Hi all...

2 Days ago i installed the new Nvidia Graphics Driver "nVIDIA ForceWare 190.38".

Now the Game won´t start, posting error screen with text:

"Could not initialize 3D system.
Shader Model 2.0 is required.

Install the latest video drivers!!!"

Any Ideas to fix that Problem

Hi Manuel,

I've tested NVIDIA ForceWare 190.38 with my machine and it works. Please post your log.

Cheers
