unsupported video cart

hi, so this message popped up and i dont know what to do pls help me.

 

  • Well the message is telling you that your graphics card was found but doesn't meet the minimum requirements to run the game well. So you should probably upgrade your graphics card or if that's not possible get a new computer that meets the minimum or recommended requirements.

  • marina130254​  What exactly did you do?  You certainly didn't need to upgrade the GPU, let alone get a new computer.  And this message only appears the first time you launch the game, or the first time you play after deleting Options.ini, so the fact that you're not seeing the message doesn't mean it's resolved.

    Having said that, this error can safely be ignored.

    videogamefan07​  That is not at all what the message means.  The message means exactly what it says: that the GPU, or rather its device ID, is not in the game's database.  This is common for newer graphics cards, including many high-end ones, because the database doesn't get updated very often.  Have a look at the GPUs listed in GraphicsCards.sgr if you're curious.  You'll notice that few of the newest Nvidia GPUs are listed even though they're all far over the game's recommended requirements.

    But the message in the picture clearly says "Your video card was detected within our Database but does not meet the minimum requirements..." Unless it was an error and it was typed wrong.
