Please stop doing that!įor my part, I can't run EHM in anything other than full screen mode under Windows 10 on my Surface Pro 4 without it crashing and wreaking havoc on my system. I did not say that anything outside of a desktop is non-standard when it comes to EHM, that is willfully misrepresenting what I did say. And don't blame other people for your own mistakes.
Do NOT buy a laptop or tablet and expect the same performance and reliability and versatility as with a desktop. I have been in the computer manufacture/service/repair business for more than 30 years now and when I say something it is usually with that experience backing it up as it is in this case. Complaining after the fact and directing that complaint at someone not the cause and in no position to help will not make things better.
The only way to fix a problem like this is to contact the manufacturer of the machine and have them update the drivers.īeing the "victim" of a problem like this is a hazard that you should be aware of when deciding what machine you should buy and you should do due diligence before making buying decisions. ALL of those having these problems have laptops or tablets.
The particular problem this thread is all about is due to non-performing GPU/driver combinations. You can dislike those facts however much you like, that won't make them disappear. One of the weakest point of laptops/tablets is their proprietary graphics solutions, another one is their weak CPU-performance compared with desktops. Buyers should be able to recognize and be aware of that fact. If you decide to get anything non-standard then you also have to accept the problems and downsides that come with that decision.
This exact problem is due to bad drivers and that is not a SI-problem per se.īuying the right machine for the job is NOT bad advice for anything. I no longer work in customer support and you may not like my answer but it happens to be the uncomfortable truth. There are known problems both with Intel graphics drivers and with Microsoft firmware. Thankfully, I think Riz is working on this rather than telling his end users they're SOL, so I look forward to the solution when it comes. If the EHM response is, "Find a kludge to work around it or buy a desktop system with a standard nVidia GPU," then it's pretty clear where the market is going to send its dollars - not to Riz and co. It took the OOTP guys less than half of a version cycle to adapt their display setups to work on the super-high-resolution Surface screens. "This bespoke game works best on one specific platform, so if you don't have that platform you need to suck it up"? This literally (in the correct usage of the word) may be the worst response I've seen on a support board. Those of you that choose to use an unusual setup have to accept that they sometimes will have to incur inconveniences due to doing so. There are literally (in the correct usage of the word) hundreds of thousands of GPU/driver combinations out there and it's not easy to get them all to work. Not a single user running a desktop with a discrete GPU has complained.
This problem has nothing to do with the game engine, it's a display driver issue and everyone that is having this problem are running non-standard display drivers mainly laptops and surface tablets. It's not a PC in the regard that it's running a standard AMD or NVIDIA GPU.
