Cold War Demo Error Message

**vangheem** · July 30th, 2006

Hello, I just installed Cold War and when I try to fire it up I get this error message.

Code:

error: Current hardware is not supported by shader library.

Here is my configuration:
AMD 64 3000+
1gig RAM
Nvidia 7600GT

When I run glxgears I get about 10,000 FPS.. I dunno if this is a good mark or not for my card.

There is no way my hardware wouldn't be supported. I'm sure it has something to do with my drivers but I'm not sure how to alter the settings to increase performance or anything.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Your glxgears rating is good enough.

Try running coldwar from its native directory.

You're not alone here. This seems to be a very common problem for this game.

Have you got the latest NVIDIA drivers. From glxgears, it seems you have..

What does glxinfo tell you?
