I have downloaded one patch but it did not help. Which patch are you referring to? and where can I find it?

Thanks for the help!

*Intel Extreme Graphics and SIS chipsets not supported

note the last line says that your graphics chipset is not supported. while it may "run" it wont perform as it is supposed to. I would firstly update the drivers as mentioned, and as far as the patch goes - I dont know where that comes from as it isnt on their website. you may need to PM the OP and see what they are getting on about.

Well, I went to the website and installed new graphic and chipset drivers but the game still crashes at the same spot. I have no idea what to do about it. It's just weird that the game was playing absolutely fine until now...well, more frustrating than weird. Gah!

try sound drivers as well. sometimes a sound driver issue can cause game crashes.

rebel47 · 20-01-09, 03:42

I downloaded the audio driver as well and it still crashes. I've read that some people had problems with the game because they had Vista on the computers. I'm not sure if that's my problem or not...I've never had any problems with anything on my computer before...

Again, thanks for the help.

spikejones · 20-01-09, 03:47

yeah, right now Im tossing the blame between Vista and Intel Graphics. Hard to say which is more to blame than the other without a control set. IE.. does the game run fine on Vista with Nvidia? Does the game run fine on XP with Intel Graphics? Is it a combination of the two?

hard to tell being i've not seen reports of success/failure under those other conditions.

rebel47 · 20-01-09, 04:03

Yeah, I've no idea what to do about it. I guess I'll just call the company up in the morning...who knows...hopefully they can help with something.

Thanks for everything!

Personally I'd stick to blame Intel GMA for the mess
