[NEEDS INFO] Rendering very slow on Intel G33 Express Chipset, unless FFP forced

Description (last modified by historic_bruno)

Using Intel G33 Express Chipset (old graphics card), works smooth only when set 'renderpath=fixed'. Otherwise the game is pretty jerky. I am filing this report because the setting page suggested it : "Render path: If you have any problems with graphics due to an older graphics card, add the line renderpath=fixed to test the game without shaders. If this fixes the problems, please report it as a bug to us."

According to Wikipedia, that GPU supports only FFP/OpenGL 1.4 features, though on Linux it lists OpenGL 2.1. That is probably with software rendering by the driver, which will be quite slow. If you were playing on Linux, this may explain the problem. On Windows, it would already use FFP as far as I can tell.

To confirm this, it would help to see your system_info.txt from the game's log folder.
