Is it a hardware issue?

Recommended Posts

So I heard that EM4 sometimes gives certain hardware a hard time to run it. I am in that category after buying both the Amazon and Steam version of the game. The Amazon version of the game is very slow to start up, and has a lot of graphic issues. The steam version of the game after trying to load up the Mayberry Mod just crashes.

I was just wondering if maybe it is my hardware I have on my gaming laptop?

 

Here is the specs:

NVIDIA GeForce,

Intel Core i7

64 bit operating system

Windows 7 Home Premium

12 GB of RAM..

If you need more information let me know. I am not necessarily the most tech savvy guy.

According to your DX diag you do not have a nvidia graphics chipset, you only are displayed as having an intel integrated chipset.

 

 

Card name: Intel® HD Graphics 4000

       Manufacturer: Intel Corporation
          Chip type: Intel® HD Graphics Family
           DAC type: Internal
         Device Key: Enum\PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_0166&SUBSYS_909C104D&REV_09
     Display Memory: 1696 MB
   Dedicated Memory: 64 MB

This is why some mods will have problems running on your machine, and you will likely experience graphical issues as a result of having the intel integrated chipset.  If you had a nvidia geforce series chipset or the amd dedicated radeons you likely would not run into the graphical problems or performance problems you've had.  IF your computer actually does have a nvidia geforce series video card, it does not have drivers loaded for it so the machine is not detecting that display option.
