Look at one fix of the update(2nd link):

Quote:- Provides Intel Graphics Driver version 8.15.10.2219 (in addition to the AMD Graphics Driver) to support the Intel GPU in notebooks with switchable graphics.

It might be what you need.

The first one gave me an error: "This computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software."

The second worked? Does the game works now?

I made a mistake, the fix is in the 2nd link so no problem. Install the 2nd one and tell me if it is fixed.

The second is still downloading. I'll let you know if it works ASAP. Smile

Yes, this is a graphic driver issue. The game only detects the embedded Intel one. But why the update did not install(1st link)? I still don't get that. Ok, I need you to change the current power state to High Performance or something like that and also from Control Panel > System & Security > Power Options try to change everything to High Performance and things like that. It might help.

Now that I think of it. I think I have another pc at home with AMD dedicated gpu and embedded Intel. Maybe I can try amnesia there and if I run into the same problem maybe find a solution. You see, in order to find the solution I must be there and test many things. This is not so possible through forums though, that's why tomorrow I'm going to try Amnesia in the other pc.

Already tried running Amnesia under High Performance, sadly it didn't help it recognize the card. Sad

Thanks for not giving up on my case. Hopefully when you access that other PC you'll run into the same problem and be able find a solution.

bumping this

**plutomaniac** · 06-22-2011, 11:09 PM

oh yes. It seems that the other pc has only AMD gpu and not another Intel embedded one. So I couldn't test anything there. The game works just fine there too.

You have Windows 7 x64, right? Try doing these:

1) Download Driver Sweeper
2) Uninstall the AMD drivers.
3) Run Driver Sweeper. Select all ATI, AMD, NVIDIA traces and if it founds something delete them all.
4) Reboot your system and then download this:

or this(in case the above doesn't work try the above but do steps 1-4 again please):

After installation reboot your system again. Make sure that in device manager your AMD card appears and try launching the launcher again.
