Hi Cameron,

What are your specs please? OS, Video Card, sound, CPU RAM etc.

Saffire123 · 04-12-2010, 03:47 PM

04-12-2010, 04:53 PM

Soxmis-Uk was wondering the following:

Your videocard-
Ram-
Processor-
Operating system - Which you said is Windows 7, is that 32 bit or 64 bit out of curiosity?

This guy here, had the same problem as you. I would try reinstalling Direct X and see if that fixes the problem. Overall though, I didnt know much else to do.

And also how can i uninstall directX 11 Then reinstall it??

Saffire123 · 04-12-2010, 06:52 PM

Not 100% sure, but I think its because you have a Integrated Video card. Dont worry bout reinstalling Direct x 11, its your chipset. I dont have enough experience to really point you in the right direction, but I believe I found your problem.

How does that card handle other games? Ones that don't run DX9? If you get a direct x error from a non DX9 game, then I can assume your integrated video card cant support Dx10/11. Dont quote me though.

04-12-2010, 06:54 PM

Well i bought this pc in december and it came with directX 11 already installed

Soxmis-UK · 04-12-2010, 07:54 PM

I think that saff is saying it's your Chipset that looks like it cannot handle/process the game. You may need a PC and a suitably powerful enough graphics card to run it, a few people with these Mobil Intel chipsets are having problems and those that can get the game to run with them have ridiculously low framerates like 4 FPS which makes it effectively impossible to play.

Sorry to bring bad news but I dont think your chipset, or your CPU size/speed meets the minimum specs.

You can confirm this here.

ChronoBodi · 04-12-2010, 09:41 PM

well... it's a crappy intel chipset, you need to get a laptop with a ATI or Nvidia GPU.

only alienware laptops will play this, ie 1300£ worth of machine

no games are made for mobile gpu's and if they work you can say ur lucky, ALWAYS check game requirements cuz im pretty sure jc2 dont have mobile gpu support

as for intel mobile gpu's LOL they struggle on HD movies and windows aero looks crap with em too

its not PC its a laptop, two very different things entirely

If im not mistaken those integrated Intel videocards use shared memory instead of there own. Just cause 2 needs a videocard with at least 256MB ram.

I guess the OP could also check the Can you run it? website and see what it says.
