Engine crashes on intel Pentium M chip

Post by kazimoto »

Hello, the engine crashes when I try to run any of the examples that comes with the sdk.

I tried running on a laptop, Twinhead Durabook R15D with Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900 display card. The strange thing was the engine runs perfectly on my old Pentium 3 with Geforce MX display card. Are they (Intel's Mobile Graphic Accelerator) not supported yet or was there something I miss?

The problem could be anywhere, but I doubt that processor of gfx chip are the problem. Maybe gfx driver or installation (missing/corrupt media). What system are you using, and did you compile the examples on your own?

I downloaded the latest driver from Intel, and compiled the example using dev-c++ 4.9.9.2 on both my laptop and my older desktop pc with no errors. But everytime I run the exe it always caused my laptop to hang and I had to do a hard reset. It runs fine on my older desktop though. I'm really out of ideas :(


Here is my laptop specs:
Pentium M
Processor speed 1.6 GHz
Motherboard chipset Intel 915GM Express
Amt of RAM 1024 MB
RAM type DDR SDRAM
Hard drive 60 GB
Optical drive DVD±RW drive
Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900
Amt of video RAM up to 224MB shared
Diagonal screen size 15 inch
LCD technology SXGA+ TFT
Natural resolution (max) 1,400 x 1,050
WinXP pro service pack 2

My notebook has about the same specs as yours, except for the gfx (having some ATI chip here). I did not check the windows version very well, but I could run the demo with no problems. Which deveice are you using (OpenGL, DirectX, Software)?

Aye same here. I also have a Pentium M with an ATI card.

The engine runs fine on mine. Are there any error messages that you get?

Hmm, I think thats the problem right there; I'm using the standard graphic card that comes with intel processor. Lord knows how many games couldn't run on it, heh. I got hold of my friends laptop that has an ATI card and the program works, guess I'll just work on another pc. Thanks all.
