Two-stick shooter ECS Pure tutorial error - Instancing is not supported

Tried to start Two-stick shooter ECS Pure tutorial project at my old macbook (2010, GeForce 330m) and got an error:

InvalidOperationException: Instancing is not supported.

Is there a way to run a sample at the configuration? Or the laptop stops to fit minimal system requirements?

 

I think I had the same error last week (not entirely sure it was the same). You need to enable GPU instancing on the shader associated with your material

 

If a material doesn't have "Enable GPU Instancing" flag, you will get another error:

InvalidOperationException: Material needs to enable instancing for use with DrawMeshInstanced.
