Recommended Posts

by the way, I have not tried it yet, but will NOLF 2 work fine my laptop at least?

If your laptop video supports it.

Hi ALL and Happy New Year :D

 

i have Exactly the Same Problem like Billy

i have an Intel Celeron G1610 but im not sure with Series from Intel HD Graphics

i have all try Comp. Mode WinXP SP3 still Graphic Errors

i have Nolf Goty get from here and try this under Win8/8.1

the Mouse Lag or Mouse Stutter i could fix with Disable the Music in the Launcher

 

so looks that for me

Unfortunately these games required a video card that supports hardware T&L. Most of the Intel onboard graphics more than a couple of years old do not. Not sure about the latest onboard offerings.

They could try different settings for the graphics or make sure they have the latest driver for their video etc.

I'd also suggest running the game in compatibility mode if using Windows Vista, 7 or 8. (use Windows XP in the compatibility mode)

someone with the technical know-how really needs to make a patch that fixes this issue

 

I wish I had the technical skills, if I did I would do it, but sadly I don't know the first thing about that kind of stuff

I had a notebook with an Intel onboard card a while back (it was a Dell D630 with an Intel 3000) and I could play NOLF without any problems.

 

I had Windows 7 on that machine and the only thing I did was using the driver from the intel website and not the one that Windows is shipping out.

 

You can try installing this driver and see if NOLF is running afterwards:

 

https://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng&ProductFamily=Graphics&ProductLine=Laptop+graphics+drivers&ProductProduct=2nd+Generation+Intel%C2%AE+Core%E2%84%A2+Processors+with+Intel%C2%AE+HD+Graphics+3000%2f2000

 

If it doesn't work, we have another solution - I know the Intel card is very poor and produces a lot of graphical errors in most games.

 

What you could do is disabling the TnL core in the intel card and let your processor handle the whole TnL. A decent machine can do this without any performance issues.

 

Download 3D-Analyzer from here: http://www.3dcenter.org/download/3d-analyze

 

After that, extract 3D Analyze to the NOLF folder and run it. Choose nolf.exe as the program you want to modify. Tick the option "Force SW TnL" and then click on RUN. And it should work.

 

Edit: I just tried again on my newer notebook with switchable graphics. It has an Intel 4500. I run 3D Analyze in Win98 compatibility mode, choose the nolf.exe, enable software tnl and run it. And it works :)
