I just got my brand new shiny packeage of my very own Gears of War for PC. After deleting over 10GB of stuff to fit the massive 12GB of crap that it puts on your HDD, I then waited for about an hour of installation and decompression to play the game. This is it. The moment of truth. *little gears of war window pops up to indicate the game's launching*
BAM
wargame-g4wlive has encountered a problem and needs to close, we are sorry for the inconvineince. Send or Dont send.
Anybody else know a solution to this or have had this happen to you? Comments are greatly appreciated.

you have integrated graphics, wich is awful if you want to play any 3d game from the past 7 years. You will have to upgrade it.
Dude it's happening to almost everyone with this game....somethings wrong with the game itself.....I'm even having issues with it. Believe me my comp doesn't have a problem running this **** I have a AMD X2 5200+, Nvidia 7800 GT OC, 2GB DDR2 RAM (800MHz), FSB on MOBO is 800MHz.
Your GPU is way, way, wayyyyy below minimum specs. A geforce2 would have a better chance of running GeOW than that integrated card and they're worth about a dollar or less.
Well, i got the laptop for 500 bucks, i can play all the FEARs, and Halo (not much of a surprise) But im sure that it woudnt tell me that it has encountered a problem, it would probably say "Your graphics processing unit has been known to have problems with handling graphics from . Cancel or Continue anyways."

your specs aren't the problem......everyone else is seeming to have the same issues.

ok then lets say you find a fix for the error youre having, youll be playing the game at 5fps with missing textures.
No man, why'd you buy a $500 piece of ****. Sure, for internet its good, and media, but not gaming. It has no graphics card to support the insane graphics of this game.
Ok, seriously now, my computer doesnt suck that bad, I wont have the worst or the best graphics, but i can bet on it that i will get AT LEAST 25 fps.blackalbino360
lol, nope. Think lower than 10 with missing textures.
Im not rich here people. I got it as a first computer gift last year, ok? It' not a pice of s***, stop telling me it is. That was not my question. I wanted to know if there was a solution to my problem, not to know if anybody here thought my computer sucks.

Look here
Your answer probably lies somewhere in there. As for your laptop being crap, it depends on what context your talking in. As a normal laptop it definitely isn't, but since this is a gaming forum and it looks like you want to play games on your laptop, it's an absolute POS.
Hey everyone, I have just recieved my GoW for pc game and everything seems to fit the requirments " 2 GB RAM, NVidiaGeForce 7100GS graphics, a Pentium D 935 3.2 GHZ dual core, and a Biostar mATX motherboard " but i have had the same problem, about a minute after loading the game, the screen minimizes and the message comes up about not working properly and having errors. Anyone know whats wrong?
sorry , but Integrated graphics most of the time are not supported, some games may work but in the requirements on most new games it says (Integrated graphics not supported) plus not all pc games are programmed the same way

Your integrated 7100GS is what's wrong.
I'm really beginning to think that this really is just a GPU issue, as the only people so far having problems are those with integrated graphics cards under the minimum requirements.

It's pretty bad for these days. Gears of War is using a "next-gen" engine (Unreal Engine 3). The unreal engine preformace (mostly)depends on a strong CPU and GPU to run well, seeing as those are the weak points in your machine I don't believe that you'll be able to run the game at any playable level without turning most every setting down to low.Thatstilldoesnmeanyoucan'tenjoyit.
Do not let the numbers confuse you. A 6800 is a lot better than a 7100GS. The 7100GS is a cheap card andI doubt it can play anythign recent. You can probably get for $20.00.
well alright, i thought we were on a number system here and 7100 would be higher than 6600, but i guess not, luckily i just bought a 8800GT and that will def. meet requirments
lol your right it costs like 44 dollars when the GT cost 300 so it should make a differance, though i downloaded unreal 3 and crysis, both working, and UT3 was even on highest graphics

I'm also having alot of problems, like for one thing, it would always kick me out of servers, the game just lagged like hell.......and Now it just crashes.....Oh and u'll love this: IT JUST CRASHES ON XP, doesn't work at all.....

lol, how can you speculate on something you clearly dont have a clue? get a refund, the game will be unplayable even if you can get it to work. I guess you're to young to work, buying a console might be the best way to enjoy recent games for you... if you can however work, buying a 800$ pc is a good investement for games/work/school and more.
Had exact same issue. What has worked for me is to simply "alt-tab" after the error message (do not touch the error message itself)...it takes me back into the game and it plays fine afterward. Also...to greatly reduce lag-like stutters I turned off "tripple buffering" in Nvidia control panel.

As for that error it could very well be related to your computer. And the fool that runs around with his OMG OMG gears has issues calm down and stop blowing things out of proportions.
The laptop that you have does suck horribly for gaming. For regular useage like word, internet, watching a video that's fine but for gaming that's like the car driving down the street backfiring every two seconds held together by clothes hangers in the gaming world.
Yes you may not be rich but im sorry it just isn't good for modern gaming. If your computer does not meet requirements you will have issues most of the time. And you also will not be getting 25fps in gears on that video card. What you need to do is go and get the latest drivers cross your fingers and try again. If it somehow works then have fun if it's playable.
Likely im guessing they didn't put error checking into the game if you're below requirements so it's probably trying to do things that your hardware doesn't support thus generating the error
Go to c:/programfiles/gearsofwar/binaries/startup.exe and enable administrator piveledges. Also you cant really run GOW because your labtop does not have an adequate 3d card. Try it anyway though and see.
