    Hey guys,

    After about 10 years, I decided to revisit this wonderful game.

    Unfortunately, I don't own a gaming laptop anymore, but my EliteBook 2560 should be able to run this game without any issue. But there are glitches because of the integrated gpu (weird lines in character creation, etc). I saw a few threads about that issue, but there isn't any solution, and in most cases, those people have dual GPUs and they just need to make sure that the game run with their dedicated gpu.

    I re-bought the game (GOG), but I also tried it with my CDs, and with all the patches. In all cases it's same problem.

    I also tried several intel drivers, the latest and a few older ones. Also tried a OMEGA "gaming driver" (notice the quotes there...).

    Do you guys have any ideas that could help?

    Thanks!

    Saw somewhere that using a second monitor might do the trick. I don't have one, so I used a virtual second monitor. Didn't change anything :(

    Do you also have this problem with Temple+?

    I have no clue if this will help, but you could try installing dx9.0c

    http://filehippo.com/download_directx/

    It may not help at all but you never know, and it shouldn't hurt anything.​

    OH yeah! it works with Temple+ Thank you so much!!!

    Now, I'm not really familiar with that patch. Is it compatible with NC?

    Edit : well it seems so, as it mentions Cot8 at the loading screen when I open the game via Temple+ config.
