that seems like an error. Even integrated chips can run pixel shader 3 nowadays. Either your computer is extremely old or something isn't right. I would try updating your graphic drivers, and patching the game. if that doesn't work then reinstall it.adrake4183

go to this page: http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/medieval2totalwar/download_6170145.html?om_act=convert&om_clk=files&tag=files;title;3 and download the patch and install it. Also are you absolutely sure your drivers are up to date? I don't want to offend you or anything but if you didn't know what I meant by patch the game, I doubt they are. If you have a nvidia graphic card new drivers were released less than 1 month ago. adrake4183

so alls this patch is update the game right?
