The "No Lighting" bug in Spark Editor

Hello, I've been reading through as many forums posts as I could which mentioned that in some peoples cases, everything is pitch black. Like most of the others I have a card around the same range as others (Radeon X800 XT card). I noticed somebody mentioned that this was due to card support of DirectX9.0b only however I ran DxDiag and found I have DirectX9.0c so this can't possibly be the problem can it? That and I also noticed sadly that the same person mentioned that the Devs are not going to be addressing this issue even though I noticed a forum administrator mention they would. I'm just curious to know if it will in fact be addressed for the older cards. I have a good computer to play games on but on breaks from school I tend to use my older computers so I don't have to bother lugging the thing back :P I apologize if I missed an answered post on this before. Thanks.

Can't wait for Alpha xD

    to clear up something, the card only support Pixel Shader and Vertex Shader 2.0b, a feature in NS2 needs PS 3.0 to run.
