Shader stream

Hi,

I tried out project Clash on an older machine and I got the message:

Fatal: (f:\syncRage\skyshooter_source\engine\shadergen\shadergen.cpp @ 72)
Failed to open Shader Stream

Followed by:

Fatal: (f:\syncRage\skyshooter_source\engine\shadergen\sceneobject.cpp @ 824)
Error, some object isn't properly out of the bins!


Thinking this was due to the old card, I installed an MSI NX6200AX (NVIDIA GeForce 6200) with 256MB DDR (which claims to support up to shader model 3.0) and the latest drivers. I still have the same message. This old system has only 256Mb of system memory; could this be the problem? If so, the mimimum spec for TSE could need some updating.

Regards,
Rob

If I had not been so hasty, I would not even have posted this... two minutes in a debugger told me that the shaders directory and the files contained in it need to be writeable as they are generated by the engine at startup.

On this machine I had checked the source out readonly.
