hi ok im sorry for posting about a pirated game..anyways i borrowed my friends ORIGINAL KANES wrath and it still has the same problem...if your wondering what problem pls look at my earlier post thank u=D

Have you checked the minimum specs for the games?
In your other thread you said you were using an Intel 965 chipset.

Integrated graphics are designed for one thing - displaying the OS of choice while consuming as little power as possible. They usually aren't even supported by games, and when they are they aren't powerful enough to actually run them.

The problem with laptops is that they are virtually impossible to upgrade, so you're kind of stuck here.

Judging by what Tiber said, you are very very limited in upgrading unless you buy a new laptop or get a desktop.

**emosun** · 04-22-2009, 12:41 AM

Even an old 3 or 4 year old desktop would be easier and cheaper to run the game on then a laptop.

yeah but u guys are missing the point how can i run red alert 3 which have the exact same requirments needed...yet tiberium wont work?

Have you updated to the latest driver for your 965 chipset?
Intel themselves say that the game is compatible, but you will need to have every setting at it's lowest and be running the latest drivers.

haha=D as if i havent tried doing that...set everything to lowest possible setting and i cant update driver..cuzz it keeps on saying this is the latest driver....is there a program or something that can boost my graphics performance?

Tiber Septim · 04-26-2009, 04:39 AM

I wish. Then I'd never have to upgrade.

Just re-reading the link I posted above, it actually states it's only compatible with XP.

I've noticed developers have started including Intel chipsets in their 'supported' lists with more recent games - which would explain why RA3 would work.
I know a lot of older games have problems with them because they only emulate features that dedicated cards have.

Just curious, what kind of performance are you getting in RA3, and at what settings?

**5NIPER_WOLF** · 04-26-2009, 11:57 AM

There IS a way to dupe your system into thinking your integrated graphics is better than it really is, but unfortunately I don't have my source handy but I will try to get it asap for you.
