Can't play Oblivion with HDR

[Lanceor]

It's probable that your graphics chip can't handle complex lighting in HDR mode. There are many varieties of "Intel HD Graphics" with the newer ones being better than the older ones. But none of them were really intended for gaming and might not support or struggle with advanced graphics technologies.

 

If you'd like us to analyse it further, run a DXDiag (Start Menu > Run > type dxdiag.exe ) and save the information somewhere. Copy and paste the information in a spoiler tag.

Finallly got HDR to work on Intel Graphics Family! using cancausecancer's suggestion I looked under \Documents\My Games\Oblivion\RenderInfo.txt and realized that the shader model was set on 2. I went to \Data\Shaders and swapped the file names of shaderpackage0002.sdp and shaderpackage0019.sdp. and that fixed the problem for me, hope it helps you guys out.

Yeah, I have intel graphics card as well. I think intel isn't compatible with it, but the weird thing is I have soooo many other games that also run HDR with no issue. But oblivion just won't let me.

I agree, maybe intel is just cut out off it not that friendly with some games

many said better using ATI vga card series

sadly.... mine using nVdia 730gt on laptop

15-30 fps is enough keep me happy gaming on Oblivion

I got this to work for me by renaming shaderpackage002.sdp shaderpackage0002.sdp, then changing the name of shaderpackage019.sdp to shaderpackage002.sdp, and then renaming shaderpackage0002.sdp (the original shaderpackage002.sdp) to shaderpackage019.sdp.
