I have an Alienware-51 m766 series. p4 3.4. 1G RAM, ATI Mobility 9600. all drivers up to date.
I initially had problems installing the game, as it was rebooting itself during the process. I figured the DVD-ROM drive and CPU were working overtime to extract all the files (I could hear the fans spooling up). So I held it off the table (for 5-6 minutes, not fun holding 9 pounds). it installed ok. applied the patch 1.02 and defragged, and rebooted. The first couple of times I tried launching BIA, the splash screen would come up and I'd get the error log. So i reinstalled again. and got it to load.
Although the game doesn't "officially" support laptop mobile graphics, BIA is running fine on mine. Hopefully there will be a patch to address laptop models but it seems like UBI has alot more problems to address than laptops.
Anyone else having successes or problems with BIA and laptops??
