AggrorJorn Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Which graphics card is it? The dv7 from HP is available with several graphics cards. press Windows Key + R In the Open box, type "dxdiag" (without the quotation marks), and then click OK. The DirectX Diagnostic Tool opens. Click the Display tab. On the Display tab, information about your graphics card is shown in the Devicesection. You can see the name of your card, as well as how much video memory it has.

ArtistDesigner Posted September 28, 2014 Author Share Posted September 28, 2014 it's AMD A6-3650 APU with Radeon™ HD Graphics 2.60 GHz Tfree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AggrorJorn Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Graphics card is supported so that can't be the issue. http://www.amd-news.com/cn_2011-42/en/a6-apu-vs-core-i3.html Do you have the latest GPU driver updates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtistDesigner Posted September 28, 2014 Author Share Posted September 28, 2014 I'm not sure how do i check? Tfree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick.ace Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Do a Windows search for "Device Manager." Open that program up, and then look under display adapters. Right click on your graphics card, and select properties. There will be a new window that pops up with a "Driver" tab. It will display the driver you can even update your driver from here, but DON'T do that. Instead, go onto AMD's website because Windows is pretty bad at finding drivers.

Josh Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 If you don't know, you need to install drivers from AMD: http://support.amd.com/en-us/download 1 My job is to make tools you love, with the features you want, and performance you can't live without.

ArtistDesigner Posted September 29, 2014 Author Share Posted September 29, 2014 so i did the auto detect and installed the recommended driver but the problem still persists Tfree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Can you please post the contents of the program log? This can be found in Documents\Leadwerks\Leadwerks.log.

ArtistDesigner Posted September 29, 2014 Author Share Posted September 29, 2014 the folder Documents\Leadwerks exists but Leadwerks.log does not??? Tfree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtistDesigner Posted October 6, 2014 Author Share Posted October 6, 2014 I've seemed to have gotten leadwerks to launch correctly, by going into C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Leadwerks\Tools and running and installing the openAl I still get the exception_access_violation message when launching tho but that's another story thanks for helping Tfree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazycarpet Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 so i did the auto detect and installed the recommended driver but the problem still persists AMD's auto-detect never seems to work for me, glad you got it to work; I'd still recommend finding the driver yourself, till I did I had problems with a small selection of games.

Josh Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Well, now that it's running, is there a log file in the Documents\Leadwerks folder?

ArtistDesigner Posted October 8, 2014 Author Share Posted October 8, 2014 btw I am now also having another spin off issue were my debugging/running my game keep saying failed to launch "c:/users/oswner/documents/leadwerks/projects/project name \project name.debug.exe" even if I create a new file and run with basically nothing in it Tfree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 If you create a C++ project there won't be an executable to launch until you build it in Visual Studio or Code::Blocks. If you are creating a Lua project, it will provide the EXEs for you. My job is to make tools you love, with the features you want, and performance you can't live without.
