galciv2 ultimate

crash after game start

It seems I've tried everything from the forums and scouring the internet but still crash at game start playing TOA. galciv2 runs just fine, was there a higher video req for TOA? I just want a recent 4x for my netbook! :p

 

This is from my most recent try. The drivers are the newest on the intel website, but no the newest according to vista. I've tried both  drivers. Tried the reg edit for langs, edited my .ini all over. at least i can play galciv2.

If TA crashes but DL/DA run fine, look into turning off animated components.  Also consider disabling enhanced ship rendering and turn off allowing mixed vertex processing mode.

These are all under your video options, near the bottom.
