What are those missing features? I can play crysis 2 low settings but D3 does not even start. Any way to fix this?

My favorite part of this thread is that even after posting twice he still hasn't actually posted what graphics card or driver/OS he is using.

This is something that I have found on an other forum and it helped me alot with my ATI HD2600 pro 512mb AGP.

You could try this :

Go to libraries/documents/diablo III

Inside, you will find a file named "D3Prefs". Open it.

Change these lines :

- DisableTrilinearFiltering "0"
- HardwareClass "0"

For these lines :

- DisableTrilinearFiltering "1"
- HardwareClass "1"

Save it and run the game.

I think the only way to bypass that would be spoofing the vendor id and device id of your card. I think the game checks if your card is in the "allowed" list using those.
I was interested in the same, did some research and found 2 softwares that can spoof those values reported by directx to the game:

3D Analyzer

and

DXtweaker

BUT they don't work with diablo unfortunately, since they need to be fed an exe and diablo has a launcher.

If anyone wants to look further into this, you're welcome. I hate that I can run SC2 fine and I can't run this beta.

Get a new video card ... simple as that

Oh man, I had been loking in the wrong place.. Thanks to Dakross suggestion, I checked D3Prefs in the documents folder and just substituted this:

PCIVendor "4098"
PCIDevice "26393"

to my values. To the game I'm running it on an ATI Radeon HD 6950, and I can start it fine.

Thanks again to Dakross for that pointer, I didn't even imagine spoofing the values would have been this easy. :P

Intel's GMA chipsets are notorious for incompatibility. I've owned two laptops that use those chips and the general idea is that you don't get anything that uses them if you want to play games (other than WoW).

Although it's interesting that you're able to play Crysis 2, since it's usually various shader features that Intel doesn't bother with (or implements wrong).

Unfortunately, unless it's a bug (and it probably isn't, Intel's graphic chipsets are missing a lot of features and functionality) you won't be able to play Diablo 3 with that.

It's an imbedded chipset, so if it's a laptop he can't. Although I /think/ the X4500 is for PC motherboards, in which case: get a new video card. Any cheap, recent Nvidia or AMD will do fine.

How does the game run on these chips?
