I installed the Shadow Warrior 2 game on my laptop with 4gb graphic card
running with Windows7 but at startup a error message says my graphic card
shall not support DirectX 11 only im having the latest Direct X 11 version installed!
Is this a known problem and can it maybe be solved somehow?

You need both DX11 API and drivers installed and a graphics card that supports the feature set the game wants. Maybe your graphics card only supports DX 10.1 or the game wants 11.1 and you only have support for 11.0? I do not know the exact data but this is the principe.

You can check your card HERE or I, or someone else, can do it for you if you tell us which card you have.

Something does not add up. The GT240M is a mobile chip that only supports 10.1 fully, and has max 1GB vram. Yours has 4GB? You sure? The GT240M may have some DX11 support, but would be missing specific hardware support for certain features that the regular CPU would have to be used to make up, like tessellation for example (saw it mentioned in my search...not sure exact missing feature for this card).

I suspect, if you really do have a GT240, it is a 10.1 card with support for some, but not all DX11 features. One of which SW2 requires the card to support.

Direct from the techpowerup site on this card:
"Even though it supports DirectX 11, the feature level is only 10_1, which can be problematic with many DirectX 11 & DirectX 12 titles."

So it was as I thought. Always the problem with laptops: You cannot change the graphics card in them.
