Can't get any video!

[Chuck38]

I downloaded a demo for a game a couple days ago and all I get is audio, my video drivers are up to date. The developers said they were using a program called Unity 3D. I will list my specs below.

HP ENVY X2 running Windows 8
Processor: Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU Z2760 @ 1.80Ghz 1.80 GHz
Memory: 2.00GB
System Type: 32-bit Operating System, x86 based processor

Graphics Card: Intel(R) Graphics Media Accelerator

P.S I have also been to the Gaming part of this forum, but they didn't really know what was wrong.

The GMA is really low end graphics and may simply not support what you are trying to run. Surprised it doesn't simply crash completely.

There are actually 8 drivers for GMA? I'm surprised by that also.

I did find this: How to install intel display drivers in Windows 8 - Drivers - Windows 8

Is there a way to set the game up so it will work with GMA?

 

[dukethedj]

what game? And If you cant get in the game, I don't think you will be able to change the settings. Text file? (To change settings)

 

[dukethedj]

I also see that you are using a 2 in 1. That might also be a problem. What mode are you using it in?

 

[Chuck38]

The game is called Modern Law: Modern Law Windows, Mac, Linux game - Indie DB
I'm using it in laptop mode, actually I almost always use it in laptop mode!

I would say that the graphics are just too weak to display the video.

Personally, I would not install 8 on that machine. Would go with 7 or even XP. No old system discs?

Never mind, see now it is a touchscreen. Pretty under-powered on the graphics side though.

Okay, that's what I was afraid of. Thank you anyway.

Sorry to say, it was one of those machines that was kind of cutting edge when it was produced, now it is really behind the times. These same types of hybrid touch pads are now using AMD APUs and NVidia mobile GPUs.

I know! Technology moves so fast and sadly I don't have the money to move with it.

One more question, could the GMA be the reason everything is so green in Asphalt 8?

Wait a minute, I've played GTA San Andreas on this computer! With GMA! The resolution was quite low, but I was still able to play with little to no crashes!

I was trying to help is all, yelling and insults is not cool, best wishes getting it fixed.

 

[Chuck38]

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to insult you, I just didn't know if anyone noticed that I said that I have played GTA San Andreas on this computer and that GTA SA requires better graphics than the game I want to play.

 

[popeye]

We're good. Did you ever try what I linked to in post #2 just to see if it made any difference? Curious myself.

 

[Chuck38]

I must confess that I did not. I'll do that right now.

 

[Chuck38]

Apparently I don't meet the minimum requirements?
