Ok. So I had the same problem as many others. Someone told me if you press Esc instead of clicking OK at the screen where it says your video card is unsupported it would load. And it did... but then it just got to a full gray screen and said my video card lacked required features or something to that effect. Following the advice in the OP and setting both of those values to 1 got me past that and the game actually did start loading - the screen changed to black and I could hear the music and see the cursor... but I couldn't see anything else. Just the black screen. Even after several minutes there was still no video. It's so close to working but I have no idea how to make the video come in.

Yes, I know the beta's already done and the game's about to come out. That's why I'm trying to get it to work now as I doubt the system requirements for the full version are any different. If I get it to load I know to go buy the game at release.

Yes, I know an ATI Radeon Xpress 200 sucks even by integrated card standards and I really should get a new one but I'm trying to be cheap here and find a workaround that doesn't cost four figures. If I can get it this far there is hope. I hope. >.<


i have the hardware setting to "3" and disable trilinar to "1"

when i load the beta it says vidoe card unsupported, i hit esc then it is about to load i see the d3 logo and its loading. then an error come up 60E50D1E-416E-460A-9B5B-4C046A271AB6

Changing the hardware setting from 1 to 3 doesn't change anything for me. It's just the same problem as before again.

Obviously the problem is D3 requires video card features mine doesn't have. Otherwise there'd be video even if it was at low FPS. The question is exactly what features does it require, and is it possible to emulate those features somehow? All the video card emulators I know of won't work because they have to be fed an exe and D3 uses a launcher.

Yeah, because it was actually decently written, and informative.
Not some random troll topic.

well im using this right now with a guest pass and it lets u run the game but if you have a unsupported gfx card the game will be glitchy

i found a happy medium with every thing so it makes it playable untill i can get a new gfx card

i have mine set to fullscreen at 800x600

foreground is set to 60 background is at 15

then on the right it is low/off/low/off

and low fx is checked

it makes the game less laggy with a unsupported gfx card but its still playable
