hamilton162 Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Hi On FM09, the new 3D view has never worked on my Laptop, so i have to play on 2D. This is irritating as i want to play on 3D. Here is a screenshot to show what i am talking about. Is there anyway to get the 3D view to work? Cheers Hamilton162 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurkingwithintent Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 What gfx card have you got? It's probably not good enough to run 3d. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ftg87 Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Here is my Graphics Card Info AlanCheers for having a look at this for me Yet again you will probably solve one of my many problems I would think that that GFX card is OK for the 3D view, I have a Intel one of similar standard and my 3D is OK. Are your graphics card drivers and Direct X up to date? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahmufcwafc Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 No problem hamilton I've a similar GFX card, but struggle to run 3D. What are your system specs again? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahmufcwafc Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Okay, looks like you have a good processor so that can't be the problem. You might want to buy some more RAM, but I doubt that'd make much of a difference for the 3D. Have you tried asking in the technical issues section? There are loads of SI guys active there that'll be willing to help. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter-evo Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 It definitely is not, maybe that has something to do with the game being installed only into the 'games' section. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
