    Yet another sob story about the game not working. Been trying for a few days now with all kinds of fixes on the internet with no such luck. I attached a DxDiag so hopefully that will help someone tell me whats blowing it haha

    Wat. Oh dxdiag, you so funny...

    It appears you have a laptop with both Intel integrated graphics (specifically the Intel GMA 4500MHD going by the system model) and an ATI dedicated graphics card (ATI Radeon HD 3xxx series). The problem is our game cannot run on old integrated graphics and is likely crashing when it tries to. You should be able to force the game to run using the dedicated graphics card by forcing your laptop to use the ATI card.

    That will probably also crash as your video drivers might be a few years old.

    If you do get it to run, the ATI Radeon HD 3xxx series is going to be really slow at running the game. Our cut off point for hardware we want to support is the higher end desktop hardware from about 5 years ago, which would be the generation after the 3xxx series.
