Vertex Shaders Fail (Steam) - Fhajad - 06-06-2009

I can't get Overture to start in Steam due to my card "Not supporting vertex shaders" when I know full well it does.

Might be a Windows 7 problem. :/

Please say what graphics card you have.

This is some problem with the OpenGL drivers. Try this:

1) Download the latest drivers for your graphics card:
2) Uninstall the graphics card drivers.
3) Restart computer
4) Install new drivers.

Unless you have a really old card, the game shall work. The problem lies in the drivers.
