Help! When I Try To Play PA It Loads For 2 Sec Then Freezes And Says Not Responding And Says Its Has to Stop. I cant Fix it on Steam. I Tried Restarting. Deleting and Re Installing.
We should make a bot that automatically posts "Upload your DxDiag and ensure your drivers are updated" on threads that say "not working" or "not responding" in them.
ok i'll bite. I've been fightin this for over a year and I did my updates and other things I was told. maybe this will finally resolve my issues and i will finally get to play
Your graphics drivers still outdated: Code: Card name: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260M Driver Date/Size: 7/2/2009 00:59:00, 9480192 bytes You need download and install latest drivers from Nvidia website: http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/57622/en-us Unfortunately it's looks like Nvidia dropped mobility graphics drivers updates for Vista so drivers I linked above still too old for PA. You can try to install one for Windows 7, but I don't think it's will work so possible you'll have to upgrade your OS if you want to play this game.
Funny fact, but sometimes AMD drivers from 2010 able to actually run PA. With lot of glitches like missing textures and invisible units, but they actually let people go in-game. For Nvidia on Windows any drivers older than summer of 2013 it's instant crash on start which isn't a bad thing, at least players update them.
Vista?! People still; use that crap OS?! That like saying... Hey! This person still uses Windows 98 XD
Your laptop have 1st generation of Intel integrated graphics: Unfortunately this graphics is too old and can't run this game because it's only support OpenGL 2.1 while game need 3.X. So you need new hardware to run PA.
OK thank you for your time. I will check nvidia for newer drivers for that. I installed new ones when I was asked to, but how long that was I am unsure. Yes I know vista was crap, but the hoops to jump thru on the update to 7 made my head spin. I have the disk to do it just hate the associated grief. I'll report back after I do another update.
My game crashes when I start it too and I don't really know much about drivers so if someone could help that would be great.
I upgraded the vid drivers as requested. I was behind by at least 2 of them. I am finally seeing progress. Thank you very much! You are a tech God!
First you need to update your drivers for Intel integrated graphics: Code: Card name: Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000 Driver Date/Size: 2/14/2012 14:47:38, 8086528 bytes To update drivers download and install "Win64_153322.exe" from Intel website: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&ProdId=3712&DwnldID=23885 If you get "not validated for this computer" error download ZIP version of driver ("Win64_153322.zip") from same page and then install it using this instruction: http://steamcommunity.com/app/233250/discussions/2/558749190911446231/ Then for discrete NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M: http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/75992/en-us Also by default game is running on slow integrated graphics so I recommend you configure your drivers to run it on Nvidia GPU. For details check "Laptops and hybrid graphics" section in this topic: http://steamcommunity.com/app/233250/discussions/2/864980278116578701/
YES! It indeed did run and I played an ai and lost. Learning curve on where things are and how to do things. When I posted it was doing over almost a gig of game updates as it has been way behind. BTW I'm use to when i set them to patrol that the patrol back n forth from start point to send point. Like I said learning curve. Again Thank you for the help! No more crashing.
