I get a crazy popup that says that my graphics card is incompatible. If it was then why can I go to every other place in the game? Either way I'm looking for any kind of fix. I'm assuming it is going to be a third party fix. If you are just going to post telling me to buy a new graphics card then refrain from posting. I'll post a screenshot if requested.

Isn't that asking a bit much?

What video card are you using Blades?

Afaik, you can't really fix it very well, however, there is a way around it. If you put your game in windowed mode, and minimize the game immediately after you run through the portal, your map will load successfully. Make sure to give it a handful of seconds to load though.

Intel graphics perchance???

Ok then, I won't tell you to buy a new graphics card. Instead I'll just tell you that you probably have a cheap-ass system with Intel Integrated Graphics and the only thing you can do is read the sticky and try some of those tweaks from Moriz's link. Next thing you can do is to find out if your computer even has a graphics card slot, because you'll want to know that when you realize that getting a video card is the only real solution.
(Technically speaking, IIG is not a video "card", so you don't need a "new" video card, since you don't have any yet.)

the game might look less pretty but append these two commands onto GW's shortcut.

-dx8 -noshaders

And terrain quality is the kiss of death. That one change slowed my old graphics card more than anything else.

He might also have an old laptop, but while mine is almost 3 years old now, I can go everywhere. But last time I upgraded it (month ago), it didn't have a mobile graphic card slot.

So his PC/laptop might not have one either.
