Default Supported Graphics Cards

Hi, I was just wondering if you could please tell me if laptop graphics cards will be supported in the future? Through a patch maybe?

I realise there was a list of supported cards, but I ignorantly assumed that my card would be fine as my other specs were OK to play CLoD.

I am using a Toshiba F60 Laptop running a Nvidia GT330M card with a 24" monitor attached. When the game starts I get the following error : "nvidia windows kernel mode driver 266.64 stopped responding"

What I get is the menu without being able to see pilots or aircraft, and when I go to fly, I get nothing but desktop and sound.

I have also tried updating the drivers.

EDIT: I updated Nvidia drivers to 267.76

================================================== ========
System Specs:


Win 7 32bit
Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU M 620 @ 2.67GHz
Memory (RAM) 4.00 GB
NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M
2296 MB Total available graphics memory

I tried this and there is no difference for me, but I am running it on a laptop. Maybe I need to hassle Nvidia for a new GT330M driver for Notebooks?

Success!

IF you bought the game off Steam as I did, you will need to:

1) Browse to your game folder and find the folder 'redist'.

I found mine here :C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\redist

2) Try running the Direct X installer. ( This was the problem for me, but I had tried running other installers in there too).

So, It works....not perfect, but I am prepared to wait.

I don't think it's all that realistic to think you can get this game running decently on a laptop except for maybe the extreme gaming laptops that some companies make.

Good luck to you though!

Why not?


I plug a 24" monitor in the side and it runs sweet on IL2.

I am begining to realise that there are a metric shitload of naysayers in this forum and that maybe I should steer clear.

Anyway,are these specs THAT bad?

Win 7 32bit
i7 CPU M 620 @ 2.67GHz
4.00 GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M 1GB
2296 MB Total available graphics memory
