Get this message everytime i:


* leave a station

* perform a jump

* do a WH

* experience too much pressure on the GFX ( has happened once. )

At which my screen sets out goes into black flickers and then need a few seconds to recalibrate itself to the new system.

At other times it turns white/black and doesnt restore at all.



I run everything @ absolute min. and my system is:

Notebook: Win 7 64Bit, intel pentium 6100 2ghz, 4 GB ram, intell HD graphix with 128 MB base - extendable to 1.5 Gb.

Any ideas on what to do to solve this, which DOESNT invole buying a new rig?

This issue with System 7 64-bit and the Intel HD graphics has been around since Incarna for me. I'm told that they are looking into it. I'm looking for a 4-6 year old 32 bit Vista box cheap so that I can play all this new "cutting edge" content without any problems. SAD REALLY SAD that CCP programers can make a flawless 32 bit space game and be unable to support a "common as dirt" HD graphics set that otherwise has no problems running the game.

feck..

Fecking hräll actually - i really like Win 7 because Vista is so heavy and the interface of it suxes - oh well, going back to medium graphix and waits for a miracle.

It doesn't matter what settings you use - the problem is somewhere in how the Intel HD driver interacts with CARBON.
Basically we are screwed.

I've been there before - in the late 90's, I was running Voodoo graphics (Glide) and the game industry went another way.
Now they are embracing CARBON, and there are many who are simply losers... Cry

I've got the same issue.

Strangely, it doesn't happen if the window is minimized or if I've got the Esc window open when transitioning.

Is this happening on an Intel HD graphics card? If so, see this thread.
