Okay, I'm getting the 'shader model 1.1' error, my graphics chip supports 2.0 definately, and from what i've been reading on Wikipedia also supports 3.0, but from what i've seen there is no mention of model 1.1 in the specs or any documentation, my chip is a Intel GMA 950, i know it's far from the best but this is a laptop, it's pretty well specced considering(dual core 1.66 Pentium M and 2GB RAM) but i just can't get the game to run, Does anyone have any ideas? Is there a way to tell the game not to run these tests and just start, then i can enable model 2.0 or 3.0 when i'm actually in the game?

Okay, forget this thread, i have confirmation from Ubisoft that this game is not compatible with Intel graphics chips of any kind. Damn.
