Is there anything we can do about vertex/pixel shaders?

Is there a patch/bugfix that disables pixel/vertex shaders so we can run UC on low-end graphics cards? Or is getting a new one the only way we can play?

There is no way to disable the shaders if your card's hardware doesn't support them.

An Nvidia FX5200 with PS 2.0 can be found for around $50.00 on ebay. Not the best out there, but it'll run the game if you have a fast enough CPU.

Prolly I'd look for an ATI 9000 series. They can be had for about $70 and up on ebay. Nvidia MX 440 cards will run the game in space (with older drivers), but the game will freeze on planets or in First Person (trust me on this..I know what I'm talking about).
