Hi , i just recently installed starcraft2 , set all my settings to low but still encountered this graphical error : the entire map was dark , but all is working smoothly updated my gpu driver but nothing change all helps are appreciated! my specs: Operating System: Windows XP Professional (5.1, Build 2600) Service Pack 3 BIOS: v0.3326 Processor: AMD Turion(tm) X2 Dual-Core Mobile RM-70, MMX, 3DNow (2 CPUs), ~2.0GHz Memory: 1790MB RAM graphic Card name: NVIDIA GeForce 9100M G display Memory: 512.0 MB driver Name: nv4_disp.dll Driver Version: 6.14.0012.5896 (English) DirectX Version : DirectX v 9.0c
Yeah, your missing some polygon textures buddy. Please post your full dxdiag dump and I'll take a look see.
From a quick glance.... Your bios is like, super old. You are running 3326, and there have been two updates available on the Acer website for your machine since (3336 in Dec 2009, and 3334 a year earlier. You only need the newest one). The BIOS readme for 3336 does not contain any information on issues addressed. Considering the nature of this problem, and the lack of alternatives to try other then a different Operating System, I would attempt to flash the BIOS. YOU FLASH THE BIOS AT YOUR OWN RISK! The risk shouldn't be too high since you have a laptop with a battery, so if you lose power, the battery takes over. I couldn't find a chipset software newer then 17.04 for your machine(Windows XP). I found those drivers on Acers website. Unrelated to issue: Updated sound driver, here. Updated Network driver here. I hope something comes about. I have to head to bed. If the BIOS doesn't do anything for ya, I'll look into alternatives. Finding new chipset software for your machine is a PAIN. Googling your chipset "nForce MCP77MH" brings up references to your exact model of Acer laptop. O_O WTF.
so im missing polygon texture because of old bios? if so then i'll manage to flash mine then thanks for your help
