Doomsday engine fail to start due to shader problem? [old HW]

zoltan87

I have an IBM Thinkpad T60 laptop from 2007, specs as follow: Core 2 Duo T7600, Ati Mobility Radeon x1400 128Mb, 3Gb RAM.

When I try to launch doomsday engine, the following error message comes up:
"
[LinkerError] (GLProgram::link) Linking failed:
Fragment shader(s) failed to link, vertex shader(s) failed to link..
"
Is my laptop too old and is not supported? If so, then where can I find older versions of doomsday engine that could run on my hardware? I was soo looking forward to play again my childhood favourite games, but things don't look too encouraging soo far. Thanks for any help in advance.

It sounds like the GPU is a bit too old, yeah... You might have luck running one of these versions:

• 1.12.2 (last one before post-processing shader effects were added)
• 1.11.2 (first to require OpenGL 2; not many shaders used yet)
• 1.10.4 (last one with official Windows XP support)

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!! The 1.10.4 release works just great. I am so glad I can play them again, and wow, this engine really boosts up the visuals, and mouse support too. I was about to use DOSbox to emulate these games, but using this engine gives a 1000 times better and smoother results.

Thank you again!
