I believe I have a pretty standard laptop (Win7, x64), which you can observe from the DxDiag. I have a NVidia 610 and explicitly set this game to run using that graphics card. I also tried running it with my Intel 4000, but that doesn't work either. I'm also not playing on a dual head, or with any external monitor. History so far: I downloaded the game yesterday via Steam. I double click the game in the Steam library. The game loads and usually enters the main screen where I have to Accept or Reject the ToS Before I can click, the sound stops, my cursor turns into the Windows default, and I either force-quit via the TaskManager or I click the error box. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Your Intel graphics drivers outdated: Code: Card name: Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000 Driver Date/Size: 2/17/2012 19:28:48, 8087040 bytes To update drivers download and install "win64_153318.exe" from Intel website: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=23714 If you get "not validated for this computer" error then download ZIP version of driver ("win64_153318.zip") from same page and then install it using this instruction: http://steamcommunity.com/app/233250/discussions/2/558749190911446231/ I suppose drivers for NVIDIA GeForce 610M is outdated too, so download and install latest version from Nvidia website: http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/73784/en-us
