    I just bought the game a couple days ago. My desktop w/ Windows 7 runs the game perfectly.

    My laptop had Vista and was working fine as well, until I formatted and put Windows 7 on it last night. Now when I start the game it loads fine but displays nothing. The laptop is ~ 7 years old, but I updated all my drivers on install so it has the newest graphics drivers.

    Any window that moves over the game window is displayed instead. This happens for the startup window and the game itself.

    I changed the startup_config file to start in FullScreen. I actually can see the game now, but it is flickering at seizure speeds and my command prompt spams LAG2 and LAG3 over and over.


    Here is the output when I run as admin in compatibility mode for XP SP2 not-fullscreen. Same thing happened for a few other compatability modes.

    If you could send the contents of "system.txt" from Logs/ that'd be useful, looks like a driver issue to me at the moment (opengl unsupported/badly supported)

    I really wondered if it was a driver issue.. but it seems weird that it worked fine before and not now.

    That 'no' on the pixel shader 3.0 has kept my lappy out of many a game. A la no Eve Online :(

    I also just now installed via the download option from the website instead of Steam. Still has the same issue.

    I installed "Don't Starve", which struggled pre-format on this machine. It runs beautifully now.

    So I really have no clue why KAG worked wonderfully before and now has issues.

    Does anyone have any other ideas? Maybe trying to find some older drivers? It would enjoyable to play this on my laptop.
