Game wont open ("your graphics card doesnt support alpha blending")

[milk_mug]

Has anyond had this problem before? I get a message saying "Your video card does npt support alpha blending with floating point render targets (D3DFMT_A16B16G16R16F), which is requqired to run this game. Exiting..." Ive played i BL2 on this computer heaps and now it won't work. My drivers are up to date. Anyone know what to do?

You might have to reinstall your drivers. Your pc might be using the default graphics chip on your motherboard.

Check by going to device manager and display adapters. See if it is showing your graphics card.

---SOLVED---
I have the card set to auto update which it did not too long ago so its up to date. I Tried manually downloading and reinstalling it and it now works.

[milk_mug]

--Broke again---
Its done it again. I checked my display adapters and my graphics card is there. I dont want to have to reinstall the driver everytime I play. Anyone got any idea?

System specs? card, windows version etc are you running? may help to solve or find solutions.

Ok, this is probably nothing like your problem. but my computer at work, seems to have a little bit flakey BIOS and if it's powered down, once in a rare while, it will forget my monitor is a ViewSonic, and instead it assumes I have the most basic possible "VGA" monitor. it sets windows to a tiny 640x480 resolution.

My guess is something with the new video driver is not being recognized by the game. Can you turn off auto-updates for your video driver, and then see if it will let you "rollback" to the previous driver? Just a though you could try.

[milk_mug]

I downloaded an older driver from about 4 updates ago and the game works again, but I havent turned off my computer since so i'm not too sure if it actually fixed it or its just working this one time.

[milk_mug]

Just turned the computer on and it now wont launch again. This is getting annoying? Could it have something to do with my graphics card dying? Someyimes when playing wow the screen will go black then come back a few seconds later and say the card stopped working. Ill have to restart wow too as the graphics go buggy but fine after a restart.

How do you download a older driver?

[Raizen]

Amd and Nvidia usually have the older versions archived. Not really far back, but a good amount.

[Frankie Snot]

I'm having the same problem only I installed the latest GTX Driver and it still gives me the same error. This is making me really angry because I was just playing Rocket League last night. Can someone help me with this?

[Metal_Alchemist]

solved, i had this problem right after i downloaded my NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX drivers this morning all i did was go to device manager find your driver click in properties and rollback driver(this will rollback your drivers to the last update before the one you did ), you´ll have to restart your computer and its done.

[Frankie Snot]

Will this fix my problem?
