Graphics card not supported FIX.
First, create a shortcut for the games .exe and put it on the desktop.
Then, go to properties, ''target'' and in target, type in -nosettinglimit.
Obviously, leave what's in the target there, and make a space, then put in the -''nosettinglimit'' and boom, your game will work.
(Worked for me!)

Ah, didn't know that.
Damn.

No problem. Actually, I probably shouldn't have said anything, since I think a lot of people (myself, guiltily included) forget to even check the stickied threads in some forums.

Your name looks familiar.
Have we seen each other before?

This may seem stupid but I go into my properties and I don't see anything that has to do with a target? Help? sorry to bug ya!

When you right-click a shortcut, the first part should be a "Target type:", a "Target location:", and then a "Target:". That last one should contain the path to the actual file (which would be the .exe in this case, for the game).

Here's a random file I created a shortcut on my desktop, and this is what was in the target field:
C:\Users\CrimsonHawk\Desktop\tasdeal.txt

In the case of the game, it would end with .exe instead. So, you would make the line look like this instead:

C:\Users\CrimsonHawk\Desktop\tasdeal.txt -nosettingslimit

Note the space between the extension and the -nosettingslimit.

And this is just one way to do it. You can also follow the instructions in the link above and right-click the game in your Steam library for the game. You probably won't see any file or path info at all, and you would just put the -nosettinglimit into the Launch options box. Same effect.

I tried what you told me and it wont let me change any of those settings. I also tried through Steam and when I did it in the launch options it didn't change anything either

The command is -nosettingslimit - with an "S" after setting.
