Problems with F.E.A.R :(

[organic-meatbag]

Ok, so the game installs fine, and starts fine, and plays fine upto the point where everytime the guy knocks me out (interval 01) and i go back into the building the game quits by itself to desktop and gives me the "send/dont send error report".

My specs:
1.73GHz Intel Duo Core
1 gb Ram
Intel Chipset 128mb graphics card
Win Xp Pro

If the problem was to with my graphics card, surely the game wouldnt even run, right?

I did all those steps Common Game Issues, and still no fix :(

can u obtain the error report ? and yes the game wouldnt run if it was the video card thats causing this.

[gamerman0203]

update the video drivers or the chipset drivers since you are running onboard video.

i have and after i did i uninstalled the game restarted my computer then re installed it but still the same problem in the exact same place. ill try to get the error report to you.

thanks

intel 945GM =gma950 integrated graphics.which is probably not strong enough to play fear.the issue is it is most likely overheating then simply crashing.

[organic-meatbag]

i dont think so i tried saving before the error then turning off the computer then from that point advancing through the lvl butt still same problems in the exact same place heres the error report

[pharoah]

i looked up that dll file it is part of direct-x 9 you might try to reinstall dx9,and see if that fixes it

[organic-meatbag]

ok ill try ill let you know what i find

thanks for helping

[organic-meatbag]

no go i downloaded directx 9.0c but it still wont run. same problem same place ive sent an e-mail to sierra. ill keep you posted.

thanks

[organic-meatbag]

i think i found a solution...the first time i installed directx 9 was off the game itself but my firewall blocked part of it so maybe that file is corrupted so when i asked my dad he looked it up and found that? you could download that .dll file and replace it...do you think it will work i have yet to try it as its 2:00 a.m here.

[pharoah]

yeah i would turn all that off and try to reinstall again.

[organic-meatbag]

ill download the dll and replace it. the reason is that reinstalling wont fix it because its 9.0c december version so even reinstalling wont fix it because the computer thinks nothings wrong with it and its the latest edition.

[organic-meatbag]

Nothing is working.
Anymore suggestions?

[pharoah]

here try this i still believe its the integrated graphics.because it doesnt meet the system requirements.as to the fact it keeps crashing in the same place.i believe you are getting to a point that your graphics are being called on to do something it cant.

ok ive tried everything. i downloaded a file that would boost my stack limit, replaced my .dll files, now im only left with 3 options:

1) downlaod patch 1.03 which fixes crashes see here:http://www.intel.com/support/graphic.../CS-022209.htm
i sometimes get the first error but the main problem is the crash

2) wait for sierra to reply

3) put a size 10 boot through my comuter

if this dosent work i give up.

As pharoah suggested above, follow either of the orange links in my signature, and check that your system meets the requirements. If you're getting "not enough video memory" messages, that just tells me that your system doesn't meet the requirements, which means you'll need to get a video card. Onboard GPU's are not designed to run games.

[organic-meatbag]

im only getting when i try to put the game into maximum settings but it runs fine on high...apart from that crash that happens in the exact same place even if i turn all the effects off and run it on the lowest settings.

[organic-meatbag]

went to return the game today (there was a guy at the shop who was returning it as well for the exact same reason he said he had the problem in the exact same place) got Dawn of War anthology insted

[gamerman0203]

problem solved...in a round-about way. How did you get it returned for something else? Law states for copyright purposes that an opened game can only be returned for the exact same title. Eh, oh well...not my store that's going to get shut down...

unless you don't live in the USA...
