[Can Lock On run on the new Intel GMA X3000 Integrated graphics?]

I am considering buying a laptop with the latest version of the very basic Intel GMA graphics, they now offer more support for graphics and maybe Lock On could run on it. Has anybody tried Lock0j on a laptop with this graphics processor?

 

Thanks!

DirectX is installed and functional, version is 9.0c. The point is even if it is, there might be functions required by Lomac that this Intel chipset doesn't support, I just ran DXdiag to find out what was there, and one piece of function is not present, it is AGP texture acceleration. So that might be it. I don't know. Here's output from DXdiag giving some information about the chipset capabilities. The laptop is brand new, so no overheating problems there. And unfortunately there is no way to change graphics cards here, I have to change the whole laptop for another one, a very expensive proposition. The video chipset has 128MB of memory available, there is no way to add more.

 

Now, this is a bug forum, I am surprised all responses are from other users, no apparent developers involvement? Just coasting does not bring money into the house, there needs to be some action on the frontlines to keep this campaign moving forward. :mad:

As far as I know Lock On doesn't need Open GL but DirectX 8.0 support. Not sure if your chip supports it.

There is no way to overclock the graphics chipset on this laptop, maybe there is on some high end laptops. This happens without any task switching involved, as soon as you start the simulation the problem is there.

 

Thanks for your comments!

 

I get this only if I go to desktop with Ctrl+Esc. Could be a VGA problem... Hardware or software... Did you overclocked your card? Any other game in which you get this?

I tried, no luck. Repeated the task switching several times. I did it both on fullscreen and windowed mode.

 

Try running in full screen mode instead of in a window.

 

The other thing you can try - at least it works for me whenever this happens - is to task switch out of LOMAC and onto the desktop, then back to LOMAC. You may have to repeat this task switching process several times to get rid of the corrupted graphics.

 

Hope this helps.

I have a Toshiba A105-S4074 with this chipset (which is fairly common), giving an average quality graphics support. Supposedly Open GL is supported. But I have not had good luck getting it to work with Lomac 1.12. I started with Lomac 1.0, horrible results, then upgraded to FC, which resulted in an improvement, and then added the patch to 1.12 (no change there).

 

I don't care if it is a bit slow, I just want to be able to play while on the road.

 

Here are some captures from the Mig-29 Airshow replay. Any comments? Is there anything I can do? Change some settings using the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator for Mobile Driver is possible, although there are not many options available unfortunately.
