I've been messing with the configurations files in hopes of lowering the graphics even further so that I can play this game without my video card (that crashed and burned, I am waiting the new generation to buy a new one)
I've found the two biggest resource hogs:
The Fog of War shader and the Minimap Shader
The following screenshot is how the game is looking for me, this is running at 60~fps on my onboard card
All I ask is some 'low graphics mode' shader that replaces all the special effects on the FoW and just paints gray where it should be, just like the one that paints black at the map ends (just replacing one for the other did not work, the FoW seems to only work with FOW4.fxo)
The minimap is also slow, but this one I assume that it's not as easy to 'fix'
