Now TF2 has the offline trainer my eldest wants to give it a go but the vga in her laptop is a bit poo (Mirage S3 poo to be exact)
Rest of the machine is ok, i've pumped it upto 2gb & 1.6 c2d with vista basic32 (haven't reinstalled since swapping the cpu, so that the next thing on the list), but being a laptop i'm stuck with the Mirage s3 vga system (64mb dedicated, i've allocated another 256mb so it's got 320mb to play with, masses i know!)
TF2 will load and run, but the moment you actually connect to a server (training or otherwise) it dumps out with "HL2 has stopped responding", so i'm guessing the video aspect is too much.
I've got all the video options turned down to low, are there any cmd line options i can use to make the video "go easy" on the poxy chipset?
(Next plan is to fit a 40x40 fan on the vga to keep it from catching fire!)
cheers
