So I am one of those who has not been able to run Gladius sence the Vulcan patch, I have tried time and again to keep my graphics card up to date but nothing seams to work.
Tho I guess that I just need to get a new graphics card...
Any help would be appreciated!

This game was such a blast per our 'lan' parties.
Super stable & pure fun
Sadly, after the 'Vulcan' crap, some of our laptops (very good ones) became unusable.
I (we) haven't played since.

no i didn't buy a new one just updated my current video card, what video card do you have? if your video card is up to date and cant run the game then probably you'll need a new one but im not 100% sure

So I've got this issue too. Are we just fucked?
Is there anyway to Roll back this nightmare change? I've got 25hours in the game so I can't refund it now but I also cannot play it.

I would assume so, if you have all your drivers up to date and it does not work.
Well on Steam you can rollback to a Legacy pree-Vulcan patch.
