The first minute is one map thats fine and after that is next map which is messed right up. Makes no sense.
Ive made it run on DX9 to see if that works. Made it smoother but still the glitches. DX is up to date. Cant update my graphics cards drivers becasue the ones that the laptop came with are the only ones that work properly - i've tried updating before and it made it run at about 2% of its potential.
Any ideas_..

Played 3 maps - 1 was fine - 2 were messed right up. Wish i knew what was causing it coz i like this game but its unplayable when glitches make it so you cant see anything more than a foot away.

Its really odd that its only some maps that are totally messed up and others totally fine - it make no sense to me. The problem with trying to fix graphics issues is it could liturally be anything causing it - could be one setting on the ATI control centre that needs selecting or a currupted file anywhere on the system, or could be one little thing in the game files or video settings that my compter just dosent like. I dunno - i give up for now lol.

Maybe they have a clue what is going on.

I just checked what version drivers i have and even though they are from 2010 they are still the latest ones available from HP. On the ATI website they say:
Article NumberGPU-28041
The AMD Mobility Radeon graphics driver supplied by the notebook manufacturer is customized for the built-in display and the features and functions specific to the notebook. It is recommended to use the drivers provded by the notebook manufacturer.
I wish i could remember exactly what drivers i tries when i first got this laptop. Anyway - i know the ones i have now work with most games; think i'm better off leaving it alone for now. Hopfully HP will make a new version one day (i wont hold my breath for that one though lol)..

I took a brave pill and tried updating the drivers without doing a time (and DVD) consuming backup: D
The reason I never succeeded with them ages ago, I found out, is because HP set up most or all laptops they sell that use switchable graphics (they have one ATI card and one Intel built-in chip that need to be able to switch) so that they couldnt use the drivers from AMD.
Anyway, luckily I found a post on the HP forums about people modding the ATI/AMD drivers, because HP is so slack as to not bother updating such a vital thing as the graphics drivers for going on 3 years!.. I was going to try one of the mods but one of the last posters said he'd got his (different model and graphics card) HP laptop updated from the new drivers at the AMD website - the previous ones never used to work.
I cleaned off all the old driver stuff, put in all my info into the AMD driver searcher and it suggested using an automatic update program they have – refused to update the driver for some stupid reason, like it has done for years with HP switchable graphics. But under that thing there was one other download – for the latest beta driver. I decided to give it a go and yeehar - it’s finally updated. No thanks to HP lol.
Hawken is no longer glitching
