Shader model 2.0 Generic VGA Adapter
So our server runs on 22GB FB RAM, 2x Intel ® Xeon E7 4830 CPUs @2.2GHz.
But is using a Generic VGA Adapter. First when starting the server it sure as it should gives us the Shader model error
Code:
---------------------------
Error
---------------------------
Minimum Shader Model 2.0 required.
A better video card or installing drivers is required.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
But when using these flags in the InitPre() function
Code:
App.flag=APP_WORK_IN_BACKGROUND|APP_NO_PAUSE_ON_WINDOW_MOVE_SIZE|APP_MINIMIZABLE | APP_ALLOW_NO_GPU;
The server seems to load no graphics at all and does not seem to start up correctly, (Not accepting connections etc). But since there's no graphics at all we cannot either see if there's another error.
Is there anyway we will be able to run our server on this machine? It is currently no option to get a graphics card with shader model 2.0.
Best regards TBJokers.

Hi,
Please read comments about APP_ALLOW_NO_GPU
Try using DX10+
if it won't help, try using LogConsole or just log to files.

And please check your firewall settings on the server.
(GPU/graphics is not related to networking)

RE: Shader model 2.0 Generic VGA Adapter
Also, your video card being called "Generic VGA Adapter" means your graphics drivers are not installed. Any server running that level of hardware will have at least a DirectX9 compatible GPU(depends on the board, but you should have NVidia, Intel, or Matrox gfx). If you are using server 2003(not sure about later server OSs), you will need to enable DirectX and 3D acceleration manually.
As a side note, that's a pretty beefy server. Are you using a quad board with only 2 processors currently installed?

We're using a quad board; we are currently hosting a game for a community of 1,2thousand players so power is what we need.
The problem got fixed both by firewall allowance, application flag, ODBC drivers. Ps(When using Dx9 and getting no graphics at all it can be good to have some way of showing errors) as we couldn't so none.
