I've been trying to run Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix, and I've been having some problems. For one, if I try using the Direct 3D 10 Plugin (Hardware), it practically crashes upon entering the menus for a New Game or Loading. The monitor goes black, comes back, I get a task bar notification about a video card, and the window for the game is black. I still hear the sound, though.
Trying something like Direct 3D 10 (Software) gets me to the menu and then some. The intro FMV is a bit laggy, but worse is the gameplay if I skip the FMV. The opening scene is incredibly slow, and after skipping that, we get to some gameplay, with laggy music and video.
I've tried so many different settings with that plugin, and I just don't know which I should choose. Is it my computer? I don't have a T&L capable video card, like you get from Nvidia or better yet, ATI.
Processor: Pentium Dual-Core CPU T4300 @ 2.10GHz, 2.10 GHz
RAM: 4.00 GB
System type: 64-bit Operating System
DirectX Version: DirectX 11
And going under the display tab in the DirectX diagnostic tool...
Name: Mobile Intel 4 Series Express Chipset Family
Approx. Total Memory: 1695 MB
DAC Type: Internal
I have no idea if my stuff is out of date or not, really. Is this laptop too out-of-date to be trying to run this properly? Do I need a better video card?
