Title: Game crashing when loading
Post by: taijix on February 07, 2010, 19:10
When I start a new game I'll get a black loading screen but it just stays black and freezes. I'm borrowing a friends laptop at the moment because my desktop is out of action, it's a Dell with on-board Intel 965 Express graphics, so being a Dell I can't get the latest drivers for it, just the last ones that Dell 'certified' for the laptop model. Is there any known work-around this? Or any other solutions I might have overlooked? As far as I'm aware the graphics card is compatible with OpenGL.

Thanks in advance for any help.

You can still install the latest drivers from Intel.

I did try that but during installation I got a prompt saying that the drivers couldn't be installed because they're not validated by the manufacturer. The ones on the Dell website are outdated as well.
