OK, so this is what my main menu looks like:

I have celeron 2.4 ghz processor, 256 mb pc 2700 ddr ram and integrated 4x s3 prosavage agp 32mb vid card.I'd appreciate if someone had a solution for this, but the first thing someone could do is post a screenshot of the main menu, so i could see how my comp runs it anyway.I didi click on all the buttons randomly, but got nowhere so far. :flowers:

S3 Pro Savages are notoriously bad with OpenGL applications. I'm afraid that card is no good, and you'll need an upgrade to play the game.. (http://img80.imageshack.us/img80/8215/coloneehn4.gif)

Nope, I'm afraid there will never be an directX renderer in PS because it's meant to be cross-platform and directX is only available for Windows. Blame Microsoft ;)

Those are goals for the "final" Planeshift, and they are a bit outdated.
I don't think PS will ever have D3D support.
Who cares about D3D anyway ;)

maybe becuase my card seems to work beter with d3d than ogl for some reason... could prolly be some driver issues
