Help required with graphics card

[welly]

I need some help with my new laptop.

 

HP Pavilion Media Center HDX9160 Notebook

Genuine Windows Vista® Home Premium 32-bit

Intel® Core™ 2 Duo processor T7500 2.2 GHz x 2

4096 MB (2 x 2048 MB)

500 GB (2 x 250 GB) SATA Hard Disk Drive 5400rpm

20.1” WSXGA+ High-Definition HP Ultra Brightview Widescreen Display

ATI™ Mobility Radeon™ HD 2600 XT with up to 2047MB Total Available Graphics Memory 256MB dedicated.

 

I have installed Heat from the CD and Essentials and although the game works fine the graphics in race are messed with blocks of black appearing and sometimes parts of the car are missing, mainl y the odd wheel here and there (it varies). This appears to be totally random. I have tried all resolution and quality settings.

 

ATI say they don't have any new drivers for the card in it's mobile form to download from their site but the laptop manufacturers will be supplying them. HP do not have a later one listed.

 

Anyone have any ideas?

Graphics problem now sorted.

 

I now have another problem. When trying to play online as soon as i hit enter after typing in the password it crashes and produces the following file.

 

Any help much appreciated.

 

P.S. Anyone with mobility graphics card problems pm me for info.

possible ui file for online missing welly or wrong one.

[welly]

You may have something there Tosh but i'm not sure how to check this.

 

Could it be the way I have installed Heat?

 

I installed Heat, I think the final one was from essentials.

Then I installed one Mod think it was F1 first as this seemed the more stable at the time.

Then I copied the whole Hasbro folder from my old machine.

its possible m8, i always used to install the mods properly then copy the skins & setups back in by hand, i have a feeling the problem may be in copying the mod over rather than installing......

[Guest Scrapman53]

I've always just installed Heat Essentials, Bangers V1 (to get the car manager working) then copy my old Nascar Heat folder over and never had any probs. Takes 5 minutes to do rather than installing everything again.

[welly]

I am now at a total loss with this. Have tried everything I can think of and other stuff I have found on forums. Can anyone please shed some light.

 

I have managed to get the graphics mainly sorted.

I have done all the Dual Core stuff mentioned on here and elsewhere and tried every possible variant.

I can connect to all the UK Dirt servers but then it crashes when I hit return after entering the password.

I have disabled all Firewalls (must be ok as it connects).

All other games I have installed run perfectly although I have not tried them online as i dont play any other game online other than Heat.

 

Not sure about the UI res Tosh mentioned, I just copied the ones from my old machine, will this be a problem as they are from an XP machine as opposed to the awful Vista on the new one.

 

Any help will be much appreciated.

Hi Welly,

 

I have the same Graphics problem, just what did you do with the Graphics to sort it?

 

Multiplayer have you tried running the game in compatibility mode with Windows XP selected? and try running on CPU1 instead of 0. For some reason when I try CPU1 it runs better.

 

Cheers

Hi Lakey

 

Sorry for the delayed response.

 

Is yours a laptop or does it have a Radeon Mobilty card? If so then there is a program than can help you.

 

The problem lies with the Laptop manufacturers who wont allow the graphics card manufacturers to update the drivers. They reckon that if people use non mobility drivers fro their cards it can cause problems, so they write some code into any driver updates that stop it replacing any drivers that are stamped MOBILITY. A clever German has designed a program that takes this coding out of the driver updates allowing you get the latest drivers installed get it here Its quite a complicated proccess to set up but then easy once its done.

 

Hope this helps, any problems you can pm me tel. No. and i'll try and help.

 

Cheers

 

Welly
