Doesn't work on my laptop
« on: March 30, 2004, 10:30:21 pm »
Sigh... it loads and says \"No hardware acceleration!\" and when I connect it sits at the loading part forever and eventually the game just quits by itself.

Laptop is HP Pavilion n5195, newest drivers for everything.
From what I can tell the specs are something like:
-Some type of Pentium III processor.
-S3 Savage/IC 4MB graphics accelerator.
-ESS Allegro sound/modem.
-Accton 10/100 ethernet port.
-20GB hard drive.
-128MB of RAM.
-Floppy + DVD-Rom
-Windows 2000 Professional

Any ideas? Or is the computer just too crappy :(

I don\'t believe it will work due to the graphics chip. To little RAM also.

yea it doesn\'t work on mine either it is becoming quite annoying to have to turn on the computer in the study room to play when I could just do it in the comfort of my own bed. It loads and all but by the time the screen gets to \"Initializing World....\" then nothing happens and I\'ve sat for 1/2 an hour at a time waiting to see if anything will happen.

Yeah, way too little RAM and the graphics card isn\'t exactly great (4mb?... eek!).

I\'d say the spec is just too poor, I\'m afraid. :( Not much else you can do about it.

Try 1/2 a day. It isn\'t going to work on most laptops unless they are \"gaming\" laptops, but those suck for games as well. You could try software mode though.
