Vertex: I didn't test the template on a PC with an integrated GPU, but if the latest DirectX drivers are installed, the error message you're seeing is related to a lack of video card capabilities. Better finish and publish your game using A7 if that version of the engine runs fine on your computer or (a much better solution) upgrade your video card.

Blink: Did you check Aum46? I stopped using A6 and wdl a few years ago, but maybe one of the A6 engine users reads this and has a piece of A6 code for Blink?
