I guess your hardware is the problem. The Intel HD 4000 is just an IGP, which are not meant for gaming in general.

[pigpen]

@bassadict could this be his processor not having enough power? I use the intel hd graphics and my game runs fine but I have a intel 5 processor. when I play this game it shows my processor running at 2.7 g.

[bassaddict]

Your LOG file says core i3. Even though it isn't a very fast one, it's still enough to run FS in decent conditions at low settings.
Also lights are rendered by the GPU, not the CPU.

[ohyeah11900]

My game runs fine. It's just when I turn on the headlights it crashes my game or makes me lag pretty bad and I play my laptop with performance mode. I know some people said you can change priorities somehow I'm really new to windows 8 and don't know how to do anything on them..

[ohyeah11900]

Can anyone help? the game was running fine now it's now running right at all :/ I play the game for alittle bit then it crashes and says that the giants engine has stopped working I really enjoy this game but it won't let me play...

[Helmax]

When that happen next time, check your cpu's and gpu's temp. I had same problem at my laptop with another game, and that only happened for me when cpu was too hot. Even if you not play too long, that can happen, and in that case check if your pc/laptop not are too dirty inside.
If you use laptop, do you use a laptop cooler? In case not, consider buy a laptop cooler and place under laptop. I think that will help mostly all time.

[ohyeah11900]

How can I check the temps?

[böserlöwe]

Core temp for the CPU and GPU-Z for the GPU.

[ohyeah11900]

there is no way the core temp thing is right said my cpu is running 106 Fahrenheit and I'm only on the internet.. My cpu is under like 2-3% load and my gpu is temping about the same as the cpu. how is that I'm at 100 degrees already and i'm only on the internet..

[böserlöwe]

When you start the Game in Window-Mode you can open the CoreTemp at side of Desktop an have a look at same time the FS runs.
Then you have a Picture of themprature at playing with FS.

To Change tho FullscreenMod to the Windowscreenmode:
you have to open the game.xml in same folder as log.txt found.

Change from <fullscreen>true</fullscreen> in <fullscreen>false</fullscreen>

Save the file and start the Game with change the Screen
<width>1280</width>
<height>1024</height>

Save in Options and start again.

[ohyeah11900]

here's my cpu and gpu temps

[böserlöwe]

That is ok, but when in Game with play on map, you have to look again.
Drive with some Traktor and load some Bales or some other fun to try.
and have a look at themprature.

And in this Configuration you have a HD4000 Grafics in use. That is not the best for the Game.
Some Lights will not be show, while only 3 Lihgts are allowed to use in FS.
So use no lights than you can drive and have Fun with this, or you have to change the Computer.
