I have the Intel GMA 950 integrated video card. My computer has a 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, and 2 GBs of RAM running Windows XP Pro. I am trying to run Call of Duty 2.
According to the system requirements lab: http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/referrer/srtest
My video card, lacks the capability to produce Video HW Transform & Lighting and Vertex Shader v 1.1
This seems like two very easy things to fix with 3D-Analyze (I'm using v2.36b). However, when trying to start the game up, I cannot get past the screen that says I've suffered an unrecoverable dx error. I've searched these forums before posting this message and someone suggested that "force 16-bit zbuffer (w/stencil)" be checked. When I do that, I get this error: "Couldn't create a 640x480 depth stencil surface: invalid call"
I've also read that I should simply go into the game, and change the settings to make it run in dx7. I have no problem with this, except I can't even get into the game's menus to change that, I can't get the game to load at all.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
hi,
I'm not very optimistic when i read :
"Intel® 82945G Express Chipset

* Does not support alpha blending
* No valid rendering code path detected

Yeah,
It definitely is not compatible on its own. However, I am using both 3D Analyze and SwiftShader with limited success. Although I'm having a hard time getting some textures to show correctly, and am working on finding the right mix of .dlls from 3D analyze to allow the game to run.
Maybe with lower resolution, latest drivers. ive played cod1 and it works on gma950 laptop (intel 945)
