Hey all. So just purchased ST Online(digital download). I installed the game and started it up. It downloaded a patch, then I logged in & made myself a character. No problems there, but as soon as I tried go into the gameplay it froze at the loading screen.
Looked online and decided I needed to update my drivers. I did so and started the game again. This time when I start up the game, my character's image doesn't appear on the character elect screen. I try going in to the gameplay anyways, and now no problems at the load screen, and the intro movie plays, but all the textures are missing(I think?) and there is a black square in the middle of my view. Once I get into the actual gameplay, things are similarly wacky. Here are some screen caps:


I tried a fresh install but no help. Any thoughts?
My system is:
-Intel 965 Express Chip
-Intel Core Duo 1.83ghz processor
-4gigs ram
-Windows Vista 64 bit

i dont think your intergrated intel 965 is cutting the mustard
I'm guessing that you're using a laptop - so upgrading is nigh on impossible.
Well, have never had a problem running any games before. And odd that updating the drivers made the problem worse. Oh well, digital version was only $30, guess I wasn't meant to play this game heh.
I'm sure you had Crysis and Far Cry 2 running just great on it, maybe a little Bioshock 2 and Dragon Age......... or perhaps not. I'm surprised you can play any game released within the past 1-2 years on a 965 chipset.
Also they do make laptops with decent GPUs. If yours says "Intel integrated", it ain't one of them.
