I have a feeling your drivers are outdated, but the DxDiag doesn't even show that information.

i Think they are up to date but i also cant see what drivers are installet when i watch in dxdiag.

Looks like you need to reinstall your drivers.

So after hours i have now the actual drivers for my Graphiccard and they are showen in the DXdiag.
but now till have the problemm that when i start PA:T it pops up in a window and crashs a few seconds later with the message PA.exe has stop working. but this time the window starts and crash black. no "titelscreen" (don't know it is the titelscreen never see it bevor XD) any more.

new DxDiag and crash txt uplodedt

Ps: is it normal that the game starts windowed?

Nope... still old drivers from 2010: Driver Date/Size: 9/9/2010 22:52:02

You need up to date drivers.

Well that sucks
i let my computer chek ffor updates and he tells me they are the newest up to date drivers he could found . dame it .

do you maybe know were the actuall drivers are. i mean were i can download these. (sry for my bad englisch) cause auto detect and download from AMD still downloads me the drivers for the 5000er series and i need some for the 6000er series.

PS AMD have issues by finding correct drivers cause the ID Nummber of the CHIP is the same like in the 5000er series

Try:

• http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop/legacy?product=legacy3&os=Windows 7 - 64

Well, i tryed both of the installers in the link with same ending. it installs drivers for 5000er series. i don't know what make's so hard that a auto-updater chose the rigth driver. screw you AMD. Hope anybody could solve that problem.

But thank you anyway for tthe fast and good support.

Can you post a dxdiag of what it installed from:

• http://www2.ati.com/drivers/amd-catalyst-15.7.1-with-dotnet45-win7-64bit.exe

do you mean a dxdiag from the wrong installed 5000er series?

ps the link you send me dosent work cause amd dosent alowe it. can you give me the sitelink were the downloadlink is?

The ATI Mobility Radeon HD 6550 is actually a rebranded ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 with same chipset ID so the installer gets it wrong.

Download these instead:

• http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp50501-51000/sp50640.exe

Also update your Intel drivers with:

• https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/24971/Intel-HD-Graphics-Driver-for-Windows-7-8-64-bit

so good and bad news
good news the link and installation of the AMD drivers works.

Bad News Intell dosen't works ,cause i have "customized manufatured driver installed and a generic driver could make isuess" (Thats what the intel updater say)

Also a New DxDiag

Actually no.... either that install didn't work on the HP driver is from 2010:

• Driver Date/Size: 9/9/2010 22:52:02

Go back to this driver even if it looks like it's installing the wrong version:

• http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop/legacy?product=legacy3&os=Windows 7 - 64

For the Intel drivers you might need to uninstall the existing HP Intel driver first.

EDIT: Fixed link

Does the driver installed work even though it shows as the wrong card?

If not try manually updating and selecting the driver from the device manager:

• download from http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop/legacy?product=legacy3&os=Windows 7 - 64
• unzip the exe
• device manager > your AMD card > properties > manually select from the unzipped folder

By the way, to override the complaints of the Intel driver installation, instructions are here: http://steamcommunity.com/app/233250/discussions/2/558749190911446231/
Getting those updated may help with your hybrid GPU setup later on once you get the AMD ones installed properly.

Well its a good link but when i try it itt gives me problems by the point "It's should gone back to last window with only one driver to choose from " it shows me there 4 drivers ( Intel(R) HD, Intel(R) HD 3000, Intel(R) HD 4000, Intel(R) HD P 3000) and i don't know wich one is the rigth. well tryd all of hem and no one works. can it bethat my intel hd grapiccard works in 32 bit and my windows system still is 64 bit? cause on driver details many of them are 32 bit.

Your CPU was Arrandale / Westmere so that would be Intel HD on 64 bit.

Did you manually install the 6550 drivers? Those are the most important.

so i tryd the link and dowloaded both of them (cataclyst and crimson) then i go my devive manger and drivers ,driver update , select from computer, pick from disket and then brose in the unzipet exe . in the drivers category and select the .inf file. and i tried it with every inf file. it always shows me AMD Mobility readon 5000 HD Series. Whats wrong?
