Problem when trying to play TM2:Stadium

Hey.

Today, I tried to play TM2:Stadium, and I saw that I couldn't play it due to an error. This is what appears when I try to play this game:

Hardware vertex shader are required (your device supports only software vertex shaders)
Do you still want to continue? Yes/No.


When I press yes, it shows me this:
The graphic card does not support the minimum requirements of the game (DirectX9=ShaderModel2).

I tried updating my graphic card and re-installing Maniaplanet, but stills..
I had a problem with my hard-disk 2 weeks ago, and I changed it. I played this game before I had this problem, but now I can't.

My graphic card is: AMD radeon HD 5450, if it helps to find a solution.

Probably you did not install the same video drivers as the game perhaps still has in the configuration files (if you took a backup of your ManiaPlanet folder).

I recommend you delete the file Default-SystemConfig.Gbx in your Windows documents\ManiaPlanet\Config folder and try again.

I deleted that file, but nothing changed.
I also tried uninstalling everything about Maniaplanet and then installing it again, but still appears the same problem.

Hello Xerox,
please make sure that you have the latest version of the AMD drivers, aka Catalyst, installed.
It seems as if that might be the problem

Could you please try the debug version (see link in my signature) and then upload the resulting logfile for us?

I've downloaded that version, and when I try to open .exe, it appears another error.
It tells that libwebp.dll is missing.

that's very very strange, normally it gets installed.
I'll send you a PM with a link to that file from my setup.

Which exact version of Windows are you running?

Windows 7 Home Premium.
Where do I need to put those files? (PM ones).

sorry for the late reply. The files go simply along with ManiaPlanet.exe (typically c:\Program Files(x86)\ManiaPlanet\)
