WelshManDan Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 I have major graphical problems when improving my settings from all low to high. I will say that on Low the game runs fine and is perfect, but this is what happens when I turn up the settingshttp://img171.imageshack.us/img171/1325/em42011012414113560.jpghttp://img833.imageshack.us/img833/4614/em42011012414140658.jpgSo that is on high with all shadows enabled. I will admit that this is probably my graphics card, which is an onboard Intel Express 965 (however it has no problems like this in any other game)http://img502.imageshack.us/img502/6127/em42011012414141961.jpghttp://img52.imageshack.us/img52/7268/em42011012414143119.jpgSo whats what happens when I turn the shadows off, notice that I can actually see the details now, but there is an extremely weird graphics problem.When I turn down my Color Depth to 16 bit this is what happenshttp://img513.imageshack.us/img513/4369/em42011012414151726.jpg----------------------------Now, I can live with the game on Low details, however I would really like to improve my Resolution. I have tried all of the explained solutions in this forum and others, but it seems my problem is different to what these are solutions for. http://img153.imageshack.us/img153/4452/em42011012414163087.jpgUp to 1280x1024, and the resulthttp://img651.imageshack.us/img651/2956/em42011012414163867.jpgAnd incase you think I have zoomed in to show detail, this is what the game does by itself when I change the resolution. Has anyone had this problem? I cant even move this zoomed in section, but I can still move the mouse and select the options (albeit I cant see them thanks to the zoom level) When I change the resolution manually in the em4.cfg, my game no longer runs (I have to run it as Admin all the time anyway. More details about my system - Vista Home Premium 32 bitIntel Core 2 duo T5550 @1.83GHz3.00GB Ram Mobile Intel 965 Express Chipset Family (and yes, I have the latest drivers)-----------As I said, I dont mind that much about the graphics problem (but would obviously like to improve the settings), the real problem is the Resolution.

WelshManDan Posted January 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 Any ideas at all? Can anyone even help with just the resolution problem at the bottom? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WelshManDan Posted January 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 Could a Moderator lock this thread? I found out a way to fix this, I changed the various options (RES=1440x900, 32Bit etc) in the Winterberg Configurator, then launched any other mods and they run with the settings No errors!

Xplorer4x4 Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 Could a Moderator lock this thread?Why? It hanst violated any rules, and it could potentially be useful to some one in the future. That aside, yeah...get a video card, not an on bard GPU. These suck period. Even something like an ATI 5650 which is a cheap investment, and probably replaced by a 6000 series card I am not aware of, is a great investment compared to the junk chips Intel pushes out..

WelshManDan Posted January 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 True actually I just meant that it served its purpose, but I can see that it would be useful to others.And yeah, unfortunately its a Laptop, so im screwed with it really :/ cant change any of it except adding more RAM, which is the one thing that doesnt need upgrading :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WelshManDan Posted January 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 Hmm I havent got any ideas how to solve it, rather than the accidental way I did.Try downloading the Winterberg mod, then when your in the configurator, change the resolution to whatever resolution suits your screen (or a scaled down one)and then save the details. Launch the winterberg mod and see if it works (it takes a long time for mine to load past the black screen, literally 10minutes) if the mod loads with no errors, exit to desktop and try launching other mods/the original game. Only solution I can think of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xplorer4x4 Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 just got windows 7, got the same issue, but my screen is 16:9 but the display is centred like 9:9 in the centre, any ideas?You mean theres black bars on each side of the screen? You need to manually edit the em4 config file(x_res and y_res i think) to match your monitors resolution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
