Installing AOM, "This graphics card is not supported by Age of Mythology"
« on: August 17, 2007, 03:18:07 PM »
I installed Age of Mythology and upon attempting to run the newly insstalled program I receive the following error message:

"This graphics card is not supported by Age of Mythology" Video Card 0: vtdisp.dll VIA/S3G UniChrome IGP Vendor(0x1106) Device(0x7205)

Can I get this to work somehow or am I going to have to spend hundreds of dollars for a new Nvidia or ATI graphics card?

Looks like people have indeed been getting around this.  From a different forum is this.  Maybe it will help you.

Hi,
This was the message given by my system when i tried to play AOM

This graphics card is not supported by age of mythology

"Video Card 0: vtdisp.dll VIA/S3G KM400/KN400 Vendor(0x1106) Device(0x7205)"

My system & display device info is as follows,

I used the information in the error message and did the following and got a good result. I played the whole day without crashing.

1. I went to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Age of Mythology\gfxconfig and opened 0x1039_sis.gfx with notepad and saved as 0x1106_via.gfx.

2. I changed the following information in it and saved it

Vendor=VIA
defaultdevice=via1106.gfx
[device]
0x7205=VIA/S3G KM400/KN400,via1106.gfx

3. I opened sis315.gfx in the same folder and saved it as via1106.gfx.


Thanks for VIA Arena Forums
