Supported Graphics Cards

[Deadstick]

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

This is exactly the same thing i'm getting, hope they are able to release something in order to get it to work.

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?

might be worth a shot, but i think, this game should have had support for laptops

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.

Hi, I am getting the same problem (most of the time) with a Radeon 5870 and the 11.3 Catalyst drivers on win 7 64 bit. The game works but there will no 3d models for the plane/pilot options, and in-game shows the desktop.

For me, it looks like the display driver crashes during the Ubisoft intro video. I do get lucky occasionally and the game actually works 1 time in 3 startups, but then of course the fps is quite poor...

Oh, I didn't mean it to sound like that. My personal experience with laptops is that they can't compete with desktops with similar specs and if top end desktop machines are struggling with this, I figure there's little hope for a laptop. Maybe mobile graphics solutions have progressed a great deal and there's less of a divide than in the past. As for IL-2, I should hope it would run since the game is pretty old now.

@bw_wolverine: Yeah good points there, I did not mean to sound like I was jumping down your throat.

IL2 runs fine on maximum settings for me. I guess I assumed, that since the laptop was under a year old it would be able to handle this.

@Doc_UK : I got them to work by browsing to the folder 'redist' in my game folder, and pretty much running each installer in there. If it said 'repair' or 'uninstall' I just repaired it. But I found that for me, Direct X had not auto-installed in the first place. After I ran that and restarted my PC, it all appeared for me.

I have try'd just about everything now, To tired to do anything else, so for now im Putting the Game to sleep, Untill a fix is found
