Halo 2 Vista and other games broken on Nvidia Mobile Graphic Cards!!! Fix It!
I have the Toshiba P105-S9312, with the same hardware specifications, but Windows XP, as the model laptop for the video below. Toshiba sells these laptops as gamer machines with the latest model in Vista Home Premium. Some gamer machines, huh?
Everything works great in XP, and all the latest games run at full or near full level of details, including Oblivion, Supreme Commander and others, especially oldies like Fable.
However in Vista (driver bane of my existence) , Halo 2 is unplayable. I sunk 50$ on a game that I cant play which is really annoying. Store policy is not to refund “open software” like games. Also Oblivion and Supreme Commander run no more than 15-20 FPS, and Fable has so many issues with Vista that I cannot play it, ranging from disappearing models, stuck gameplay and really really bad slowdowns. Who is responsible for this mess and waste of my consumer money? Nvidia does not claim responsibility for their GeforceGo line of products, and Toshiba does’nt care now that we have bought the computer? and Vista fix the games. RELEASE THE PATCHES!!!
How sad and desperate that we have to rely on a patch from day 1 to have a game work, and that as computer users we expect a patch anyway.
