RE: Black Screen but game still plays - plutomaniac - 05-24-2011 you may also be able to disable the embedded gpu from bios. It is better to be there so wait for the person to come.

I already said I can't disable the embedded (integrated) gpu from the BIOS, and I already talked to the person and he said he will come here on the weekend and we'll see what we need to do...

RE: Black Screen but game still plays - plutomaniac - 05-25-2011 Well the latest steam patch should be a similar to v1.2 for retail users. The are a total of 2 patches that FG has released but steam tends to alter them a little bit.

The changelog can be found here: by the way, look here: http://www.dell.com/us/p/inspiron-15r/pd#TechSpec It says it has Intel Graphics, no AMD. Even if I select the other same model that's called combo mod or something like that is has AMD Radeon HD 5650. Neither has 6470M. Did you tell us the wrong model?

RE: Black Screen but game still plays - plutomaniac - 05-28-2011 You have Windows 7 x64, right? Why is this not working? Can you pm me your service tag of the laptop so that I can find you drivers? Dell doesn't have your model at drivers section, no idea why. Let's try with service tag.
