Recommended Posts

"The SwiftShader logo overlay cannot be removed in the Demonstration

release. It is of course disabled in the commercial version."

In, SwiftShader - Read Me.

Yup. So just wait more ~10 days, and then you can play the Full game without that logo (it's kind of annoying).

Yeah i dont know what driver i have, therefore cannot install anything. My computer doesnt know either, and i dnt wna open it up cos i will probably break it :/

You don't have to open anything up. For starters, run windows update and see if it suggests updating graphics card drivers...

If that fails, either dxdiag or some more information on your PC specs would be very handy.

Andy you are in direct contact with me, you don't need to ask all these questions elsewhere as well. There's an issue where we cannot identify your graphics card and our IT team is looking into this for you. Cheers.

Neil Brock has told me that it is most probably the things with the yellow question marks next to them, i have tried reinstalling them, updating them etc, but it keeps saying i need a CD, which i don't have.

No, make sure d3d8.dll, d3d9.dll and SwiftShader.ini are in the main FM11 folder (Where fm.exe is!)

Hi mate,

I must be doing something wrong, when I download SwiftShader and extract the folder with winrar to desktop I see two folders x64 and x86 (i think) and 3 other files. When I click on the x folders I see d3d9.dll in both of them, the exact same file and no SwiftShader.ini in the whole folder?

Please help me as i'm going bald! :(

Hello all

I have taken the advice of King-Alkmaar 99 but when I try open the Direct-X properties dialog properties box, it doesn't appear in the same format as shown.

Well, i had same issue (not just on fm) and there wasn't problem with directX or graphics card (all up to date). It was in hardware acceleration setting so I set it up to fullest and problem was gone.

To do this right click on desktop and choose properties, then go to settings tab click advanced then troubleshoot and you are there (this is for xp, if you are using any other OS here is the link to page that explains how to http://www.pptfaq.com/FAQ00129.htm )

p.s hardware acceleration can make your internet a bit slower so when not playing roll it back to medium

Hope it helps.
