running problems

[polar_bear]

my gf recently installed the game on her laptop and after clicking play on the splash screen, absolutly nothing happens, it works fine on my pc, but wont work at all on hers, her specs r core 2 duo cpu, 512mb ram and 128mb mobile intel 945GM express chipset, and she has dx9.0c i kinda have a feeling its the laptop gpu thats causing it but does anyone have a solution if its possible?

does she have windows vista?
windows vista has this problem
:p

no she has XP media centre

I don't know if Windows XP Media Center can run Worms 4 : Mayhem.

Also Worms 4 : Mayhem doesn't run good at laptops. They are unsupported, as the GPU. To run it without problems, you must have desktop PC and a supported GPU.

ok thanks dude thats kinda what i thought, i was just hoping with it being a newer gpu it might be supported

Also be sure that your running it on a desktop computer.

You can find supported GPU's in the back of Worms 4 : Mayhem's case.

yea it works fine on my desktop, i just thought with it having a newer gpu it might be supported, cos my gpu to my desktop isnt listed on the back of the box. But it works perfectly and my desktop has media centre, its just basically pro, in a lot of ways with the media centre thing on it but yea i know why now so thanks guys :)

Your GPU is from ATi or nVidia? Or from other manufacter?

Some times, even newer GPU's from ATi and nVidia (newer than the supported cards) may work. If you don't have a supported card or newer, you will not get all the graphics the game can do.

MY gpu is a geforce 7800GS but i was just hoping that with the laptop gpu being newer the unsupported issue with intel chips wouldnt matter but obviously it does still, meh i told he she shoulda got a desktop if she wanted to play games... but women never listen :p

[McMaster]

If she doesn't listen and she'll never buy a desktop, so there's a small answer: she must stop playing games!

But why she doesn't buy a desktop? Some desktops are very cheap, and they can handle Worms 4 : Mayhem. Even with my old machine, which is 5 years old with an ATi Radeon 9000 PRO AGP with 64MB DDR Video RAM, can handle the game greatly. So even the nVidia GeForce 7300 GT or an ATi Radeon X1300 can handle the game.
