Hey guys, i've had moderate success getting EU to work on Intel Chipsets, but I have come across a computer that I am unable to get this one to work, is there any hope for this beast?

I've tried 3DA and i get the same error as if I were running EU without it.

i'm running Vista 64 bit making things even harder. Anyways here's the error I get.


If anyone has any advice on what to try let me know i'd appreciate it.

Should work without to much hassle

its better than my lappy who runs eu on mid\low :p
 
apparently i havent been around in a while, how do I post images here?

Also, in the past ive been able to run EU using lesser computers, using 3DA and such, ive just run into problems on this one.
 
A computer with that configuration will never run EU due to the intel graphics chips. Get a proper AMD of nVidia graphics card, and then it is fine
 
3DA doesn't offset the intel chips anymore?

Someone else asking the same question:

Basically I agree with Mcninjaguy #12 in that you'd need a new case, new power supply unit and then new graphics card fitted.

Quite a daunting experience if youve never done it before, fairly routine after you've done a few - depends if you have a "techy" friend or local shop which could do it for you.

You might be best advised to get a new PC though.
 
Thanks everyone.

I've built a few pc's from scratch before so adding/changing parts isnt too much of an issue for me. The issue comes from if i'm going to invest in getting a new card, psu, case and fans, I mines as well just build a whole new pc. And then of course the issue there is, do I really want to put $1,100 or so into building a nice solid computer, for the sake of EU? I suppose for now i'll just have to wait and see(I believe I read an interview where they were trying to lower system requirements a bit?), play some more poker and make some money, and go from there.
