BOR intel 4000 graphic bug

Wed Jan 30, 2013 11:57 pm

Although the game works perfectly on my desktop. On my laptop with integrated Intel 4000 graphic card, everything is fine except the force icons are invisible so the game is unplayable. I am playing on a windows 8 64bit pro operating system fullscreen 1920x1080. I am using the latest Samsung driver for the Intel graphics.

Sorry for this trouble, can you still produce the dxdiag of your laptop so we can see more in details?

Since I am a software developer myself I would be interested why this resolved the problem :-)

oh, micro-SD? That's not the first time people using such devices have troubles. My guess would be that the transfer rate is not high enough, and so some graphics get skipped by whatever-I-don't-know and don't display. Not sure it is the engine itself that skip them though, I believe it is 'fooled' that they are loaded by Windows here.

Gamers don't use these cards, as often they don't have the good components (missing or bad shaders etc).
For a laptop you have to take a decent Nvidia or AMD card.

Indeed. My laptop is in no way a serious gaming machine, unlike my beast of desktop PC. Its just nice to be able to play strategy games on the move when I can.
