Windows vista graphics error

update your driver for the Intel onBoard Grafiks

I’d be inclined to first try lower resolutions from both the desktop and also inside FL - 600x800 and 1024x768.

If it’s the same then secondly try plain FL without any patches.

If it’s then still the same try an older Intel driver, the latest driver pack from 2007 for my 82852/82855 is screwy, causes a screen reset on every boot and wierd shadows and graphic and colour shifts even in normal use, the previous one from 2006 works fine.

What was the fix?

Looks to me like some sort of XML error. Could be wrong though.

If I recall correctly we already had one, two or three persons who reported the same problem. Can’t find the threads, though, but iirc it was connected to a shitty video card.
When did you got your video card btw?`Do you use a tower or a laptop/notebook machine?
If tower machine, do you have any other graphics card you could equip to your computer?

It is the laptop? Similar something from video.

On my laptop with integrated intel video card in some hours of game still had only interface frame - it was necessary to reboot :))

Intel 82945G Chipset
64 MB video ram

there’s ye problem… intel chipset don’t play nice, i’ve seen this 100 times or more & with only 64mb … that’s gonna lead to more probs even with a nice processer & gigs of ram.

check for a cheapish Card… even an old Radeon 9550 is more than sufficient than a intel chipset… which is mainly just for simple graphics & pictures… enough to handle a webpage or .doc file… but crap for games.

I have also seen this on the “latest” of intel chipsets, even found it wont take ENB (no gfx device error). there is no known fix i know of… exept 1 & that wont help u here… (using ENB just for the dx9 wrapper with all the bloom & other fx switched to 0)

Here’s a screen from using just an ATI MobilityRedeon X600 card and I see it as good to go but, as you say, some cards do just suck.

I keep this card updated regularly.

An old screen for when I gamed on Plasmafire.

FL2Systems mod.

Same card with Forsaken’s patch added to the mod. Np here either.

I’ve had no problems even with this X600. My LT was made in 2003 and I’ve played Freelancer on it every since. Same card just regular updates for it and to include that patch by LS.

However, I do have other systems that have better cards but for playing the game, I still use my laptop to do so.

It may not be his card because I’ve seen this problem before on my systems then one minute later it was gone. Not sure what I done but it went away.

Has this guy dl’d the fix from EOA yet?
