Looks really like an GPU driver problem . btw what are the specs of your laptop ? Could give us your Dxdiag information from the laptop ? Press your Windows key or go into Start . Type run and hit enter . A new window should appear . In the new window , type dxdiag and hit OK . You should now see a new window called DirectX Diagnostic Tool . At the bottom of this window , press Save All Information . <| sep |> This so weird for me as an LSU and USC fan . <| sep |> Song with Gucci coming too ? <| sep |> That definitely is some food for thought , because it ' s a good point that only Blizzard and a few exceptions have remained popular . But I don ' t really see how the genre will die out entirely . There has always been a sizeable number of RTS players , sometimes it ' s been popular and sometimes niche . And even though the player base has dwindled , certain RTS games such as Age of Empires and StarCraft have made their place in gaming heritage and popular culture , and are likely to draw some substantial amount of players and interest . I do agree that the outlook for RTS does look grim , but I don ' t see how it ' s likely for it to die out entirely . Perhaps the main reason why no RTS has succeeded is because there has been no RTS that has been able to significantly change or revolutionize the genre like StarCraft and the three races have . In this regard I feel that there may be space .
