Summary

The Multiverse Client and tools require a DirectX 9 compatible graphics card that supports pixel and vertex shader 2.0. The video card should have at least 128 MB of texture memory, preferably 256MB.

If you are experiencing crashes or errors running the client or tools, insufficient graphics hardware may be the root cause.
