Vdrift crashes immediately after startup on Windows 7 - Emailthezac - 08-11-2011
I am running 2010-06-30 version on Windows 7 on a Lenovo W520
My Graphics Card and Chipset drivers say they are up to date and i have a NVIDIA Quadro 1000M.
I installed the game, it says it was successfully installed. When i start the game a blank terminal pops up, then a window labeled Vdrift comes up for about a second, goes black, then both windows close.
I notice people post the contents of this file stderr.txt:
ERROR: You don't have an NVIDIA or ATI/AMD card. This game may not run correctly or at all.
and stdout.txt

I looked through the forums and tried some of the solutions, either they were the wrong ones or i didn't do them correctly. Please help!

Quote:NVIDIA Quadro 1000MThe game reports "Intel® HD Graphics Family". I guess you can switch?
Try setting shaders = false in C:\Users\Zac\My Documents\My Games\VDrift/VDrift.config. But it should reset itself after crash.
You can also try the dev release to see if it runs. http://sourceforge.net/projects/vdrift/files/vdrift/vdrift-2011-07-26-dev/

Thanks so much, changing the shaders setting worked.

Unfortunately, it also means ugly graphics.
