1.8 beta 2 crashing

[ska]

Hello, just installed 1.8 public beta 2. Unfortunately, it crashes whenever I try to play a game. Here's a crashlog -- any idea what's going on?

Looks like a graphics driver crash. Have you updated your drivers recently?

The whole log looks a bit funky though. Could you launch myth and try again from scratch?

[ska]

Thanks for the reply, punkUser. According to Windows Update, it looks like the drivers are all up to date (although I'm not sure how to check the graphics driver specifically).

Here's my attempt to launch Myth and try to play Willow Creek:

Try going to Intel's site. Click on "Check your system for the latest updates". See if there is an update for your graphics drivers that windows update isn't telling you about.

If that doesn't solve it, maybe updating directX might solve it?

If that isn't enough, try switching to OpenGL in preferences and see if that works out well for you.

[Melekor]

If that doesn't solve it, maybe updating directX might solve it?

The directx update is only for directx 9 and earlier so that won't help in this case.

[punkUser]

Yeah try updating the Intel drivers manually, but that's an older chipset so if it doesn't work in DX11 mode, try OpenGL instead.
