Personally, I know of no work-around for any Intel video anything.  Intel used to have great long lists of games that they had found one work-around or another for, on one of their web site pages, but their stuff is just so slow, I can't imagine anyone wanting to put up with the exhasperation of waiting on this thing all the time (although there are people who beat themselves with willow branches after steaming for an hour in a sauna during a Finnish winter, so if anyone likes the sackcloth and ashes route, well, more power to them, but it's not for me!) . 

This game was designed around real video cards from companies that enjoy games and understand game graphics.  Intel isn't close to being in that class.

I just bought the game and am trying to run it on a,
windows 7 ultimate / in compatibility mode xp sp3
with a
Integrated Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 3150
512KB L2 cache, 1.66GHz
1GB DDR2
160GB HD
if there is any way to run on this system let me know asap please even if i have to dual boot xp i will

there is 0 chance to run it on that PC. You have neither the RAM or the GPU for the game.

[Gorath Alpha]

While I haven't tested this game running at its minimum RAM (not so extra cheap any more, but still not at all "expensive"), other folks have done so.  I don't consider the minimum RAM to be a make or break consideration in anything like the same way that the Intel video disappoints me.

Another Failed video card error.



My system information is below:



Windows XP

AMD athlon 64 2.39 GHz

2 GB RAM

Radeon Xpress 200 Series, 128 MB

An actual, discrete, add-on video card, asembled on its own circuit board, is a definite requirement, as is the ability to display the SM3 shaders in Dx9.0b (small textures). That chip is neither of those.

i'm a bit more concerned as my GeForce 9500M worked for ages till a couple weeks ago... then this message came up. i had not installed/uninstalled anything =/

[Ancestine]

ok the weirdest thing happened to me today. i am playing dragon age since it was released, on a desktop with win Vista 32bit , i7 2.8GHz , 6GB DDR3 ram tripple channel with ATI Radeon 4890 1GB. The game was running just fine until today. This morning i was playing dgnage. Then closed the game and started watching some screenshots with the default program for .jpg viewing of windows until i clicked to see the images on full screen. then that program crashed and i used the task manager to end it but a bug seems to have remained. there was a ghost black window still open but nothing appeared on task manager. I ignored that and without restarting my pc i tried to play dragon age again and got the same error as you so i googled it and got to this forum. I logged off my vista account and relogged in and it was fixed and now i dont get the error anymore. It seems that the fact that the full screen mode of that program somehow bugged smth in the graphic card for as long as it was loaded ? anyway i thought that this might give some1 some clue about what might be causing this. maybe its not actually you card's problem and smth else is bugging it.. good luck with that..

I thought this character creator could be used if you are playing on the xbox 360. If so, there should be a version that runs on slower computers. It's not like I need to see brilliant visuals to create a character.



Does this program have any use if you are playing on the 360? If so, why can't I run it on my computer?

If you allow Microsoft to do whatever it wants with your PC (Automatic Updates), you don't even KNOW whether you have anything new installed or not.  But the very same applies as already discussed: 1. Reinstall the video driver, and retest the game.  2.  If it still complains about your video card, downloand and install the latest Dx9 (no, not Dx10, & not Dx11).  Retest the game then.  3.  If it still has the problem, reinstall the game itself.

AFAIK, the only use for Character Creator that applies for a console
player is for uploading your creations to your Social Forums account. 

However, it is an extracted process from the game, and has similar
limitations as far as the video cards, although not for the main pro-
cessor.  You can run an old and slow PC, as long as it has a relatively
modern (five years old and less) video card in it.  And no, a five year
old onboard chip doesn't qualify. 

Incidentally, compared to the official requirements, (Note: IMO, the practical choices for the two video cards named should be the Radeon X800 Pro, and the Geforce 6800 GS, at least)

A computer with a normal full-power CPU is a requirement.  Netbooks (that's what the Atom is used for) cannot be considered as more than perhaps one-third as good, maybe one fourth, compared to the minimum.  Further, an actual video card is also required, and no Netbook yet has been equipped with any such cards (that I have ever heard of, at least). 

Windows XP Minimum Specifications
OS: Windows XP with SP3

AMD 64 (or equivalent) running at 2.0Ghz or greater
RAM: 1 GB or more

Thanks fo the help

Im having this same problem(Failed to detect a supported Video Card), i could run DA:O perfectly fine(highest settings without any lag or anything) and suddenly it starts ****ing up.



Heres my specs:

Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit

Pentium dual core CPU E5200 2.50GHz

4GB RAM

ATI Radeon HD 4850

1TB HDD



Ive tried reinstalling the game, reupdating my drivers and everything u can think of. Please respond cause i really want to play again ;D

[Gorath Alpha]

Well, this is very interesting!  Since this was among the more lengthy of threads about this same theme, it's been my thiought for some while that surely one person like you had already visited this collection of comments, and all that I might have to do is quote the earlier answer for you, but I was wrong. 

I really thought that at some point or another, most of the threads you would find in a Search had both answers, and today I found out that this thread is incomplete! 

Besides a "true" answer about old or limited-capability video devices, there have been several, maybe a dozen or more, people whose video cards should not have triggered this particular error message, unless the card had been damaged very badly. 

The game's launcher uses Direct3D to query about the needed functionality, so if you have a good card, that means something about Dx9 (not Dx10, not Dx11 -- the game uses Dx9) has gotten screwy.  The video drivers have to tell Direct3D about the card, and they are easiest to update, next easiest is to reinstall the Dx9 that is on the game disk, and that is usually all you need.  If you have tried new drivers and Dx9, then you have to reinstall the game. 

I don't think it's ever been necessary, but if the three-way communication among driver, Dx9, and the game isn't sorted out by updates to each of the three, a Repair install (reinstall) of Windows would be a last resort.  That is the over-the-top Repair that tries to leave your existing software suite unchanged while replacing the Windows files.

Yeah thanks for ur answer, but what im just wondering is why i could play the game for almost a week and suddenly it starts this ****.

[Gorath Alpha]

I would have to guess that you have Windows' Automatic Updates function active, and Microsoft did the deed; otherwise, run some AV and anti-Adware scans to get rid of Malware, but reinstalls of things may still be required after whatever caused it is put aside.

I'm using a ATI 4870x2 with same problem. Was playing fine for months, then suddenly today it gave me the error while ALT TAB'ing to view walkthrough pictures ("Test of Faith" puzzle).

I rebooted and Dragon Age loaded fine, although SLOWLY, and after a lot of HD activity. Very odd...

There will be some hardheaded people who wish to argue with the usual definition of a "Minimum" graphics card, claiming that they are happy with what they get from newer onboard solutions than that one was, because they will accept slow, jerky frame rates in Low resolutions and with Image Quality settings on Low as well.  I say that it's a disservice to the game developers to do that. 

This is the official pair, which I consider very inaccurate, and also my own suggestions instead:

Video: ATI Radeon X850 256MB or greater (either this is wrong)
NVIDIA GeForce 6600 GT 128MB or greater (or this one is wrong)

(Note: IMO, the practical choices for the two video cards above should be the Radeon X800 Pro, and the Geforce 6800 GS, at least, for small textures - it will take a Radeon X1650 XT (or X1800 GTO) for medium or better textures)

In parting, if it hasn't penetrated, Intel has never been supportable as a gaming graphics device maker.  Never.  That also includes the newest onboard chips of theirs, hitchhiking inside the packaging of the i3 and the i5 processors.

Okay. Have never seen this error before in many months of playing, but I'm now seeing it.



There were recent MS updates to the desktop system (WinXP SP3 plus current hotfixes), and now the NVidia 8600GTS (yep, it's old) that was working fine two days ago is giving this error. Simultaneously, old video capture card (Hauppauge WinTV PVR-250) has started crashing (no fooling, BSOD) every time I try to start WinTV which was working fine two weeks ago...so I'm really thinking that MS has decided to hose some video drivers. I was carefully *not* updating DirectX or NVidia drivers since other things were stable, on the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" theory. Unfortunately, a long period of innocuous MS updates lulled me into a false sense of "I might get away with an update"...and so I'm here.



Before I start the process of "random upgrades and pray", anyone have any constructive suggestions? To satisfy the random urge to complain that I've not provided sufficient

system detail (which isn't relevant): Athlon X64 x2 4600+ (2.something GHz) on an Asus

M2A-VM motherboard with 6GB of RAM (and before someone points it out, yes, I know

that some of that is totally wasted under WinXP...) System built from things that Newegg

had cheap 2+ years ago, but all generally reliable components and COMPLETELY unrelated to this new error I've not seen in multiple months of playing.



Best guess as to things to randomly upgrade and pray:

1. DirectX runtime (since it was an MS patch that likely caused incompatibilities.)

2. NVidia drivers (since those were working fine for a long time, but that means they're not current)

[lizzbee]

@flagondotcom You wouldn't happen to have a list of the Windows updates you installed? I'm at the Security Bulletin Summary for August's Patch Tuesday but it's going to take a long time to try to scour them. Did you install everything available for XP SP 3?

Re: getting your list of installed Windows updates, running the Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer is probably your best (and easiest) bet.

[flagondotcom]

For anyone who happens to look at this thread, the issue was resolved for me by one of the two things I updated -- DirectX 9 runtimes (to latest Microsoft version; mine was 4+ months out of date) and/or NVidia drivers (to latest version - 258.something, and mine were *really* out of date with version 158.something).



So, if you've seen this error, as per common practice and as noted by Gorath and others, the first things to consider are updates to DirectX runtime and video card drivers. Good luck.

how do i update Intel core i7

[Gorath Alpha]

If that (had been)  both your processor, and your graphics, it's unsupported because it's just not very good at all. I'm sure you (could have) obtain some performance-enhancing tools that degrade the graphics down to nothing better than mud, so it might sort of "stroll" through the game, but it's so poor it will never "run" this game.

I'm editing this after the fact here.  The question about updating a CPU was apparently an accidental misdirection.
