Hi, I just installed BS4 and it seemed to install fine, with no problems. When I load up the starting menu, the graphics (the flames and the background) are big white boxes.
When I start a new game, I see the FMV movie part, but then as soon as it cuts to the henchmen spying on George (New York?) things start to go bad, everything's blocky, or white, or washed out, then thescreen goes black (while the audio plays perfectly fine). Every once in a while I get a flash of a scene, with rigid parts of characters, and blocks of scene design.

I lowered the graphics definition to low to see if that would help, but that crashed the game and pulled up some error thing in notepad. Now the game will not launch at all (pulls up the same, or maybe similar, error message.)

I assumed it was because my video card is not good enough, even though the computer is newish (a laptop that was bought last summer, so it's not even a year old). The rest of the specs seem fine, and when I pull up what I think is my video specs I don't see any problems.
This is what I could find: (I'm fairly clueless with this tekinikal stuff)

So any ideas anyone? Any possible way I'm going to get this to work, or should I cut my losses and pack it away for some day long down the road when I have a computer that can run it?

Thanks for the help,
William

It looks like your video card has Intel Integrated Graphics, which is not adequate to run this game.

Having said that, someone on this board posted a way that, possibly, people with your kind of video card can run the game:

It's probably worth a try. If that doesn't work, then no, you won't be able to play the game, unfortunately.

Thanks for the help Marian! This seems to have done the trick. Hopefully everything keeps running smoothly.

Thanks again,
William

Have you got the latest patch installed aswell?

If not Here.

[Marian]

Great news, William! Fingers crossed for you.

And, as ozsem said, there is a patch, and it's important. I don't know if it invalidates saved games or not (hopefully it doesn't), but the readme file should be able to tell you that (I hope)!

Hi,

About the patch: I've got the North American release which I've heard comes with the patch for the European release. Is this a different patch or will this already be built in?

Thanks

[Melanie68]

The built in patch is the same.

Ok, Thanks again everyone for the help!
