The GTS 250 is a decade old GPU, and the minimum specs I'm seeing for the game list the GT 620 at a minimum. There's a nonzero chance the GTS 250 simply lacks certain functionality needed for Surviving Mars to work, period.

For example, the GTS 250 only supports OpenGL 3.0, and the current release is 4.6.
