Anno 1404 graphical issues

overburn · 09-25-2009, 09:35 AM

Hello,

I have an Acer Aspire 5935G notebook:
Intel Core2Duo T6400 @ 2.0 Ghz
4 GB DDR3 RAM
Nvidia Geforce GT 130M & Intel GMA 4500MHD

When I run Anno 1404 with the Geforce card active , it runs fine at near max details , but I have this issue (at any level of detail):

When I run it with the Intel card active, it runs like hell at low , but everything looks ok. I don't have the problem I had with the geforce card.
However, I want to play it on the geforce for obvious reasons. Anyone know what's going on?

I tried changing the video drivers for the geforce card, but on the official Acer website , there is only one version of drivers for Windows 7 x64. And when i try with the drivers on the nvidia website, they say that I don't have the correct hardware (it also says on the nvidia website that the drivers don't support hybrid power, so i guess that would be the problem.)
Anyone have any idea what might be going on?

P.s.
Could it have anything to do with the fact that I installed it while I was on the Intel card and it might have configured itself automatically?

Hello overburn,
this is the latest drivers for your video card, it's for Windows 7 64 bit

i can't install them.
the installer says:
nvidia setup installer cannot detect any drivers that are compatible with your hardware.
:(

it's definitely a driver issue, as the gma displays everything correctly opposed to the geforce. but i have no idea how to install the reference nvidia drivers. on the acer website i have only one driver version for x64 and that's the one i have installed right now.

i suppose that me being unable to install the official nvidia drivers might have something to do with the fact that the gma might be active when i try to install them. but i have no idea how to turn it off without physically assaulting it with a hammer. and that would be kinda counterproductive.

Sorry but never played Anno series before

here it is.
the textures are all where they're supposed to be. unfortunately the framerate makes my eyes wanna jump out and run.
