• Alienware Alpha refuses to play Star Wars Battlefront 3

  Not too sure what else to try...

  Bought a copy of PC of Star Wars Battlefront 3 of Dell.

  He arrived, installed original, installed the game, but the game would not load (game seems to be gray out originally). Installed on my Media Center PC Battlefront (i5 / 16 GB-RAM/GTX770SLI) and it will start and play without any problems.

  Went back to my Alienware Alpha (i5 / 8GB - RAM)... Upgrade to Windows 10... still has not loaded...

  Experience of GeForce uninstalled and reinstalled and updated drivers for the last... Still has not loaded...

  Updated RAM on my Alienware Alpha from 8 GB to 16 GB (ordered through Dell... shot in the dark)...  Still load the game...

  GeForce experience sees the game, but is unable to optimize or restart...

  Account Origin see the game... but it's greyed out on the Alpha...

  Windows sees the game as being "set up" and is unable to launch...

  Any help or suggestions here? I called the origin, with me by checking the settings of my account and some basic PC troubleshooting... Unable to find a problem...

  Reference called Dell... Transferred 3 times and told me its probably a "software problem" and that maybe they could help me if I paid them $129.00?... What is rather low because I bought the system, game and RAM directly through Dell...

  I've seen countless comments, posts and videos of people with Alphas playing this game...

  Anyone have any ideas on what I can try?

  This site has really not much help.

  After running around trying everything I could think of including updating my drivers and the operating system to upgrade my hardware and spend a few hours on the phone with the support of different groups... I ventured out of my own again and got the game to work...

  I had to completely uninstall the game and then re - download it again and reinstall it from scratch...

  Once I did the game loaded and play a lot.

• Alienware Alpha lighting area questions

  Hi all

  Start a week or two ago I had a problem with lighting effects on my Alienware Alpha. When I first put it on the end of function bit turns in a few seconds they turn off. The only way have to stay on is to start on the office and go in the software AlienFX and change the color and click on apply / save. Everyone knows this? I tried to reinstall the command center by using the download page of the Alpha pilot, but has nothing good.

  Thank you

  For those who have a similar problem, I have this problem. I found a post on the forums Alienware arena, indicating that there is a problem with the PC things standby in console mode. Basically everything what I had to do was to start in console mode, select 'Sleep' in the power options, wait a few seconds and to wake up the PC. My lights work fine now.

• ALienware Alpha - controller question

  I just got my Alienware Alpha from Friday, rather than go through the console mode with the controller provided instead, I plugged a mouse & keyboard & entered into mode of office since the beginning. Now my 360 controller acts as a mouse & controller at the same time. I looked around & apparently because I jumped mode console, I can not disable the mouse for the controller option. I tried to not uninstall Alpha Command Center because apparently it worked for someone else, I had no luck however.

  Thank you, in advance.

  Hello

  I did something similar when I arrived at Alpha.  Since then, I came to the conclusion that it is not a good idea to remove the Alpha user interface (or all alpha software), but it is a good compromise.

  I suggest that you re-install Center Alpha UI/order - do not know if this is possible - otherwise you will need to restore your Alpha to factory settings and start over (I had to do that!).  I hope it won't be too bad as you only Friday.

  You will need to connect to the interface user Alpha a couple of times and make updates.  There are at least two updates that fixes the controller and also graphic problems too.  You can only do these updates with the Alpha user interface, so it is important to keep for other updates.

  Now, on to the solution.  This allows to boot directly to Windows rather than load the interface user of Alpha.

  Log in desktop mode.

  -Open a window (command) in now the Windows key and press R

  -In the run box type: netplwiz

  - This opens a window of parameters of user accounts.  Check the box "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer".

  -Click OK.

  Once you have done what the above, your alpha will start as a normal Windows PC, so you can choose which user account to log (Alpha UI or Windows desktop), and it will default to the last used.  The startup time is much faster, but it will ask you to enter your password as a normal PC Windows.

  The only problem I found is that, after that a Windows update the controller no longer works.  I suspect that this is because Windows is a full stop and restart after the update instead of using the quick start that she normally does.  All you need to do in this case is to connect to the interface user Alpha once again, and then disconnect you, then back to your Windows account.  This will fix it until the next Windows update in this case, you simply do the same thing again!

  I hope this helps.  I've been running with this configuration for a few months and it worked fine.

  Hi all I bought an Alienware Alpha back in June however I do not have to receive the games delivered with the system when I added my Steam login to the first installation.  I suspect that the machine has been used by the shop staff JBHiFi I bought it and they may have bought the keys innappropriately.  How can I correct this situation?

• (Redirected) A few questions about Alienware Alpha, didn't know where to ask sorry.

  Hi, I was watching and thinking about buying an alienware alpha, but I had a few 1 questions that I can't find any info on. So could someone please help.

  1st question and that is my main I need to know, can I run Ventrilo on it and play all the games at the same time or would I still need a laptop to use ventrilo to chat with friends?

  2nd video of question 1, I saw said that I could run non-steam game, is it true? I will mainly play steam games, but I want to just make sure I could still run games as League of legends and perhaps The Elder Scrolls online because he is going to play soon from what I've heard.

  3rd question and sorry about that one, but I don't know much about computers so I need to ask. I see that $700 and $850 versions have higher processors makes this mean for games? Also they have more big disks hard, it's just the space right storage? Sorry for this question, that I just want to ask before you buy

  Please any info on these 3 questions would be useful :) Thanks in advance.

• Alienware X 51 R2 vs Alienware Alpha

  Just wondering what is the best, mid-range graphics, games experince, speed, performance, etc..

  Looking at the high side of range of these two machines; However, the Alpha with i7 is much cheaper than the X 51 R2. Although, I'm not too sure about the graphics card being the alpha generation custom Vin 2 GB chip, I think. A few tips will be appreciated.

  Thank you.

  Here, the Alpha is reviewed, but only compared to the current game consoles (read into that what you want).

  http://www.IGN.com/articles/2014/10/03/hands-on-with-the-Alienware-alpha-2

  and while I don't buy into the idea of any "form over function"... the x 51 is closer to a true desktop computer because it can use a one-size-fits-all graphics card (power lower ones, but still).

  I don't have an Alpha or x 51... but I have a Windows 7 based desktop XBMC equipped with an Intel quad-core, 8 GB ram, and nice AMD GPU connected via HDMI enough develop 1080 p/HD - 7.1 HomeTheater system... fully capable Windows game.

• (Redirected) Alienware alpha bugs

  I recently purchased the Alienware alpha;

  I noticed a few bugs with the user of Alpha interface I'd like to be addressed.

  First of all, there is no option to specify a user name "" when choosing a WiFi network.  Maximum space to provide a password for the user.  It forces me to use the windows interface to connect to the network and then start steam through the Office for windows 8 (completely defeat the purpose of the UI alpha)

  Secondly, there are many problems with a wired xbox 360 controller iin switching between UI alpha and the situation as a whole steam UI.  Entering the steam UI after the launch through the alpha of the user interface with a wire of the selection process controller goes crazy and appears as if the game keys or the joystick is pressed constantly. Therefore, it is not possible to make all the selections through the intention.

  Third, (my biggest problem with the UI alpha).  When you enter the desktop mode, I have to select my user account (choice between the 'Alpha' usergroup and my admin user), and then enter a password. Instead, it would be more convenient when you select the desktop through the user interface of alpha mode, the system should go directly to the desktop.

  I appreciate that my comments go to the alpha development team to address these deficiencies.  Thank you

• Alienware Alpha HDMI in keyboard shortcut does not

  Hello

  Just my Alpha last week and the shortcut key for the HDMI in function via the Alienware command center does not work. The PC simply does not recognize the shortcut key, if it is the default value (CTRL + SHIFT + H) or a custom one.

  Now, the HDMI devices I plugged in are all supported. I know there is a button that switches to HDMI, but I can't go back to the PC without having to disconnect the hdmi cable.

  I have i7 with Windows 10 Alpha.

  I'd love any help I can get, because this feature is something that I could use really often.

  Thank you!

  Hello

  Thanks for confirming this. Try reinstalling the Alienware Command Center application and the HiveMind Interface software. First of all uninstall from the programs and features list, restart the system and install the first command center, then the HiveMind software (reboot the system if she invites you to do after installation). After doing this, try the shortcut key again to confirm if it works.
