Hi i started playing this game last night and had no problems whatsoever, after logging off and going to bed i can no longer start the game. When i double click the icon i get this error :
We were unable to initialize the game's graphical display. Please take the following steps to ensure compatibility:
Visit the technical support forum for up-to-date information and suggestions.
Make sure your system satisfies the game's minimum requirements.
Update your video drivers.
Ensure that hardware video acceleration is fully enabled.
I've done all 5 steps that the link gave me(the registry editor only had the 2 first things to change)
processor : Intel(R) Core(Tm) i7-2630QM CPU @ 2.00 GHz (8 CPU's), ~2.0 GHz
memory : 4096MB RAM
graphics : ATI radeon HD mobility 6 series with 1696 MB
Does it happen to be one of those laptops with the switchable graphics modes? If it doesn't switch early enough the game won't detect it correctly and thinks the Intel chip is the main video.
