I recently installed PS 0.5 on four very different laptops with some success. Basically I had these systems (all with Windows XP or Vista):
- An AMD64 Laptop with an ATI X700 Radeon Mobility (1gig memory)
- An Intel Centrino laptop with an nVidia Quadro NVS 160M (4 gigs memory)
- An Intel laptop with an Intel GMA 940 (2 gigs memory)
- An Intel laptop with an older nVidia card that I don't remember (512 megs memory)
On all those systems I had lots of in-game stability issues and graphical glitches. For the ATI laptop I fixed those by installing the drivers from
http://www.omegadrivers.net/ . These drivers are high quality and work really well.
For the nVidia laptops I used the drivers from
http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/ . Again using these drivers solved a lot of the issues and made PS run really well.
For the Intel GMA card I didn't yet find a good set of drivers so PS is still not running on that laptop.
On the laptop with only 512 Megs memory PS is very laggy.
So basically: get the latest drivers even if you can't use the official ones (due to laptop vendor specific drivers that are required).
Greetings,
