Hoping it's not serious

Hi, at first, post about graphisc card you have on your machine..

[jens]

Seems that you either have an unsupported graphics card, drivers that are corrupt(reinstall the latest should fix it(with uninstall, reboot, install new) or that the game has not been installed properly. For starters please let us know what graphics card you have.

[pciemek]

Maybe you have to install Service Pack 4 first for your windows 2000.

[Linux.Blue]

2000 or XP?

[gizmo27]

No I've got XP

It's bizarre in fact : it's written 2000 on the log but it's XP in fact

When I posted for the 1st time I had installed the last update before.

My graphic card is : VIA/S3G Unichrome pro IGP version 6.14.10.180 (07/10/2004)

Don't say to me that my card is too old else I'll kill you

I want to keep my graphic card

[jens]

Sorry, but the game won't run on that card :/

[gizmo27]

I forgot : HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009 everybody !!

Sorry, but the game won't run on that card :/

I wait for you to wish me the year and after you'll can choose your way of death : cratered by a plane, poisoned by old ketchup or watching Pokemons during 1 day

No I joke

But it's so bad fi me

[gizmo27]

Anyways...

Is possible fi me to contact the Penumbra developpers to tell them to make a new update compatible with my graphic card an others why not ? How and where to contact them ?

Car ça me fout carrément les boules (translation : it put me the balls so I'm very very disappointed)

[gizmo27]

I've looked to my pc and I've got an agp port

So my question : if I buy a nvidia (seems to be a standard model for the games in general), will my pc support the graphic card ? Will my graphic card not use too much cpu ?
