texture problem on nvidia geforce go cards

[neilf4321]

I am having similar problems as others are having with the texture issues, no menu, no hub etc. It won't let me change the video resolution - stuck at 800x600, and when I click auto configure it sets everything (shadow density, detailed view) to 0 or 1.

 

My laptop specs are:

CPU: Intel® Core2 CPU T7200 @ 2.00GHz (centrino duo)

CPU Speed: 2GHz

System: RAM 2GB

Operating System: Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium Edition, 32-bit (Service Pack 1)

Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce Go 7950 GTX

 

I have installed the Nvidia drivers 180.70.

I have tried to install the Nvidia drivers 180.84 with a modded inf file (laptopvideo2go.com). This driver has been recommended by Rockstar to fix the issues - BUT the driver does not seem to install. Everytime I install it and restart the computer, the drivers remain at 180.70. I think this is because the 180.84 driver does not support Nvidia Geforce Go cards.

 

Is Rockstar releasing another patch? Is Nvidia going to release a new driver to support the Geforce Go cards?

Does anybody know how else I can get this game to work on my laptop? Any guides, links etc are appreciated!

I have the same specs as you (XPS M1710) and I'm having the same problem, but only after I run the Benchmark test. But if I dont otherwise, I'm stuck with all this weird black sh*t everywhere. Thanks for the link to the laptop version of the 180.84 driver though. I was really pissed that it completely skipped my card.

My benchmark test freezes in the middle and spends forever fading out to black... got this game for christmas and its completely unplayable!
