locking up with w7 ultimate.

Post by chaskuchar1 »

three times now. I have 3ds fs14 and wanted to try it on the pc. bought fs15 and then got fs13 to play while waiting for fs15. I have to remember to save frequently because all of a sudden the pix stays the same and no response from the computer. even task manager does not work to close the program. only rebooting solves the problem. I am thinking it is a video problem and maybe someone knows the best video display. but don't know the video card I have in it right now. chas

When you have run the FS13 once, you can find the Log.txt in the folder near the Mods-folder for FS13
Link in my Signature to Find them.
Post the Log in next and we will see which Grafics and more you have.

That's an old, very weak iGPU, which is not able to run any current 3D game. If you want to play FS on your computer, you'll need either a new computer, or at least a dedicated GPU for your current computer.

I thought these computers lasted forever. fs13 runs great after I set the video to 1920-1280. I worked in tech for years before I retired 10 years ago and got this computer. I guess I thought it was still top of the line... thanks for the info. that's probably why I can't get fs15 to run. any recommendations for a video card that I can put on this motherboard, a dg451d by intel. thanks for the help. chas
