em4 demo not working

[Guest jaylee]

hello everybody,

i've bee trying to play emergency4 demo on my laptop, but the game didn't even start. The screen goes black for a second and then the game crashes.

system specs:

intel t7100 core 2 duo

ati hd2600 256mb ram pci-e

2048mb ram

windowsxp

my logfile would suggest that it's a problem with my graphic card, but i have a modern, non-integrated accelerator.

does this game support pci-express graphics? i have latest driver

can this issue be solved somehow? i wanted to buy this game but since i can't even get this demo to work - i won't

Hi and to the forum. Update your graphic drivers, if this doesnt work your graphic card doesnt support the required functions and the game won't work.

well, i just found out that i can run this game on the same machine, but with windows vista and catalyst 7.8.

it doesn't hovewer work on windowsxp with the newest catalyst, which is 7.11.

that's good news, but unfortunately vista is not very good for playing games and performance is, well... unacceptable

thanks anyway. problem solved.
