i'm getting this, but i think this is wat ur talking about:

Microsoft.Xna.Framework.NoSuitableGraphicsDeviceException: Could not find a Direct3D device that has a Direct3D9-level driver and supports pixel shader 1.1 or greater.
at Microsoft.Xna.Framework.GraphicsDeviceManager.CheckForAvailableSupportedHardware()
at Microsoft.Xna.Framework.GraphicsDeviceManager.ChangeDevice(Boolean forceCreate)
at Microsoft.Xna.Framework.GraphicsDeviceManager.Microsoft.Xna.Framework.IGraphicsDeviceManager.CreateDevice()
at Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Game.Run()
at osu.Program.Main()

and i can't play at my mom's house and i won't be back at my dad's for another week (it's this whole divorce thing...) and now i'm sad like that picture of the broken vase on the floot with the arrow pointing to it... ;_; but the game is awesome!! my friend showed me this game and now i'm a higher rank than him and i've only been playing for about 2 days and he's been playing for about 2 weeks! >:D

Peppy, why don't you just handle that error with a nice(r) error message instead of just leaving it like this? That way you won't get so many people posting it in the bug reports forum.

(*) Avatars are only loaded when full chat mode is visible. This seemed to be causing lag for some during gameplay.
(*) Error message made more friendly for graphics cards which don't support required shader model.

Always one step ahead ;)

An error has occurred. Please report this in the forums along with any more information you can provide!


Your graphics card does not support Shader Model 1.1+.

Unfortunately, support is required to play osu!
Please upgrade your graphics card to something made after 2002 (that isn't a geforce mx model)
See the stickied thread in the 'Bug Reports' forum for further details.

Intel 82845G/GL/GE/PE/GV: Partial support, problems tilting

taken from: http://www.worldwindcentral.com/wiki/Vi ... patibility

The card you listed didn't seem to fall directly into one of the families listed in phill's post. It might be in the 950 or 3000, but I'm not sure, and it appears that this integrated graphics card might not be on that list. At any rate, the fact that it has only "partial support" leads me to believe that it's not going to support directx9 extensions.

awp is right. According to the Intel website it only supports DX7/8 and OpenGL 1.1. Sorry :(

Didn't notice this earlier, but it seems the list of supported cards are cards that were specifically made for DirectX9, when infact all cards that that were made with DX10 in mind also support DX9. I brought this up mainly because I'm currently running with a 8800GT in XP SP2 32bit with no problems and was surprised to not see the 8 series mentioned.

Peppy, I think a big blue hyperlink to this thread needs to be made in the error message. Seems like people don't bother to read their errors, as shown by this thread. Like, a really big and obvious hyperlink, possibly in capital letters and in bold and underlined.

Not sure if that will help. The error already tells them to get a new graphics card, yet they still post.

osu! can't run in 64bit (its compiled for 32bit) so that may be a problem, but I would assume your .net framework would also install a 32bit counterpart.

Its strange you had this working before adding beatmaps.. maybe you could retrace your steps and see how far you get.

...huh.

Is there any possibility that the whole 64-bit-ness of the OS has something to do with why this isn't working, I wonder. Or the .NET framework being a 64 bit version.

Because the card sounds like a knockout.

Could you try getting the 32-bit .NET 2.0 Framework, and/or VMware-ing a 32 bit windows?

I'm shooting in the dark here; we don't get that many 64-bit OS bug reports (as far as I know).
Well I got it working just fine now. I reinstalled it to the desktop and then while it was running dragged a beatmap into the song directory and then was able to play. Now when I start it up it works perfectly. I'm glad its not my card thats causing it.

Also as a side note 32-bit .Net Framework doesnt work on a 64 bit system (atleast windows will not let you install it) but I think it does have 32-bit framework built in, as I have other 32bit games/programs that use the 64-bit framework and work fine. It's pretty standard for 64-bit systems that you usually need to download 64 bit drivers for the most important stuff such as video cards and motherboards.

Either way im so happy it works..... now for some CaramellDansen :lol:

So windowed mode runs fine? The only thing that comes to mind is that it may crash if you have the wrong video codec handling video decoding. Have you tried playing on a song without video, or using the novideo mod temporarily?

Windowed mode is perfect, no issues. I only get an error if I try to switch full screen on, and it redirected me here. I'm not sure what the reason would be, I've tried setting it to all 3 resolutions before full-screening and no luck.

Yeah, I have a Dell Dimension 3000, the chipset graphics chip is DX9, 4 MB, with no Pixel Shader. Newegg has cheap video cards for people with no Pixel Shader, it has Pixel Shader 2.0. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130289 That is a PCI slot card, because I have no AGP or PCIe slots on this old computer. :(
I'm getting it mainly to run Orange Box, and Garry's Mod. I can't run any Source games without Pixel Shader (and another gigabyte of RAM).

Bit of a non-windows user here. On my primary install *nix install, I have vmware running a fully updated windows XP SP3 with .NET 3.5 SP1.
Of course, I tried it in my virtual windows because I didn't know about the pixel shader issue until AFTER I installed it and tried to run it. Sadly, vmware does not emulate pixel shader support, and enabling the highly experimental direct 3d acceleration does nothing to help this. So out it goes. Oh well, I can still use it to access IE-only sites, cross platform web development, and running Gens to get my Sonic 1 fix, I'll live.

Sometime over the next few days, I'll probably reboot into my Ubuntu install and see if WINE can handle this. At any rate, I'm merely reporting that current and previous versions of VMWare do NOT provide any sort of pixel shader support, as if that wasn't obvious enough.

I will note that enabling direct 3d access lets the virtual Windows more directly access the graphics card, but that did not help in this instance. I'm pretty sure my card has pixel shader support (Intel GMA 3100), so odds are it does not have any sort of support for pixel shading at all.

I'll report back as soon as I test it under wine. Hopefully, that will work and then you can compile it with winelibs and make it semi-cross-platform in the same way that Google Earth is. Or not. But for now, I go to test.

K, Back: turns out that I haven't actually figured out how to fix my graphics card on Ubuntu yet, as compiz is still broken for me, I'll have to fix that before I can enable access to the pixel shader, but from the looks of it WINE has not encountered any other errors yet.

I return from my mucking about using WINE and stuff.

As it turns out, Mac users armed with a VMWare'd install of Windows can simply nab the VMware Fusion 2 beta for mac, and that should have support for pixel shading which means that victory is to be had (speed permitting), or they can wait and upgrade when VMWare release the final. No idea if similar features will find their way into the Linux vmware products.
On the issue of WINE, however, I have bypassed the pixel shader block only to ram headfirst into the XNA framework block.

Namely, XNA framework requires .NET 2.0 to be installed in order for it to be installed. No problem, .NET 2.0 installs just fine if you manage to grab l_intl.nls and set your winver to 2000. Unfortunatley, XNA DOES NOT RECOGNIZE .NET 2.0 as being installed, so users of Wine are left out ENTIRELY because XNA refuses to install.
As a workaround, I attempted installing XNA on my VMware'd windows XP while I was running an install monitor, then copying the new files and registry entries over to my Wine install, but that failed spectacularly, so no go there. Oh well.

I'll toy around with it some more in Wine, but unless Microsoft suddenly decides to re-license the XNA frame work under a compatible open-source license or the Wine developers suddenly discover the secret to making things work awesome, I won't get very far. Actually, I take that back. If I can find some way to trick the XNA installer into thinking .NET 2.0 is installed, there's a chance that this whole crazy scheme might actually work. Then again, probably not.

XNA is great for rapid game development, but not so great for running-the-damn-program-on-anything-not-microsoft.

You don't need to install XNA - it is local to the osu! install directory. In fact, matty got as far as getting osu! to load to the point of requiring a pixel shader without much trouble via WINE. You may want to talk with him.

I believe that that would be because of check order. I've tried it on several different wine setups and such. From what I can recall (this was a week or two ago), it checks for pixel shader support before it checks for XNA. I'll go pull up my other partition and load it in WINE again. Even if XNA is local to the osu! directory, perhaps WINE simply cannot find it. I won't pretend I know how the XNA framework... works. All I know is that recent versions of WINE have had some degree of pixel shader support (since at least 1.0.0) (under winecfg, the graphics tab, it's a little check box. I think it's enabled by default but sometimes you need to enable it). I will note that this support working depends entirely on having the correct drivers for your computer installed.

Which part can't you agree with me on? The "great for rapid game development" part or the "running-the-damn-program-on-anything-not-microsoft" part? I assume that the first part is somewhat true, else it wouldn't be used. I assume the second part is partially personal opinion, and partially the lack of native XNA and .NET support on Mac, Linux, or just about anything that isn't XP/Vista or the Xbox 360. At least, I haven't seen a native .NET or XNA framework installer for linux. At any rate, I know what I saw. I installed osu! and upon running it, recieved an error alerting me to the XNA framework being damaged. I'll have to reboot into my Ubuntu partition to see the EXACT error message, but it's something along the lines of part of the XNA framework being damaged. I assume, perhaps incorrectly, that I need to reinstall it. At any rate, I'll reboot and get the exact error message.

The pixel shader checks are inside the XNA library itself. XNA will not run without 1.1 shader model support.

I dunno, I've multilated XNA into something of my own through the osu! creation process. I've had to fix so many bugs and tweak things to work the way they should, or the way they wanted. I'm no huge fan of the XNA libraries anymore :P.

As has already been said - porting OpenGL support into osu! shouldn't be a hard thing to do, so while you are free to try and get this working, hopefully some light as at the end of the tunnel sometime soon.

shader model above 1.1, .NET Framework 2.0/above, and graphic card... what is it...
ATI RADEON or GeFORCE? well, whichever it is, as long it has a DirectX9 it works right?

No, you need to make sure it has support for Pixel Shader 1.1 or above.

:( I got this while switching from windowed (1024x) to fullscreen (640x). My display res is 1680x1050 on a GMA 950 with 128 (?) MB of shared video RAM

Really lame that my card isn't supported, but I guess there's nothing I can do about it.

Really disappointing, though.

A couple weeks tops, I imagine. OpenGL works ace for about 50% of the testers so far. I'm one of them~

I know that the one I have has already been mentioned as an incompatible card (Intel (R)82845/G/GL/GE/PE/GV Graphics Controller) and honestly, I don't know of many good PCI (not PCIe) cards that can support it. This computer's hardly ever been opened up, with the only new hardware being a 256MB stick of RAM from 2005.

Is the next version of osu! going to be able to support this card? It's a shame that although my PC is far from high-spec it can only just manage stuff like Doom 3 (which was why we had upgraded it in the first place, even though the game kept freezing after the first level, but I doubt it was due to a lack of RAM) yet such a simple game like osu! (I say simple because it doesn't look like it needs a lot) won't run due to the card. :|

Umm, will the new version also support UniChrome graphic cards?

Computer technology should ideally be replaced every 6 months, I believe? But since we don't all have that kind of money to blow, every 2 to 4 years. If your computer is less than 6 years old, it should run osu! just fine with the upcoming release (once all or most of the kinks've been worked out).

So then, my approximately 4-5 years old computer will run it fine?

Assuming the parts are of the same age, it shouldn't be a problem.

Well, I assume yes. :D

If so, I'll be playing osu! soon as the new version is released.

Sorry for the bump, but I get the "your card does not seem to support shader model 1.1+" of course my card supports shader 3. And this doesn't happen all the time anyway. sometimes the error just happens randomly and i gotta restart my computer for osu to accurately detect my card.
