Game crashes at start

Post by midgard30 »

Hi,

When I start the game, I got this error message: "ERROR: map shader program failed to link. Implementation limit of 16 active fragment shader samples (...)", then the game closes. Apparently, my system is using 31 samples.

Can't run it, I'm using a Windows 11 ARM with Parallel Desktop on a Macbook M1.

As far as I know, it's not possible to run AB2 on Mac because of their poor OpenGL support.

Well, I was afraid of that kind of answer, and it doesn’t make me happy. That’s unfortunate because all my games from Matrix and other publishers works perfectly fine, including Armored Brigade 1 and other 3D games like the Troop and Second Front.

I bought the game from Matrix instead of Steam using my anniversary coupon. So now I lost my money and my rebate.

Is there anyway to get a refund?

AB may or may not work on other operating systems, but officially AB2 requires Windows 10 or Windows 11. Mac is not supported and is not listed on the product pages.
