Graphic Card does not support Vertex Shaders.

[riverwind]

Humble Bundle purchase here as well, on the GF's computer. Homebuilt, with an ATI 9800Pro (128mb) as well.

She had the 3.8.291 Omega drivers that I installed when we built the machine, and Penumbra was black screening and stalling. cntl-alt-del did bring up the task manager, but it took ~20 seconds.

I updated the drivers to the current omega drivers 4.8.442 (Catalyst 6.14.0010.6462) and now Penumbra is giving this "Graphics Card does not support Vertex Shaders" error 90% of the time on launch. The other percent of the time, it gives something like "couldn't load point light 2d"

any ideas?

edit: I wiped out the omega drivers, and am trying the ATI/AMD legacy drivers for the 9x00 series/WinXP
