[BSOD igxpdx32.dll] Star Wars Battlfront 2

[Orozco14]

I play Star Wars Battlefront 2 and I updated my Mobile Intel(R) 945GM Express Chipset Family Video Card version to 6.14.10.4814. But I don't remember what my previous version was because my older version didn't give a blue screen of death when I played Star Wars. I am wondering what the older version is so I could downgrade.


P.S. My computer is an Inspiron E1405

Hello, your graphics card is not powerful to handle that game. I'd recommend getting a new one. Is this a laptop???

Go to http://www.canyourunit.com and check.

I know for a fact this game can run on my computer because I have been playing for a while but then I updated my video card to version 6.14.10.4814, and now it gets a BSOD after a few maps of gaming. All I am looking for is an early video card version under this one. Thanks in advance.

The only thing I am missing is the Vertex Shader but I'm telling you this game runs really smoothly with my video card.

Here's the list of officially supported GFX chipsets for that game:

Supported Chipsets:

*ATI Radeon 8500/9000/9200 family
*ATI Radeon 9500/9600/9700/9800 family
*ATI Radeon X300/X600/X700//X800/X900
*NVIDIA GeForce3 family
*NVIDIA GeForce4 family excluding the GeForce4 MX
*NVIDIA GeForceFX family
*NVIDIA GeForce6 family
*NVIDIA GeForce7 family


Anything not on that list is not guaranteed to function. It appears that you got lucky by being able to run it earlier with your integrated Intel graphics, but that's all it was, luck. Without the proper hardware capabilities (shader model included), it won't run properly.

Sorry for my rudeness but wasn't anyone listening to my request? I did point out that I didn't get any Blue Screens of death when I had my old card. I am just looking for a earlier version under 6.14.10.4814 so I can play the game again.

We did listen. The fact that you were able to play before does not change the fact that your chipset is not supported by the game. As I mentioned, your ability to play the game previously was pure luck.

The only thing I can suggest for you at this point is to try a Windows system restore to a point earlier than the date you upgraded to the newer graphic driver. Unless you have the original driver discs that came with your PC, it can be extremely difficult to find old drivers. The newer versions are released because the manufacturer has found problems with the previous drivers, and develops fixes for them. Obviously in your case, one of the negative side effects caused Battlefront 2 to not be playable anymore.

Try the system restore, and if that doesn't work, I'm not sure that there will be any other options available to you. Good luck!

I see. Well thank you anyway for your time but I will look for a solution somehow.

Did you try the system restore?

It should undo any system changes you made before a certain date, and you can pick which day you want to restore to. It might solve the problem.

 

[Orozco14]

It won't solve the problem. My computer was reinstalled and the video driver updated.

Earliest drivers are in 2007. Hope this works.

I tried downloading a few of these. For one, the download mirrors had errors. When I tried to download from all the mirrors what seems like Japanese shows up. If there is anything else that can downgrade my video card that would help alot.
