Hi all - finally got it working - but only works when you force it to the intel gpu - doesn’t work on the nvidia card.

<t> thanks all for your help but I'm still in limbo with the game. <br/>
<br/>
- updated all video drivers (Nvidia and Intel - I did note that although diagnostics on the laptop indicated the intel driver was up to date when I dug deeper there was a newer one!)<br/>
- Run as administrator<br ...

<t> Set it to high power mode and forced it back onto the Nvidia card half a dozen times - still the same behaviour. I'm also getting the corrupting behaviour with the manuals that another poster had commented on<br/>
<br/>
To confirm<br/>
- I've ensured that all drivers and windows updates have ...

running as admin and using the standard windows AV.

I've attached the app crash file from the windows.old folder which is created every time I try and launch the app. If there are other error files saved then please let me know where they are and I'll be happy to include them

Hi folks - done all that (updated drivers, made sure nvidia is being used, made sure windows is up to date, uninstalled and reinstalled AB) and still dead. - help

<t> Thanks for the responses so far - now have progress (of sorts) - I can now get tot he change settings menu (once) and set it to windowed. When I launch it though I get some cool marital music and a big white window in the centre of the monitor (set to the windowed setting) but then nothing else ...

Launch from Game menu -play game - game menu goes away for 2 secs then returns.
Same action when I try and go into game options

I updated all drivers including the video and audio

dxdiag attached
