Steam won't run on my ASUS laptop

[kingofdogs]

Hi all,

I have a brand new ASUS Spin SP111-33 laptop and for some reason whenever I try to play Police Simulator: Patrol Duty, Steam just hangs and then the game won't load.

I am running Windows 10 Home with the following specs:

Intel Celeron N4000 CPU @ 1.10Ghz
RAM 4.00GB
64-bit operating system.

I have tried a full re-install (of both Steam and the game) and a complete factory reset. I have also updated all device drivers, DirectX, latest version of Steam, etc.

Does anyone know of any issues from the above information that could help me out?

I haven't tried any other games, only the one mentioned above.

Many thanks in advance.

Did you "install drivers" from the Intel website, or the CD that came with the notebook?

Because with low-end hardware like this, chances are that Asus didn't care about games at all; they just packaged a driver that gets Windows to boot.

Now, you'll never get any kind of performance out of this hardware (although I don't know the game you mentioned; there are games that just don't need performance), but it should at least start so you can judge for yourself. However, with just one game in the testing pool, there's no way of telling whether the issue is with the drivers or the game itself...

HI All, thanks for the info. I thought that may be the case. It's a shame, my 10-yo son got the computer as a gift and all he wants to do is play games on Steam!

Not meant to be it would seem.

The ASUS Spin SP111-33 is a laptop which has a screen that can be flipped to it's a tablet. It's meant for basic internet, word processing and watching youtube. It's NOT made for games or even for editing photos/videos.

That CPU is way below the minimum specs of the game. It also has NO dedicated GPU, only onboard graphics.

So simply put, that laptop is not strong enough to run that game.
