Re: The BP Compatibility package
I can't update the driver.  Version of graphics adapter is not supported at all. I have a notebook.


EDIT: Does anyone have any new ideas?

No one with a BP badge should behave this way towards users.

Put more politely, it sounds like you hardware may not be able to support BP as it stands. It's possible a coder would have a better idea of what's going on.

Re: The BP Compatibility package
Well if he has a computer which hardware aren't getting any driver upgrades, ie hardware that is now unsupported by their own manufacturer, he's going to hit more problems than just FSO problems. Getting a new computer is as legitimate an advice as it gets.

Re: The BP Compatibility package
I would say waste every option available if you're on a laptop and that's the only platform available before you start considering another investment. Hell I did it (being a crap laptop owner), and managed to get compatibility working.

If you somehow can't update your drivers by the GFX manufacturers, see your laptop maker's support/download pages or Google your card for the drivers (be sure you set a System Restore point or some sort of backup if you decide to try a driver you Googled that wasn't from AMD's site). If not, see if your card ended up in the "discontinued" list (it's probably sad to say if that is the case*, then run the next contingency you can think up).

Re: The BP Compatibility package
Since Antipodes has been merged into FS trunk, dedicated compatibility builds are no longer necessary. You still need the compatibility vps to play with the current nightlies, but you can use those now.

Re: The BP Compatibility package
Do you mean 3.8.18? When i use them, the BP crashes. I can only play BP when using special builds.

Re: The BP Compatibility package
nope - The E means 3.6.19 builds from the nightly builds forum.

Re: The BP Compatibility package
Could you please post an fs2_open.log generated with one of these new builds, as well as a screenshot?

Re: The BP Compatibility package
Please try starting the executable with the "-no_glsl" commandline option.

I really have to reiterate that updating your GPU driver is something you should do (I have the exact same GPU in my notebook, and I know for a fact that AMD is still updating them!). If you can't update them, try reinstalling them, as I suspect they've been corrupted.

Re: The BP Compatibility package
I went to HP page and then i should download driver/graphics?

 
Re: The BP Compatibility package
No, you should go to AMD's site and download the latest driver for your card.

 
Re: The BP Compatibility package
My graphics thingy is not supported. Where should i input no.gsl command line and how to do it?

Re: The BP Compatibility package
In the "Features" tab of your launcher, you should find it under the "Troubleshoot" flag list, with the description "Disable GLSL (shader) support". Alternatively, just type -no_glsl in the "Custom flags" field.

Re: The BP Compatibility package
Hey guys, how does BP, and the latest version of FSO in general, perform on the Intel HD 4000 located on low-voltage i3/i5 models? Thanks!

For example, how would the following run this game?

Intel Core i3 3217u 1.8GHz
HD 4000
6GB RAM
1366x768 screen

You'll be fine running base FSO, no MediaVPs. But BP will struggle and you will need to use the compatibility package.
