Crash to desktop; no pattern, no error.

Post » Mon Sep 17, 2012 5:44 pm

Installed the game two days ago, haven't managed to get anywhere in the game due to this problem. It might crash at the main menu, at the character creator screen, or a couple minutes into gameplay. Can't even get past the intro without it crashing. Any ideas/fixes?

Specs;

Windows 7 64-Bit
Mobility Radeon HD 6370
4 GB RAM
650 GB HDD
2.53 GHz Intel Core i5

Only mod I have installed is Alternate Start & a U.I. mod. Disabled both, tried to run it, no help. Uninstall/reinstall, no help. Completely deleted mods, no help. Idk what to do...help, please? Haha.

Your graphics chip is on the low end of the performance scale, as the 6370 is only really an "entry" level card. On top of that as you have a laptop its likely that your graphics drivers are outdated and causing the issue. I sugest you first check your laptop makers website and see if they have updated graphics drivers for your specific laptop model.

If that is a bust, try this;

If this tool says your graphics card is compatible with AMD released drivers then use this;

This will automatically search for and download the most recent and compatible driver for you graphics card.

I updated my drivers, still no luck. Though the first time I booted it up after I installed the new drivers, it ran for five minutes longer than usual before crashing. Subsequent bootups produced results that are comparable to pre-driver update. Any other suggestions? By the way, on 'Low', the game runs fine.
