It's a perfectly safe utility from a reputable site.

I figured someone would want to know...

 

You know a permalink at the top of the tech support forum may be a good idea.

 

AMD/ATI catalyst drivers.

Nvidia forceware drivers.

those are generic links to the pages that give access to whatever driver you want...

Im not sure which driver to download. I have troubles with the game crashing from time to time. Im running a 1 year old $2700 Asus gaming laptop. Vista.

 

What specs do i need to tell you in order to figure out which driver to get?

if you download gpuz from techpowerup, and run that, it will tell you the brand of the gpu and the model number, you can go to the appropriate vendors site (ATI/invidia) and and download it using their download utility.

Geforce FX cards do not meet the game's minimum requirements, that is why the game is giving a DirectX error. You need one that supports Shader Model 3 (Geforce 6 series or Radeon x1 series or higher) in order to run it.

Catalyst 9.7 has been released, so too has forceware 190.38 been released.

This isn't a driver version update I'm posting, so much as a sort of notice. CUDA enabled (8000 series or later) invida gpus now have an openCL (Open Compute Language) driver available, downloadable here. OpenCL is the new open standard API for gpgpus.
