Bought BB2, got what seem like a graphics problem
I have an about 8-10 year old laptop and when i bought BB2 in Steam and start the game i get this popup: "Bloodbowl 2 requires that your graphics hardware be compatible with DirectX 11 or OpenGL 3.3." Does anyone know what to make out of this. Thanks.

Sounds like your graphics card isn't compatible with DirectX 11 and/or OpenGL 3.3 - it's to old and/or not powerful enough (I couldn't play it on my laptop, even if I wanted to, for the same reason).

Yes it's your graphics card. Needs to be DirectX 10 compatible. I had to upgrade my desktop's graphics card to play.
If yours is an old laptop you'll be way off beam.
Run Dxdiag.exe from a command line and it should tell you what you've got atm.

I bought BB2 on Steam when it was in a sale and couldn't get it to run on my laptop - it's got quite a high requirement for capability. Ended up getting a refund from Steam

Me too exactly, i thought the game being a turn based one would lower its demand enough. Thanks everybody!howlinggriffon wrote:I bought BB2 on Steam when it was in a sale and couldn't get it to run on my laptop - it's got quite a high requirement for capability. Ended up getting a refund from Steam

You might be able to get BB1 (legendary or Chaos Edition) to run if you want (rubbish AI) single player and multiplayer, or there's FUMBBL if you don't mind the pixel art style for multiplayer.
