Absolutely. It discards all the real shaders without that. The program is
statically linked with a very old d3dx9, maybe newer versions are OK with Null
valudator even if validation is requested. This one returns the error from
d3dx9 shader linking function in this case (E_FAIL 0x80000405)

Google suggests that yes (at least windows 7, not sure about later). There are
some tricks with game configuration files discussed in the forums though. But
it is lkely mainly due to gorgeous configuration files which list all the
graphic cards they know and has plenty specific feature configuration flags.
