Another error...

[Baldir]

ATI I thought

I'll take a quick look

Yep ATI or do you need more info about it (where can I find it Rofl)

and thanks for the replies now

[Baldir]

I have patience, but I'm waiting for quite a while now since I first posted my problem... There's a limit to everything you know...

[mroilfield]

well when what I suggested didn't work I ran out of ideas.

As far as the patience thing goes you have two options.

1. Continue to patiently wait for some one that knows how to fix your problem to volunteer their time to help you. Since no one here gets paid for the assistance they give they tend to help people as they can and when their time allows not when the person with the problem thinks they have to have it solved by.

2. If you can't wait to be able to play a game then you could always look for additional help elsewhere

Actually- a bump once a week would be acceptable. I usually don't go past my first page of unread posts. Sorry I can't bring anything relevant to the issue though 

[Baldir]

I don't want to be ungratefull, but it sometimes takes a while before some1 finally posts something. And when I post something like my post above, I get replies.

So yes, I'll wait, but I hope it's worth it...

[BC_Programmer]

you've waited this long and yet done nothing to find out what your actual video adapter is. check device manager.

It sounds to me that your drivers are not installed properly or your card is not returning the proper GLstrings or DX caps for the game to realize that the card has TnL... or it doesn't have TnL in the first place.

[Baldir]

I haven't told anyone cause I don't know where to find it  ... I told you guys I'm a noob.

All my other games work properly, so I don't know what's wrong?

[Baldir]

Hi again guys.

Take a look at this link please.

Click here.

This guy has almost same problem.

But I don't really understand much of what they say.

Also, I don't think I'm able to download a more recent Graphic driver from ATI. When I got my new hard disk and they tried to reinstalled my drivers, they couldn't install the ATI graphic driver cause it was to new or just didn't worked on my laptop, so they found an even older version which finally worked...

Is this more helpfull to you guys?

Greetz,
Baldir

[Baldir]

Also, I tried to do what this guy did (about the driver thingy)

This is what I could find so far :

Chiptype : ATI U1 (C6)
DAC-Type : Internal DAC(350MHz)
Memory and something else, space? (it's in Dutch so I have to translate) 16 MB
Adaptersignseries : Mobility U1
BIOS-info : BK5.0.0 VR001.000.006.004.010.000.001.001 c

a 16MB Graphics card is not going to be enough to run Battlefront...I have played it before, and even on m 128MB 9700 Pro it was barely playable on medium with a 2.5GHz Celeron...then I tried BF2....i just about cried.

[Baldir]

I guess there is no way to update/upgrade it for free, not?

Guess I'll just have to wait till I ever get a better laptop/computer.
Otherwise, how much would a new graphic card be (like kinda very new, with almost all new features) and would it work on a 6 year old laptop?

Also, I have Halo, and my graphic card is a bit to low for it, but it still runs. Graphics are slightly worse but I'm used to it and it ain't that bad.

Is the graphic card able to stop the game from launching? Normally it would just start but with horrible graphic then, not?

[Kurtiskain]

A laptops graphics card is very rarely upgradeable.

If the graphics card's specs do not cover what the game needs, then yes you are correct in saying that the game will not open.

[Baldir]

k that sucks. Well, at least I know what the prob is now ty
