Title: Help
Post by: Major "Rastannen" Payne on November 03, 2012, 10:51:58 am
Hi!

Nice to see this game is progressing :) Im having trouble with survival right now.
It seems when i run on lowest settings i cant see anything but some obstacles and sky, so i cant get away from starting point.

This is the laptop i use and it works perfect for games like EU and xcom: http://www.lenovo.com/products/us/tech-specs/laptop/thinkpad/edge-series/e520/

that is probably a driver problem. IT runs fine on mine although mine is a 3 year old one. Try to focus in alpha first. what you do in survival wont count

Please try out a other Setting, then the Lowest.

There seems to be a bug with the lowest graphics setting - many of us see the same thing when we use it. Click the Auto Detect Settings button to let the game choose what's best based on your hardware. If you want to play with lower settings than what your computer is capable of, just try bumping it up one at a time until you see more than what's pictured.

You've no graphical card for run it .
Intel HD 3000 is not enougth sry for you.
Aws seems need biggest configuration than EU even if it's in law graphical mode.

AW Survival might need a bit better graphics card, but nothing too fancy, usually it's a driver compatibility problem instead - not all hardware is supported (yet)
AW Alpha should run fine on anything.

You screenshot of your view of Survival looks familiar ... which probably means I have had the same issue before. Though I cannot remember the resolution.


Your hardware is likely to be fine for Survival and I doubt if you are having driver issues (driver issues usually mean you cannot get into Survival).


No doubt you have tried relogging - so here are other options (one of these might work):
a. Change screen resolution (ctrl-O)
b. Change setting to lowest (ctrl-O)
c. Delete the Survival Cache (in My Documents I think)

Thanks for your help. I changed the resolution to medium and it works,  a little laggy but it works :)
