usernamejnjijenfk: hello. i have transferred the game and everything to my second computer now. however, when i try to play, it gives me this message;
Note: Shaders failed to compile when launching the game. You can try restarting the game, restarting your computer, or reinstalling the game if this continues to persist. Otherwise, a video card with Shader Model 3.0 is required to play.
We cannot detect that your video card supports this.
Additionally, you can try running the DirectX 9.0 updater and changing to DirectX 9 in the graphics settings. graphics _ changing
(the message pops up in the game window, not as one separate error window)
I have restarted the game and my computer.
I THINK i have directx 9, however you may notice that i am not a computer expert. I am not sure what my shader model is. I am doing this on WIndows 10, without any admin permissions. and it doesnt seem like i can install / update directx without admin perms.
so I just wanna know
A) what this message means and;
B) if theres any solution to this
thanks
The message means your laptop may be missing some GPU driver features (Dell, HP, Lenovo, etc sometimes provide drivers without unlocking all the features) or some Windows dependencies not installed, like proper DirectX version and VC+Runtimes.

Your GPU may be old enough to not support newer games but is highy unlikely.
The solution may not be possible without Admin permission. Run DXdiag on the laptop, on the Display tab check what DX versions your system has access to, check attached print.
For starters, it would help to know wich particular game you're trying to run and maybe the GPU model (or laptop model).
