Shaders problems and solutions [till Toribash 3.22]
Hi,

Your graphics card can't run with shaders on ?

1. Make sure you have the latest drivers for your graphics card (can be downloaded from the card manufacturer's website)
2. Try setting one or more of the following settings to 0 when setting shaders to 1: Fluid Blood, Reflections, Soft shadows.

if it fails:
Please post here what graphics card and operating system you have:
For Windows: Go to start, then the Run command, enter dxdiag
For OSX: Click the apple icon, go to "About This Mac" and click more Info. You should see it under hardware->Graphics/Displays

Windows: The file stderr.txt, which is in the folder you installed Toribash to, can help us know what the problem is.
OSX: Start the application called 'Console' before starting Toribash and then set the shaders to 1. The console should now have errors messages about the shaders, which can help us know what the problem is.

Toribash freezes ?
Please let it run for a bit. in some cases switching to shaders after the game started causes it to freeze for a bit.

Toribash crashes ?
Windows: The file stderr.txt, which is in the folder you installed Toribash to (By default it's cProgram Files\Toribash 3.06), can help us know what the problem is.
If it contains the message 'SDL parachute deployed' , please make sure you have the latest version of the drivers for your graphics card. (Can be downloaded from the manufacturer's website)
OSX: Start the application called 'Console' before starting Toribash and then set the shaders to 1. The console should now have errors messages about the shaders, which can help us know what the problem is.


Specific graphic cards cofigurations:

Intel GMA 950 on OSX: Soft shadows & Fluid blood off.
