Support for Mobile Intel 945GM/GU Express Chipset Family?

[unmerged(87564)]

Hi all,

I am reading this forum, but could never find a topic that handles my problem. Except te FAQ that show how to handle CTD's. But that did not solve my problem.

The problem: When I launch the game, when it is loading its grapics etc. then I has a horizontally half screen. (I don't get angry from this, I could come to the menu of the game).

The next problem: When I launch a Single Player game, then it has an CTD (and I can report my problem to Microsoft). Whatever single player game I want to launch.

Specifications:
Game EU2 patch 1.09
Compaq nc6320 - C2D T5500 @ 1.66GHz - 512 Mb DDR2
And now the most important part of the laptop: ;-)

        Card name: Mobile Intel(R) 945GM/GU Express Chipset Family
     Manufacturer: Intel Corporation
        Chip type: Intel(R) GMA 950
         DAC type: Internal
       Device Key: Enum\PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27A2&SUBSYS_30AA103C&REV_03
   Display Memory: 128.0 MB
     Current Mode: 1024 x 768 (32 bit) (60Hz)
          Monitor: Plug en Play-monitor
  Monitor Max Res: 1600,1200
      Driver Name: igxprd32.dll
   Driver Version: 6.14.0010.4820 (English)
      DDI Version: 9 (or higher)
Driver Attributes: Final Retail
 Driver Date/Size: 8/8/2007 15:07:16, 57344 bytes

I would add to this to all this information:
- DirectX Version = DirectX 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904)
- My screen resolution is 1024x768 (in contrast to what the dxdiag log above shows!)

I honestly hope that you give support for this, because I want to install this on a laptop. I always want to be mobile ;-) but I have also bought EUIII but that did'nt work. So I thought, EUII MUST work, because its a bit older. But no way says my laptop, install it on the desktop pc and leave me alone!

Anyway if you want more specs or more words then I hope to hear it.

Thanks!

I have no real idea what your problem is. What version of Windows are you running? You might try a newer video driver for it from http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Product_Filter.aspx?ProductID=2301

Also, you might try renaming the AVI directory to anything else then running the game.

Thanks, its working now. Now this one works I start to figure out how III can work. III is working, but cant select the different mapmodes. And the background and borders are strange

Thanks

Register your copy of EU3 here by clicking on the My Games/Registrations link above. Then you can see the Tech Support forum under the EU3 forum, where that situation is well documented.
