Seasons Error Message
eevilcat:
It looks like the very latest onboard Intel graphic cards do support hardware T&L though they haven't released a driver as yet so are relying on it being done by the CPU.
amber:
yea, this laptop isnt even paid off so theres no way ill be trading in. I should have plenty of room bcuz this laptop crashed and the only things I reinstalled was Windows, Microsoft Office,Aim, Sims 2 University and Pets. It's weird that it cant run Seasons and like I said its like a Microsoft error message coming up. I dunno. I'm gonna try deleting some stuff to get it up and running. Let me know if any1 else has any ideas

If it doesn't meet the system requirements, it's not weird at all.

How latest? Mine's a year old thinkpad. I've got a "Mobile Intel(R) 945GM Express Chipset Family". I have a little issue with snow once in a while, and shaders do slow things down, but I can turn them on and see fish, and I can run seasons without crashing (usually. Other things break it, naturally). I've got a dual-core Intel CPU (2xT2400 @ 1.83ghz) and a gig of ram...

@kuronue Yours don't support hardware T&L, they rely on doing it software (using the CPU). It just means that it's slower and puts a bigger hit on the processor. Given a fast enough processor that doesn't matter. It also looks like you've got the same onboard graphics as amber which suggests amber's problem might be something other than the graphics card.
The other thing I forgot to ask is... amber have you patched your game? There is a maxoid thread on the BBS which is worth a look at if you have problems installing the latest Seasons patch.
