Help with Windows / graphics card
« on: January 21, 2018, 05:00:57 AM »
I left my little boy driving tanks offline yesterday. This morning starting the game the resolution is all screwed up. When I click on Video settings only the 'Microsoft Basic Render Driver' is available in the top box. Even offline I get a framerate of 0.

The computer has an AMD Radeon HD 6900 graphics card. When I looked in Device Manager and properties it says 'No drivers are installed for this device'. If I click on the driver tab and click search automatically it says 'Windows has determined that the best driver for this device is already installed'.

I don't know enough about Windows to fix it. Any suggestions?

Try System Restore to start with. There's multiple ways to start it but the fastest is to simultaneously press the Windows button and "R" for the "Run" window. Type "rstrui" and click OK. Follow the instructions. Choose the latest date you know it worked.

I've got an older system by today's standards that still runs the game well by my standards.

You can grab the latest driver directly from AMD and install it.
