How do i get 3D on?

Its just showing 2D

possible your system isnt good enough to handle the 3d. whats your system specs?

Yeah, I think if it's defaulted to 2D that means your machine isn't supported for 3D.

how do i find out my specs?

control panel > system and maintainence> system.

this is on vista.

i also cant get 3d to work, my system cant handle it i assume?

that is processor speed and ram.

what about video/graphics card?

Also go to your preferences and tick the enable 3d mode

i would have thought this was standard

that is processor speed and ram.

what about video/graphics card?

where can i find this

Also go to your preferences and tick the enable 3d mode

It honestly sucks my laptop has the same card as above and no 3d, Defo no point buying it now.

where can i find this

hit start then type "run" into the search box and then press enter.

type "dxdiag" into the run box and hit enter again and look under the display tab.

copy and paste everything in that tab here.

??? help

look at post above

You can't expect games to play on rubbish laptops, there is no point in buying a laptop without a proper graphics card.

I've got the same issue heres my diag

THIS???

yes. both cards arent good enough to run the 3d. 512MB graphics card is minimum for the 3D to take effect.

Big problem though, because my graphics memory is dynamic.

So it uses as much memory as is requested, so it starts at 256mb and maxes at 1 gig.

And I can't manually change it, damn chipset.

i got the same graphics card Intel® 82945G Express Chipset Family but with graphics card with 256 mb memory(my actual other specs are fine just my poor graphics card that is poor) and the 'minimum requirement' is "Intel 82915G/82910GL or greater" and i cant get 3d working either

512MB is minimum so 256 isnt good enough to run 3D

512MB is minimum so 256 isnt good enough to run 3D

Yeh I know this, what I'm saying is that most Gcards have a set amount of memory.

Mine does not, it has a limit and start point, limit being 1 gig and start point being 256.

So what it does is it allocates memory depending on what the program requests.

So basically FM09 has not taken chipset memory allocation into consideration

doesnt seem so.

depending on the graphics card.

Basically lads if you have one of these Intel graphics cards on a laptop you won't get 3D? I know I can't?

Probably not to run the 3D. Your Vertex Shader support is software provided, which I think is why GMA 900 and 950 chips aren't working.

And ignore Stevie_G, he's talking rubbish.

i dont understand, my laptop could play games like Rugby 08 and Cricket 08, and even games that are graphic intensive like Formula 1 but cant play this :s

Infact I'm wrong the max mem is 244.

What a slap in the face.

*goes shopping for graphics cards*

So what is mine? 256 mb?

What do i need to get 3d to run? and how much will it cost me??

thanks

Will I need to purchase a new graphics card if it doesn't support 3D? And if so how much will one be that will support it? And where can I get one from?

Thanks.

if you wish to use the 3D graphics and your current card doesnt support it yes you will need a new one.

Okay mate thanks, do you have any idea what type (im not very good with these things) will be needed? And how much it will cost me? Also, where can I get one from?

Cheers.

im not too sure about new graphics cards sorry. try google?

Okay mate, will do, thanks.

no problems just trying to help

Can you change the detail level in preferences? I can only change them to low which should mean i can run 3D on low settings

Maybe a bug to do with Intel chips as no reason why some of those mentioned won't run 3d on low settings

It's a shame for you guys who were looking forward to the 3D but are unable to play 3D due to your system.

I feel for ya.

Yeah I have Intel GMA 900 and it doesn't work for me, but according to most people it's a new feature and has a few apparent bugs with players reactions etc. But the game does feel more immersive.. I might fork out on a new graphics card though.

seems ok from what i have played

Defo no point buying it now.

If lack of 3D is stopping you buying the game then i why on earth have you bought any previous versions ?

oooh well pointed out

Can you change the detail level in preferences? I can only change them to low which should mean i can run 3D on low settings

Maybe a bug to do with Intel chips as no reason why some of those mentioned won't run 3d on low settings

yeah in my preferences it has a combo box that i can set 3d to low as well so its likely to be a bug or something possibly should bring it up in the correct bug forum

am gutted is there any settings in bios i can change?

if your graphics card isnt upto it there are no settings you can change to make it work sorry.

Just thought I would post this. I am running a ATI X1050 video card and I have 256 MB of video memory. I am able to run the 3D game views. Granted it is a little jerky in some points but still I am able to run it. I cannot say anything about a laptop video card but if you run on a desktop, there is some hope that you can run it with 256 of memory. I am on a Pentium 4 2.0 system with 1 gig of ram.

So it wont only be your video memory that will effect if you can run it or not. There are options to look at if you cant run the 3D game mode

Hope you can find a way to run the 3D mode
