    hi all,

    just installed OPFlash Coldwar on my laptop and upgraded through 1.2, 1.3 to 1.46.

    Ive a Compaq nx5000 with Intel Centrino
    1.5Gb RAM

    Anyone know why this wont play?

    Keep getting Cannot Create 3D device-Adaptor0 blah blah Intel 82852 blah blah Fullscreen error....

    Surely if my card is 64Mb as it states in dxdiag, this should work?

    Any thoughts?

    I'm surprised you got it running on that card.
    How does it perform?

    Eh....why? Any of the modern integrated gfx solutions can run Op Flash on high.

    Back in the day I used to run the game on high settings with a 32mb Diamond TNT2 card.

    As far as requirements go, even for the time, OpFlash had fairly low requirements.

    !

    When it came out it *could* run on a wide range of kit, but you could (and can) keep throwing cycles and ram at it and it would keep using them, particular on large operations.

    I guess I just underestimated modern integrated Intel Cock graphics.

    Some of the more recent intel offerings in the integrated market are comparable to an fX5600 in terms of performance - certainly not a great card for a proper gamer but it's very impressive for an integrated option and will still run new games at a playable level.

    Ah, back in the days when they didn't bother trying to make integrated graphics anyway decent - me and a friend got PC's at the exact same time - mine had a 32mb TNT2, his had integrated graphics...4mb. :D
