isuckatfm Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 I install this one, and it change from Radeon 9200 to Radeon 9250, but i dont know what to install next so that i can play demo.http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/xp/radeon-prer300-xp.html Click on Catalyst Software Suite on that page to start the download then follow the installation instructions also linked on that page. Before you do though bare in mind you are below the minimum specs for video card so it probably won't make a difference PC System RequirementsOS - Windows Vista or XP Processor Speed - Vista - 2.0GHz, XP - 1.4GHz Memory - Vista - 1GB, XP - 512MB Videocard - 128MB Nvidia FX 5900 Ultra, ATI Radeon 9800, Intel 82915G/82910GL or greater.

isuckatfm Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 ^ I realise that mate, but the reason I pointed at that one is if you click on 'Previous Drivers and Software' you'll see 6 different releases. DxDiag reports a driver version like this 6.14.0010.6614 in yours but the pages I linked to it calls it 8.31, so I had no way of knowing which of those updates you downloaded or if you downloaded an older one as the dxdiag date shows 5/3/2006. Just a case of crossed wires rather than me not reading your post . If you downloaded the one I linked to that is the most recent release. Beyond that there is nothing else to be done as far as I know. The more technically minded might know ways to tweak and overcome shortfalls but I don't. But as I posted you are below the minimum Graphics Card model for ATI Cards anyway. Unfortunately you are in the boat with everyone else who only plays one game on their laptop/desktop and won't be shelling out on a new one for the sake of playing FM. I still have the 2D working but I won't be buying a new machine just so I can play FM with 3D when my current laptop does everything else I need it for as is.

Serpico Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 17 inch, how does that make a difference?:confused: it's just that although it runs smoothly for me when I have the game at 1600x900 when I up the resolution to 1920x1200 it gets a little jerky.

TorresF Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 My FM's demo don't run! I've Nvidia GeForce MX 440, 64 MB. It isn't compatible with new FM? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnalogBoy Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 My FM's demo don't run! I've Nvidia GeForce MX 440, 64 MB. It isn't compatible with new FM? Correct. You need 128MB graphics card, like the game says in the system requirements. Sorry pal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supergtaz Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 There is a fair amount of FM players who probably dont play many/any other games, my PC will not handle 3D (despite playing a fair amount of higher end 3D games with my 64MB) yet I cannot play with just 2D.. I think alot of people who play FM will be in the same boat as me and unless this is just a bug, SI have alienated possibly a fair amount of fans Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serpico Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 So, why when i click the Fm Icon the game don't run but show me a error mex? What i can do? I suspect this isn't what's supposed to happen. SI have always said that if you could run FM08 you could run FM09 in 2D at least. No doubt they'll get their thinking caps on and try and work out what the problem is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
