FE and AMD E-350

will it run?

April 25, 2013 7:04:11 PM from Elemental ForumsElemental Forums

I´m considering on buying Fallen Enchantress but first i wish to know if it will run in my HP Pavillion DM1 (AMD E-350 APU/Radeon HD 6310 - 6GB RAM - currently running Win7Pro).

 

I have a desktop that meets the recommended hardware, but i wish to know if i will also be able to run FE on my netobook using minimum graphic setting.

 

Anyone knows?

 

Thanks

I am running Legendary Heroes with an AMD Turion 64 TL-64 and ATI HD 2600 graphics, which is considerably older than your E-350 rig.  Also, only 4 GB of ram installed/3.2 GB or so addressable (32 bit Windows Vista assigns the upper memory addresses to video card memory and other such thiings, so part of my ram is left unused).  No issues to speak of.

I had no significant problems with Fallen Enchantress either, btw.

Your E-350 should do fine, as long as the video drivers are properly implemented in this game.  As I'm using WAAAAY outdated ATI drivers thanks to Toshiba not releasing an update for them, and ATI Catalyst not allowing me to update them (tells me to go to Toshiba), I think you should be fine, and probably have a nicer looking experience than I am having on my older machine (which still looks pretty good all things considering).

Just reporting back that i bought FE and it indeed runs fine on my E-350 netbook (low graphics but good) and i´m playing a lot the game without problems - strangely enough, i never had a crash on my netbook, but on my desktop, that has more than the recommended hardware, i constantly get crashes later on the game (most the DX Error: Invalid Call) - any idea why?

 

Thanks.

Makinus,

You probably should submit your error log to the designers here, so they can track down that DX Error.

In Documents-My Games-Fallen Enchantress there is a debug.err file.  You might want upload that file to a file service like Dropbox and post the link to the file, or send the debug.err (and maybe a savegame file) to support@stardock.com.

Not sure if they will do any more bug fixes for E:FE, but I would hope so.

I occasionally get DX errors while Alt+Tabbing between full screen FE and another Windows application.  It seems to be more likely to occur if I spend significant time in another application, then Alt+Tab back.
