Anyone got this error before?http://yfrog.com/4b53079523p
I got it after installing a copy of windows 7 ATI 2010.
Drivers are all up to date besides my wireless lan one version 2.0 /8.0 lol but i used it for a long time on previous OS's on this laptop.
Nothing is different at the hardware part.
I downloaded the game by utorrent ,installed,patched,verified and yet I get that error.I also downloaded,installed,patched,verified by Direct Link and I get the same error.
I had no problem playing on windows 7 x32 in the past...so i believe ATI one is quite the same?
I also submitted a ticket yesterday and even by now,no reply...

    Windows 7 ATI Edition is an unofficial repackaging of windows 7. Produced by neither Microsoft NOR AMD/ATI. Are you even using an ATI video card? you can check the rockers team website for any relavant info: http://www.rtwincustomize.net/

    afaik that error screen has to do with graphics cards/drivers.

    if you're running any video card other than ATI, i guess you just have to hope that installing the latest driver works. it still wouldnt hurt to install the latest driver even if it is an ATI card.

    I dont think its a good idea to run that specific version of windows 7 on a laptop at all (sorry didnt notice this before). considering the fact that laptop gpu drivers are very rarely supported/released by the gpu manufacturer (apparently ATI in this case). Instead you must use the driver provided by your laptop's manufacturer. If you let us know what your laptop model number is specifically we can help you look for it, and perhaps it will work. However, I believe the Windows 7 ATI Edition features tweaks for the Desktop versions of ATI gpus rather than the laptop versions.

    It's an Acer Aspire 5315.No hardware part changed so the specs are the same.
    I have been on Acer.com on support ->Drivers and the driver provided for video card is made by ATI :/
