This does mean that they have plans of releasing a fix
I saw a compatibility fix for SIMCITY for intel 810 on the EA tech support website and i hope that there can be something of the similar kind for cricket 2004
HERE IS THE COMPATIBLITY FIX FOR SIMCITY

The Sims Makin' Magic (PC) VIDEO - Graphic Corruption with Intel Chipset

? Question
? I have graphic corruption with an Intel 810 Chipset.

? Answer
? Try editing the shortcut to The Sims.
To do this:
1. Right-click on your desktop and choose New > Shortcut.
2. Click browse and find the game directory (C:\Program Files\Maxis\The Sims).
3. Find the icon that looks like a blue stop sign with lighter blue people on it. It should be called \"sims\" or \"sims.exe\".
4. Click on the icon and choose Open/OK at the bottom.
5. Click Next twice and you should see the icon on your desktop.
6. Right-click on the icon and choose properties.
7. There should be a highlighted target line. Click in the line with your mouse.
8. Hit the End key on your keyboard to move your cursor to the end of the target line.
9. Add a space and then \"-w\" without the quotes.

Start your game using this icon. If that doesn't help try:
1. Repeat steps 6-8 above.
2. Add a space and then \"-nosound\" without the quotes.

Restart your game using this shortcut and it should no longer experience this issue.


If the above fails, try disabling AGP Texture Acceleration in DXDIAG. To do this, follow the steps below:
1. Click start
2. Click run
3. Type DXDIAG
4. Click \"OK\"
5. Left-click on the \"Display\" tab
6. Click on the button next to AGP Texture Acceleration that reads \"Disable\"
7. Click \"Exit\".

NOTE: This may cause undesired results with other games. Be sure to reset this to \"Enabled\" before playing any other games. Try this as a last resort.
SO Iam very optimistic of getting a patch
BTW , Iam very happy that EA responded
If others want to help the less fortunate , please email to
ozsupport@ea.com Please bombard them with the emails of the same topic
They do respond in these tech support addresses
Do not ever sent an email to hb studios
Bye
Adi

Wait and see and keep our fingers crossed till then
BTW why do people remain aloof when the intel issue comes by
No one replies

Where does it say they have plans to release a fix?
 
Mr . Andrew Wilson,
There is more reason for us to smile
I got an official reply from EA AUS and they replied saying that
Hello,
Thank you for contacting us here at Electronic Arts Technical Support
In order to best troubleshoot your issue, I'm going to need some more system information. Can you send me the information from a program called dxdiag.exe. To do this:
? Go to Start -> Run.
In the box, type the following: dxdiag
? Click \"OK\"
? Click the \"Save All Information\" button on the first screen of the application.
? Then on top of the \"Save As\" box that pops up, select Desktop (if it's not set to save there already), then click Save.
? Finally, attach the dxdiag.txt to your email reply.
After we receive this file we can continue troubleshooting the issues at hand and hopefully come to a solution.
Please respond back to me if you have anymore issues concerning the game.

Thank You,
Tim E.

DID U SEE THAT!
Nowhere in the email has he mentioned that cricket 2004 will not work on INTEL 810 gfx controllers
I had mentioned to him that I have an INTEL 810 gfx controller gfx chip

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN??
THe prob can still be solved
IAM VERY OPTIMISTIC
 
Mr.Wilson,
The previos reply I got was from EA USA and this one was from EA AUS
 
Iam very diappointed with people`s response to this topic
I thought that it would flood with replies but the only ones i got were and encouraging one from Amir and a pessimistic one from Andrew
INTEL 810 was a hot topic when the game was released , is`nt it?
Has everyone changed their display cards for this game?
 
Actually it is good news,but i already got my card changed.I got a new ATI Radeon 128 MB.
 
i think that we will get an idea on what will be the fate of intel 810 gfx gamers in a couple of days
But we are certainly heading in the right direction
 
hey andrew
can u tell me whether there is anything mentioned about the non-compatibility with intel 810 gfx chips in the readme.txt
INTEL 810 latest drivers are fully compatible with dx8.1 and almost fully compatible with dx9.0
Those people at the tech support still say that we can troubleshoot the issue in a couple of days time .
I even called the ea 0z tech support and they said that the chances of getting a tweak are very good
Something on the lines of the ones released for Sims can be expected
 
i'm not so excited because cricket 2004 has poor graphics and it will run dead slow on my pc...
 
They say that there is no problem of compatibility with intel 810 gfx as it is fully compatible with dx8.1 libraries which is the sole requirement of cricket 2004 and also has whql certified drivers
They have suggested upgrading to the latest gfx drivers and sound drivers also
bye
adi

hey andrew
I want to know the website from where I can update my Audio drivers for my
AC``97 audio controller
There are not audio drivers in the Intel website
 
Well Done Adi, you raised some hopes for intel 810 users.If after updating the drivers game runs on your computer then plz inform all of us.Thanks.
