Sorry for making a new thread for it but I have a problem with my screen resolution. I did a new install to test out NC contents (after not playing for a long while), but when I start the game, at character creation, I get these red/yellow/blue lines streaming across my screen from the top left corner. I've tried to set the same resolution of the game to my laptop, and vice versa, but to no avail. I've also tried setting the game using TFE to the 800x600 and 1024x768, still the same. My laptop's resolution is 1280x800. I'm pretty sure I've seen this problem before but I can't seem to find any help using the search. Appreciate it if someone can point me the right direction. Cheers.
Thanks for the pointer but I'm not using nVidia. My laptop uses Intel HD Graphics and it doesn't have any other video card.
Are you using a net book with Win8 and is the driver up to date? I would check the benchmark of the graphics processor if I were you and see if it can run TOEE. If you google Intel HD graphics benchmark you should find a tool.
It's a HP laptop with 4Gb RAM running Win7. It's using the standard Intel HD graphics which IIANM is software-based. Could be a problem for laptops without graphic cards?
If I remember right, the on board graphics processors for intel aren't very game friendly. You could try and see if intel has a support section for their processors. EDIT: After doing a little bit of research it seems that an intel HD graphics processor can run medium to high graphics with the latest driver. I recommend going to their site and updating your driver. Here's a link to the driver section. Intel Download Center
I am experiencing the same thing. After a clean install on a new Dell laptop with onboard Intel video I get lines in Character Creation that obsure the screen. The lines originate from the upper left corner of the screen and extend to the corners of selectable objects in the window. Any help would be appreciated.
Welcome to the forum roonechr. Have you checked to see if your drivers are up to date and by this I mean going to the site and comparing. Win7 is good for telling you no update needed when a newer version is available, I run Win7 myself and most of my system's drivers where out of date when "anytime update" said they were current.
Sirchet, I have learned one thing: do NOT believe Windows when it tells you your driver is up to date. Intel had moved several generations beyond my installed driver, but Windows continued to insist it was current. For everyone: use the Intel update check software available on the site sirchet linked, not Windows. The good news is I can now Alt-Tab in and out of TOEE again, but the lines from the upper left hand corner are still there. EDIT: And of course sirchet himself ninja's me... :roll:
