Anyone get Goat Simulator to work? T7200/X1400/2GB /Win7 32

#1 Post by alkemyst » Sun Aug 24, 2014 3:04 pm

I have a T60, with a T7200 and a x1400. It's got 2GB and Windows 7 32bit.

Goat Simulator will not load. It gives the popular goatgame-win32-shipping.exe has stopped responding.

My graphics crash from 1400x1050 to 1024x768 so I think its a graphics drive issue.

Anyone have a solution?

Thanks

My last laptop had these specs:

I5 2410M 2.3Ghz
8Gb DDR3 1066
Intel HD Series
750Gb Seagate Momentous
Windows 7 HP x64

It ran goat simulator very sluggishly, even on minimal settings. They updated it a couple weeks ago to improve performance, and it ran better on my desktop. My laptop broke so I can't test it again, but I'm very doubtful it will run on anything less than those specs above.

Let me know if it does work, because I wanna play it too on my R60 >:D
Current: -R60 14" T-9945, R40 15" T-2897, 600 13.3" T-2645-45U-
Previous: -R40 15" T-2897, R40 P4-M 14", R50 14" T-1859, E425 T-1198-

Goat Simulator works like a charm on my machine, although not a precisely fair comparison for this inquiry... my specs:

Intel Xeon W3570(similar to Core i7-960) 3.2 GHz, Quad-core with HT
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680M(upgraded MXM module)
12 GB DDR3-PC12800S RAM
1920x1200 17" LG WUXGA display
Windows 7 Ultimate

I think in your guys' case, the graphics hardware is just not capable enough to run it properly. Goat Simulator uses a fairly recent edition of the Unreal Engine and UDK, which will usually require substantially powerful graphics hardware.

aPanzerIV(nice username btw- I play World of Tanks and enjoy driving my Pz. IV H) - the minimum requirements for Intel Graphics list the Intel HD 3000 series, which is... exactly what you have. The best thing you can do is to make sure your laptop is dusted out and the fan's clean, make sure no other programs that consume graphics power are open, and make sure your laptop is plugged in(so any power-saving throttling is not activated), set everything to low and hope for the best. Goat Simulator uses a real Gaming 3D engine, which Intel HD isn't built to handle well. Just give your Intel HD the best chance it can to run the game nicely.

alkemyst- the minimum requirements for ATI cards seems to be the X1300, which is the same family of cards your T60 has. I might have a T60 like yours I can try my copy of Goat Simulator on, but I think you're in sort of the same boat as aPanzerIV. The fact that your laptop refuses to run it at all is very strange- but keep playing with it... try right clicking and setting it to run in compatibility mode or turn visuals off. Try setting your screen to those resolutions before starting. It could also be that the card simply isn't powerful enough to initiate the 3D engine... the minimum requirements list the X1300, but this might refer to the desktop card, we on our T60s have the LAPTOP variant of that, which is less powerful.

I'll have to see if I can fine the time to pull out my T60 and try it out, if I do, I'll report back. But if not, hope this helps guys... and good luck.
