Game installed on laptop, wont open

[extract]

Ok heres the deal, Im on a hp probook, its a work laptop

i5 M480 @2.67ghz
8gb ram
Radeon 6300m (I believe all problems lie here, but maybe not I no fuck all about computers)

anyways, installed fine, patched, opened game, a black screen pops up after launcher and almost instantly goes away, game completely closes, never even get past launcher.

here is the init log:

I updated my gfx cards drivers, pc has dx11 installed, all the searches I did online related to nc and this issue kept coming back to one term "Hardware T&L"....I only know what it means thanks to google, but I have no idea what the hell it is, does, and if its the problem in this situation.

So...community, any ideas? Thanks in advance!

First off use the installer on:

http://www.neocron-game.com/

Nid also references it too:

http://forum.neocron-game.com/showthread.php?147623-Public-test-of-new-Neocron-Installer&p=2204714

Its newer and includes:

Run DirectX Install [ ]
Run C++2010SP1 Runtime Install [ ]

which fixed the launcher black screen issue for me

I have a HP Probook too where NC is running on.

My CPU is an i5 too, and the graphics card is a "ATI Mobility Radeon HD 540v". It has Windows XP installed and I have no probs with running NC.

What OS do you have? Is it Windows 8 ?

Did you use the new CE installer from neocron-game.com ?

It looks like the key part of your error log is:


- T&L check (stopping now!)

Your card is failing the Transform & Lighting test which is somewhat surprising given the relative age of the card. Mobile cards can be a bit awkward in the features they support, though. For example, although this table (http://feedback.wildfiregames.com/report/opengl/device/Radeon%20HD%206300M) applies to OpenGL you can get an idea of how many features are supported and unsupported for that card.

yeah I have not been able to find any thing on the web that shows if this card supports that particular thing, I appreciate the effort guys will try the above mentioned tonight!
