new one. Is there any way I can still play EvE on it?
Achmed TheDead	Posted - 2009.03.10 15:01:00 - [2] Short answer. No
mal1coy	Posted - 2009.03.10 15:01:00 - [3] petition ccp for a new gfx card :p hope my laptop can run it or my eve days is over too :(

EmpressShiva	Posted - 2009.03.10 15:03:00 - [7] Edited by: EmpressShiva on 10/03/2009 15:03:17 you could look for shader model faker software, 3d Analyze. It's pretty unreliable but it can work. you could also try running an emulated operating system with VMware, i'm not quite up with the specifics but it may emulate shader model 2 through CPU. More stabs in the dark.
Ankhesentapemkah	Posted - 2009.03.10 15:04:00 - [8] I'm affraid the best option is to get a $30 second hand desktop or something. If you insist on using your laptop, let the client run at the desktop and hook your laptop up through a program such as VNC. Anyway, no easy way to get it to work. ---

Captain Campion Synergy. Imperial Republic Of the North	Posted - 2009.03.10 15:06:00 - [10] You are one of 5 people who aren't important enough to support anymore. Hurrah for needs of the many!

Holy Lowlander Lone Star Joint Venture Wildly Inappropriate.	Posted - 2009.03.10 15:06:00 - [11] well you can get a new computer that does run eve for fairly cheap. tbh , really cheap ... A geforce 7600 card will probably run it smoothly ... and they're cheap as hell. but if you really don't have the money , you can always try :S ..

mal1coy	Posted - 2009.03.10 15:14:00 - [15] how can i control if my laptop supports this "pixelshader 2.0" ? i dl both patches and applyed them and are rdy to play just need servers up, after reading this topic im not even sure i can play anymore.
EmpressShiva	Posted - 2009.03.10 15:15:00 - [16] right mouse your desktop and go find the name of your video adapter; then post back.

Zurry	Posted - 2009.03.10 15:23:00 - [20] Originally by: Khlitouris RegusII Trying to play games in a machine designed for browsing the web and word isn't really a good idea. This laptop was a juggernaut back in the day. It was designed to do advanced simulations, so it has enough computing power to run pixel shader emulation, but not the required graphics card for EvE now.

Gierling Gallente Viper Squad Triumvirate.	Posted - 2009.03.10 15:24:00 - [21] I believe they make external usb video cards, but I'm not sure if any of hose support shader model 2.0.
EmpressShiva	Posted - 2009.03.10 15:25:00 - [22] Originally by: Gierling I believe they make external usb video cards, but I'm not sure if any of hose support shader model 2.0. You surely jest. the USB transfer rates cannot sustain the required for a modern card videocard. 16 Gb/s versus 480Mb/s ?
VC General	Posted - 2009.03.10 15:28:00 - [23] Guys like Zurry are the reason Eve doesn't properly support Crossfire and multi-core. CCP is busy making sure people with Pentium 2's and G3's can still play.
Killah Bunnie Amarr Volition Cult	Posted - 2009.03.10 15:43:00 - [24] How old is some peoples equipment? I mean my laptops almost 3 years old and that'll run it.

FOl2TY8 The Athiest Syndicate	Posted - 2009.03.10 15:59:00 - [26] Here is a barebones system that you should be able to afford. Tiger Direct and a video card... Holy crap with shipping it is less than $300. You will need a DVD drive but it can wait... ---------- This post brought to you by the worst PVP'er in Eve

I patched right before I left for work. I downloaded it within 45 minutes. It went throught the installation and the log in screen came up. It said client not accpeting log ins and there were 20 people on. I previously had the classic client installed because my laptop would not support the premium graphics. So I ask when I get home do you all think that it will launch or will I have to install the premium client? I ask this because I have read that if you did not have the premium client installed it would not work.

Leuthispar Viper Squad Triumvirate.	Posted - 2009.03.10 16:05:00 - [28] For a lot of ppl you need to understand that its not wether you have old or new laptops its that a lot of you ppl get shafted when buyin those "amazingly priced" laptop packages with a brand new processor shiny screen and then they stick you with a "new video card" that its actually like 3-4 years old just recircuited and renamed and that's why so many say "but my laptop/pc is only 2 years old wth". Yea well i fell for that myself and the answer is do your research when buying a pc, or have someone who knows about it come with you. If you are just getting a laptop for work use, (i.e. Internet explorer, WORD, EXCEL) and you got a great deal dont expect it to keep up with games from the last 4 years, most of the times that's how it is with packaged computer deals cant have all for a great price. EvE has come a long way and in order to keep up with other games by revamping their graphics, sorry for the people whose's systems cant keep up anymore but they need to keep doing this so we feel we are playin a new game and not just some 2d full of text garbage from 6 years ago.

Mr Ignitious R.E.C.O.N. Dara Cothrom	Posted - 2009.03.10 16:22:00 - [30] My comp didn't support pixel shader 2.0 either. I sold a LOT of plasma and spent 1200$ on a new comp. Now I'm lightheaded and having bios problems... but at least I'll still be able to play eve (unless I crash ) Originally by: CCP Zulupark WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?
