Okay this is gonna sound really stupid and dumb. I have tried everything I can think of to enable the blood spatter to show up on my people when they kill things. Sad thing is it never show up and I have unchecked marked and check marked the opition. It's driving me nuts that it doesn;t show up. Any help please and thank you.

My Specs:

Intel® Celeron® - Processor
Mobile Intel® 4 Series Express Chipset Family - Video Card
Windows 7 - Operating System
2 GB - RAM
Direct X 11 - DirectX 11 (Jun2010) or later

I feel I only need to list these to see if I can get any help since I'm not sure what the other specs would have to do with it.. Also I know my video card doesn't meet what they would recommend. I can't afford a new better card or a different laptop.

Now that a portion of the hardware infpormation is added (edit), most of the Intel chips omitted many normal features and functions that real video devices have included for about ten years.  Only the newest onboard chips from Intel now finally have caught up on features and functions.  To use the old video chips, the owners were expected to obtain and use software that emulated the missing features and functions, which slowed the game down more. 

I do not know the names of any of the emulators other than 3Danalyze, nor do I know where any such emulators may be obtained.

Old cards with only PART of the shader functions, or with only 128 MBs of onboard VRAM were stuck with small texture files that omitted eye colors and blood splatter. The Radeon X800 and X850 were fast, and the game ran nicely on them (DAO), but all brown eyes, and no blood. There were a couple of Geforce 6n00 cards that never offered 256 MBs of RAM, and those acted the same way.

Why don't you just complete the normal problem report you were supposed to, and let's see if anything shows up, shall we?

I've already tried Google and yahoo to see if anyone else is
having this problem and so far no one. Second I didn't list my specs sense
everything of the gibing to the pools of blood show up meaning my video card is
working. Hence why I didn’t feel it was necessary to post it. I have used this
same laptop for DAO and everything showed up fine there including my character
being soaked in blood. This means for some reason maybe my game isn’t getting
the fact I have unchecked the box a million times for the blood spatter to show
up. Thanks for the information by the way and I get your trying to help. You just seem to have an unorginal way of doing so. That I could be taking it wrong. Sorry.

The person posted specs in another thread.

Windows XP Minimum Specifications
OS: Windows XP with SP3
CPU: Intel Core 2 Single (or equivalent) running at 1.6Ghz or greater
AMD 64 (or equivalent) running at 2.0Ghz or greater
RAM: 1 GB or more
DVD ROM (Physical copy)
20 GB HD space
Video: ATI Radeon X850 256MB or greater (this is clearly wrong)
NVIDIA GeForce "6600 GT" 128MB or greater (and this one is more wrong)

(Note: IMO, the practical choices for the two video cards above should be the Radeon X800 Pro, and the Geforce 6800 GS, at least, for small textures - it will take a Radeon X1650 XT (or X1800 GTO, same thing, almost) for medium or better textures)

INTEL'S GARBAGE (Graphics Chip) IS NOT SUPPORTED

In other words, no support at all for a very bad joke of an underpowered laptop!

Just because the graphics card is "working" doesn't mean it can't still be the source of the problem.  The graphics chip might be too weak, or there might be a glitch with the graphics software drivers, or the card might be overheating or underpowered.  It's important to give a full system report as well, not just the graphics card, since other parts (operating system, processor, amount of RAM) might be relevant to the problem.

If the specs another user posted are indeed yours, I'm sorry to say but there may be no solution short of getting a whole new computer with a decent processor and graphics card.  Your PC is just too weak to run Dragon Age II properly.  This isn't some MMO like World of Warcraft, which started back in 2004 and can still be reverted to settings from back then.  This is a modern RPG using the latest graphics technologies and details; a low-end Intel integrated graphics chip doesn't have the right graphics muscle to run even what might appear like basic features.

There may be a shred of hope for you yet, though. Try downloading and installing the latest graphics driver for your graphics chip from Intel.

It just might fix the no-blood issue.

Ah alrighty thank you. They are mine I even edited my first post to show it as so. I already knew the graphics card was **** when I bought this thing. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't some kind of bug or something. I just find it werid that the blood spatter shows up for DAO and not DA2. I know my computer isn't a perfect gaming one but it works. Thanks for your help.
