Need for Speed The Run and Assassin's Creed on Intel GMA 4500
by thund3rw0lf
New Need for Speed The Run cannot run for me.
And Assassin's Creed runs very good and can be tweaked.
Need for Speed The Run
I could not get this game to work on GMA4500MHD. It gave me DirectX error, asking for DX10 compatible graphics card.
GMA4500MHD supports DX10 but it is very limited, it is enabled just to support simple DX10 stuff.
Battlefield 3 is DX10 and higher only game, and it cannot run on GMA4500MHD because of it.
You can try, maybe it works for you. If it is share with us here, how it works!
Assassin's Creed
Running good, with only changing in-game options but runs great with edited config file.
With only changing in-game options it runs in 16-35 FPS but ocassionaly stutters and lags, but with config it runs flawless, looks worse but atleast runs great in 15-40 FPS.
First update your game to 1.02 version
In-game setup
Start game and goto
OPTIONS > GRAPHIC OPTIONS
Change next
RESOLUTION 640x480
VERTICAL SYNC OFF
MULTISAMPLING 1/3
LEVEL OF DETAIL 1/4
SHADOWS 1/3
POST FX OFF
GRAPHIC QUALITY 1/4
Config Edit
Now find Assassin.ini
in next folder (folder is hidden !!)
Windows XP
Documents and Settings\Username\Application Data\Ubisoft\Assassin's Creed
Windows Vista
Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Ubisoft\Assassin's Creed
Now replace original Assassin.ini with this one Assassin Creed olio Config v1
Skip Intro Videos
Download Assassins Creed olio No Intro
Extract Video folder to main installation Assassin's Creed folder and overwrite existing
Additional - FOV Hack
You can try fov hack to make game smoother and it also makes game screen bigger.
It looks like it lowers FPS but makes game a little smoother.
Download Assassins Creed FOV Hack v3, extract acFOV3.exe and config.ini
Start acFOV3 and if it is not already then set Aspect to 0,7487 (it doesn't have to be same number just close to 0,7)
Select version of game (depends on updates)
Leave windows of FOV Hack open and start Assassin's Creed game
When you start mission, press * on numpad to enable hack and / on numpad to disable
That's all for now, enjoy!
That's it, enjoy!
but in dxdiag it shows direct x version 10(4500MHD).....win 7
ReplyDeleteStill, game won't run, maybe for another reason, I tried everything :(
ReplyDeleteI think it supports directx 10, I didn't know that when I tested game.
But so you, in all windows 7 it says DX10 in dxdiag but that doesn't mean graphics card is DX10.
Because DX in win7 and vista is updated to DX10 but if graphics doesn't support it, it still says DX10 in dxdiag.
i have direct x 11 on my laptop with intel gma 4500mhd and nfstr works fine for me
ReplyDeleteI tried everything, it just gives directx error..
ReplyDeleteYou are the first person that I saw, that runs this game on gma 4500mhd
I would try it again but I don't have game anymore.
Actually I didn't update this article, gma4500mhd supports DX10 (not only DX9) but it is very limited.
Also GMA4500MHD doesn't support DX11, but Windows have DX11 installed already.
It doesn't mean that GMA can run DX11 game.
Battlefield 3 has same problem as this game, it cannot run because hardware is not good enough (doesn't support full DX10 capabilities), and game is only DX10 and higher.
So, gma4500mhd can run DX10 game if it doesn't require higher abilities of DX10.
They added support of DX10 in it just to support simple things...
I used Royal BNA Driver (latest ver.) on this one. (And thank you for sharing it to us) oh, and I play the Dx10 ver. of the game. Even at maxed resolution (1280x800) it still runs faster than lowering it to 640x480. My laptop is Pentium Dual-Core @ 2.00GHz and using Windows Vista. I hope it helps with those laptops the same as mine :)
