hello again folks. I tried installing Street Fighter IV on my laptop laptop last night and the install went fine, however when I started the game up I had a pretty serious graphical error.
after the opening logos showed without any screen fades (already odd), the title screen displayed as a pure white screen. the error had to be purely graphical because I could still input with my gamepad, and Games for Windows Live still signed me in; everything functioned as it should, I just couldn't see anything. I got past the title screen and into the main menu, and of course I couldn't see any of the menus at all, all that showed up was the wallpaper behind all of it.
the best I can do right now is give my specs for the game and for my laptop, beyond that I am at a complete loss for what to do. I've seen a similar problem with notebooks before on certain games but I still have no idea what it is.
reply at your leisure and thanks in advance for the hand. in the meantime I'm going to install Devil May Cry 4 and see if I get any problems with that as well.
most laptops can't play most newer games because of the onboard videocard & yours is one of them. you can't upgrade them either as part of motherboard.
thanks gentlemen. I thought this might have been the problem and was hoping it wasn't that simple, but I found out as much upon trying to install Devil May Cry IV. it went fine but when I ran the game it said my pixel shader was insufficient.
thanks for having a look anyway though and sorry for the waste of time.
