swat 4

[pentdragon]

I was playing swat 4 although slow, so I upgraded the memory, now it says my video card does not have certain features, and the game wont work, I took out the new memory and it plays fine again although mighty jerky.
I have on board graphics, the new memory is ok because my computer runs faster with it in, but when I put it in again it gets on about the graphcs card not being good for swat 4 again.
So how comes the game works with less memory and not with more.
Please help.

upgrading memory is not just a case of putting anything in,it has to be matched to your existing ram.
sounds to me like your ram is incompatible.

But my new ram was matched buy an expert and it works fine with everything else I have on my computer and faster,
When I have the extra ram in the game gets on about my video card, and does not mention the ram.
But when the new ram is not in, the game says it needs extra ram and does not mention the video card?.

The ram must have been the main issue to begin with, which youve now solved. What does it say about the card?

[pentdragon]

Cannnot remember something about my card, not supporting shadows or something and another type of rendering cannot remember which, then I carry on to play it and the screen goes black for ages, so have to restart comp.
But I can run the game without this extra ram, although slow and choppy, so why does it not say anything about the video with less ram in it.
By the way it is on board graphics, but still deoes not explain the issue.
