Magicka wont start. PLEASE HELP!

chao50 · 06-07-2012, 07:27 PM

Ok my magicka just says prepare to launch, then that window closes and NOTHING happens. Not even a glimpse of a black screen or magicka window. I've tried a few things like re installations of Dnx and DirectX and stuff like that, and I've verified game cache so I think my computer should run fine with it. Thanks for any help!

Im no programmer but to me it looks like it has something to do with my Microsoft.Xna which I have redownloaded any help people?

chao50 · 06-08-2012, 01:29 PM

Hey, I read through that whole thing and i couldnt find anything that applies to me. Also, my whole dxdiag is too long to post. Thanks for any help!

Card name: Intel(R) G33/G31 Express Chipset Family
Manufacturer: Intel Corporation
Chip type: Intel(R) GMA 3100
DAC type: Internal

My Specs.

chao50 · 06-08-2012, 07:56 PM

Please help, someone. At least tell me if I can run it or not. Idk if my graphics card is integrated or not.

franky200 · 06-08-2012, 08:30 PM

No, it wont work because your graphics card is intergrated. Make sure next time.

chao50 · 06-09-2012, 12:05 PM

Actually Franky I played this on my old laptop with an integrated laptop so it IS possible, I just need the solution. Unfortunately, the solution that worked on my laptop does not work on this Computer. So can someone please help me?

PS_ · 06-10-2012, 02:19 PM

Sure it's possible, if the GMA graphics support the requested features.
But the G33 chipset doesn't support shader 3, so NO.
Intel® G31, G33, Q33, and Q35 Express Chipsets 2.01 2.0

chao50 · 06-10-2012, 05:49 PM

Is there any way to get around that? D: I really want to play this but I guess Im fine since it was only $5

PS_ · 06-11-2012, 02:31 PM

Only way around is using adequate hardware. Here meaning sufficient nVidia or ATI graphics. Most Intel solutions that do work will give you the "Some parts All grey/All blue" anyway.

Like this.

You could use 3d analyze to emulate Pixel Shaders, although you'll probably get loads of graphic errors such as elements not rendering properly and the game looking like crap. That's the only solution with your current hardware as far as I know.
