Can someone let me know if this game would run on my laptop? (NVIDIA GeForce 310M, Intel(R) HD Graphids, Intel i5, windows 7)? I have been having trouble running cities in motion on my laptop (constantly crashing and lagging) and I just want to make sure that this game would run on my laptop before I make a purchase on steam. I have updated the latest NVIDIA driver in my laptop Train fever looks interesting and I am really keen on getting it!

Your help will be greally appreciate!

Now I know TF doesn’t support SLI and I don’t expect it to, but I’ve found over the years that if a game maxes out a GPU (and on occasion TF does), even if there is no support for SLI, sharing the load does improve performance somewhat, which is the reason I’ve been fiddling with it.

The first hour I played TF I got the OpenGL error, I used the old BF3 fix but I did something slightly different.

I got an old Nvidia 9600GT with the latest 3.40 driver, and I’m using Windows 8.1 64-bit.

Because I’m using Windows 8.1 64-bit I made a different “64 bit” key: Instead of using the “DWORD (32 bit)” key. I used the “QWORD”(64-bit)” key with exactly the same description as below. After that I played for 6 hours in a row without any crash, So I think it helps to use the right key for the corresponding system you’re using. (32-bit or 64-bit). I hope this helps you fix this error.

This seems to be an old fix used for BF3.
1.Simply go to your registry: Start –> Run –> Type in “Regedit”
2.Go to “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDrivers” and create a key of type “DWORD (32-bit)” or “QWORD (64-bit)” (depending on what system you’re using) and name “TdrDelay” with a value of 10 as Decimal value.
3.Reboot and play

In a nutshell it gives the GPU 10 seconds to recover/respond vs. 2 seconds (default).

This works for Windows 7, 8 and 8.1

This basically alleviates the “ Display driver stopped responding and has recovered” issue and/or “Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered.” you will only see in the EventViewer.

If you want to learn more about this setting: Timeout Detection & Recovery (TDR)

TDR stands for Timeout Detection and Recovery. This is a feature of the Windows operating system which detects response problems from a graphics card, and recovers to a functional desktop by resetting the card. If the operating system does not receive a response from a graphics card within a certain amount of time (default is 2 seconds), the operating system resets the graphics card.

Before TDR existed, problems of this nature would have resulted in a system freeze and required a reboot of the operating system. If TDR is enabled and you see the TDR error message, “Display driver stopped responding and has recovered,” this means that the Windows operating system reset the display driver.
