shader model 3.0 issue

Post by NickDyer »

Hello I am having a shader model 3.0 issue I am using Parallels 10.2.1 to try and install and use Giant Editor And Farming Simulator 2015 but the keep coming up with the error

"Error: Could not init 3d system. Shader Model 3.0 is required. Please install the lateset video drivers."
I have no idea what to do and have been trying for over a week now there are bits of info all over the web but noting helps.

I am using windows 8.1 and have installed .Net, DirectX, Autodesk Maya, Autodesk 3DX Max, Blender, Farming Simulator 2015, Giant Editor 6.0.3 32Bit, Giant Editor 6.0.3 64Bit, Giant Editor 5.5.2 32Bit, Giant Editor 5.5.2 64Bit, Intel® HD Graphics Driver for Windows* 7/8/8.1-64-bit.

I am using a Macbook Pro, 2.9 GHz Intel Core i7, Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB, 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, 1T SSD. To run Parallels 10.2.1

I am going to try again from fresh with Windows 7 tonight.

Anyone got any ideas what going wrong for me?

This is the fs2013 forum post in fs2015 forum if you want an answer. Try updating you video drivers.
