Windows 8.1 basic install [solved]

Did you not look at this? HD7750 GPU's on ebay.co.uk here.
This build is GBP240 approx, not allowing for shipping on some items. That leaves you well within your budget to lash out on a decent monitor, or maybe you already have a tv you can use, a wireless keyboard and mouse, and maybe one of these.
When you build your own rig, you know what's in it, cheaper than buying one. I've built four. You can always take the mobo and cpu to a tech to have it fitted if you are unsure of what you are doing, or get someone in the know to assemble it for you. It really is relatively easy to do.

I have always wanted to build my own as it gives a better sense of accomplishment.

But trying to understand which parts are compatible is just a headache right now. As well as where to buy parts from.

I may be getting a low profile unit from my work place so then I can start figuring more out, no doubt you will hear from me with advice but from what you have sent it seems a very good machine.

After seeing my spec of my laptop how much you think I can shift it on for?

I just sent you pics of that build. The parts picker site checks compatibility for you. As for the sale price, I have no idea what you'd get for it. If you get a rig from work, send me the details, and then we can see if it's worth upgrading.

I will let you know as soon as

The computer you built, how will that handle GP4, I also use football manager too so it needs to handle both

It runs everything really well. The 2013 CSM Mod runs at 1280 x1024 35fps. It can go higher but the eye can't really pick the difference above 30fps anyway.

Hey guys, it's a problem with Windows 8 in general.

You need to change a line in the graphics.cfg to get it to display.

I can't remember what exactly, but I will post my cfg later when I'm home and it should work for you

EDIT:

Found it in an old post!

Change this line:

0 ; [RELEASE] Number of multisamples if available (0-16 :: 0 => off, 1 unused)

Multisamples must be 0, or you will get black screens.

You can always run in windows mode to get the game running with multisamples, but for fullscreen, it must be 0!

Does anyone know what multisamples are, and why they affect windows 8 in particular?

Btw thanks ralv!

Multi-sampling is related to anti-aliasing and it is for the rasterisation and smoothing of graphics. It is doubtful that it is related specifically to Win 8. Would Win 8 do this if installed on a pc with a decent graphics card, somehow I doubt it. More likely it is a graphics driver problem. Changing the line is forcing the graphics chip to not take multiple samples of the polygons so there would have to be more memory available allowing the chip to proceed with the display, albeit at a lower quality.
An additional note for the OP, the first line of the cfg file also needs to be changed to 1, this will enable it, default is 0.

Doesn't work on Windows 8, or 8.1 without turning it off for me.

Don't ask me why, it's just the way it is.

It might not work for the OP, for it definitely works in my case.

Computer says no. It is the strangest thing that a new OS would have such a fault. The graphics rendering is done by a gpu chip, usually executed by proprietary drivers. It doesn't make sense that the shell also has an effect, the only thing I can think of, is that it could it be due to the way Win 8 allocates memory? Also, the entire program is being run in an allocation that emulates Win XP. This sort of thing is way out of my league unfortunately.

A bit of research has turned up the fact that Win 8 does not support MSAA (multi-sampling anti aliasing). This is due to the way Win 8 handles the flip model swap chain in it's API. Here is an explanatory article on the swap chain.
Most posts I've turned up on Win 8 and MSAA relate to the phone os platform, and users want the capability to enable MSAA restored. Other posts relate to BF3/4 frame rate drops due to no MSAA.

Ah, so it is a genuine Windows 8 problem?

It's beginning to look like it. This is probably an issue that needs to be written up in a separate post so I can pin it to the FAQ. Meanwhile I'm itching to know if the fix you posted resolves the OP's black screen issue.

---

[www.mediafire.com] Some say you should click it, you know you want to. [www.gp4central.com] <----GP4 Central

Yeah me too!

Good idea to put it in the FAQ too if it is the issue.

I don't want anyone to be put off from Windows 8, as i genuinely prefer it to 7, and want them to keep the modern style.

so as it stands, what is the proposed fix to the black screen issue for windows 8 users.

Mortal,

Can you post the pics you were talking about in regards to the computer you built

Seem to have it working now by putting in into windows mode using graphics.cfg multisamples was a 0 for me from the start, so not too sure what they issues was.

I am aware that there seems to be countless mods around containing all parts of a season graphical update, but can anyone supply a link if you would like to do it bit by bit.

Even thought I am running on an integrated graphics card it seems to be running very smooth, just would like to try it bit by bit and see how much I can add before making my own pc.

Try this:

It might help you, this is what i use.

Make sure to change the resolution to your laptop screen.

1000 ; [VIDEOWALL VIEW] Car lod : distance at which to cull cars in view (metres) v5
100 ; [VIDEOWALL VIEW] Car lod : scalar v2
1 ; [VIDEOWALL VIEW] If using advanced car shader, then we can also (optionally) use improved wheel lighting
