Running LF2 on an Ultrabook

[LutiChris]

can lf2 be played on lenovo ultrabook i5 processor?
Graphics card: Nvidia gtx 650
Operating Sys: Windows 7

all it's showing is a black screen.

Just fyi, i don't own an ultrabook
It's my friend's laptop, who is mildly interested in playing lf2.
what can i do to help him?

What OS?

[Azriel]

^ windows, because it's lf2.

i've got an nvidia geforce gt 650m and lf2 works here. i can't find a (i think it's silva's) post about the visual c++ fix (isn't it on the website as well?) gotta go now but i'll update this post when i get back if i find it.

^ yeah only on windows.



for running lf2.. any os will do, if you know how to.
(ai scripting is the only thing which does not work YET, everything else does)

ontopic: it should work. Lf2 doesn't need much power.

They are talking about this fix: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/...px?id=3387
If he uses windows, then he should have it.

ya but anyone clever enough to use a diff os will be clever enough to include that in their post when they are having problems with a program made for a specific os (and probably smart enough to solve the problem themselves)

i think i had to install it myself on my previous laptop (windows 7 installation as well), so i would say it doesn't always ship with it

We already used the C++ thing and it had no effect.
He has Windows 7 btw {sorry it took sometime to find out, he didn't reply back till now}.

@Luti: is it a blackscreen but he still hears the music of lf2?
it might be that some maximized windows are interfering ( it does for me sometimes) which are in the background, close those, or minimize them, or just not have them in full screen-mode running.

if that does not resolve the issue, you could try to relaunch the desktop window manager service as described here:

(suggestion by zort via irc some time ago, in my case it didn't fix the problem, but it might fix yours)

I am not sure about it but it may be a graphic card driver issue.

Here i found the win7 64bit driver of your graphic card: http://www.geforce.com/drivers/results/62791
I hope it helps.
