Intel GM 945 mobile graphics & World in Conflict

[m1stersax0n]

This game ran fine before their latest update patch now it bombs out to desktop alot... even at very low settings, even at the benchmark test.

Are you guys gonna communicate over these things or is it going to be like EA and Tiberium Wars all over again!!! I know C&C3 works with this chip even though You BOTH tell us it does'nt on C&C3 settings just use low settings but put your shaders to MEDIUM. Any ho I digress......

WORLD IN CONFLICT ran fine before...... now it doesnt..... I bet if you people communacated more. More Games would run on our little laptops, I KNOW they can, but you guys could really sort it out. Dont force us mere mortals to folk out on 1000 pound PC's there is no need for it most of the time.

I can run high shaders and lots of medium setting on WIC, well I could before the update.
And PS if I get another AAUTOMATIC response about T& bloody L being software etc and an out of date game comapibily list I shall scream! Guys get talkin to the game manufactures.

Do you know what the driver version was that you were using previously and what you are using now?

[m1stersax0n]

Its not your update its the game update. I update every time there is a release for the graphics chip.

A good question you guys is.... In the documentation files on the packard bell website for your chip it says that the maximum memory for my chip is 224mb but I can only achieve 128mb. Why is that?

This relationship between game manufacturers and yourselves and the upkeep of the gaming support website is my only beef, if you like. I love what this little chip can do but I feel that EA and sierra etc do not care for it much. They all support Nvidia ATI and the highend of the market. Your average Jo like me had bought a mid priced PC/Laptop with Intel on board graphics. I dont expect to run on full res with ultra high settings. But I know that the lower to medium settings can be achieved, lazy programming on their part is to blame im sure.

Hmm, not really familar with that game. But you might check to see if there is a config file in the game that has a device list. You could then add your part to that.

On the memory issue, you set the DVMT to max in your BIOS right?

[m1stersax0n]

I would do if that option was in my bios but, boy, is it sparse. All thats in there is date time usb and wireless settings and o, boot order... wow. My laptop as an Packard Bell easynote MV46 v5. I see in the white paper that it mentions setting DVMT to max but I cant. Nevermind, my game ran OK 2 days ago before the update patch so I'll guess I'll have to wait for another release of the patch to fix this one. I just hope that Intel and Massive can sort out whys and what fors. World in Conflict seemed a great game from the offset its a shame that the first patch killed ur graphics engine.

Can you please have a word massgate or sierra reguarding T&L, Vertex shader support for the INTEL GM945 chipsets. They are trying to fob us off with lame excuses for their incompetance. World in Conflict worked perfectly before their first update patch, now its broken it bombs out to desktop. They are trying to say it is because the chip does not support T&L and Vertex shaders. PLEASE>>>>>> HAVE A WORD.

IT WORKED BEFORE!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, I'll ask around to see if we have a contact to talk with them.

I am spaming them since update 1... Demo was fine ,beta to ,retail 1.000 same... but after Update 1... So if you are creating tournaments for WiC ,maybe you can speak with them about creation of updates without "better performace for..." in update 1 so we can again play WiC without stress. It is really anoying when we are reading same awsers or nothing...
P.S. Better perforamce for Intel GMA is like minus 1-2 FPS when playing and crashes ;D. Before ,game stability was so high that I have only few crashes on my Laptop ,no I have 5-10 crashes in 1hour since Update 1.0001. You are our last hope...
