garak0410: I went to Intel’s Website and downloaded the latest Intel HD 5000 drivers. Though not the official sanctioned drivers for the Surface Pro 3 by Microsoft, it resolved the problem and Text Murphy Tesla Effect plays now…
I'm not sure what "officially sanctioned drivers by Microsoft" are...;)....but the Windows drivers that Microsoft supplies with each OS are just "placeholder" drivers meant to allow you to at least be able to boot and install the OS. After that, it pays to visit the web site of the OEM who manufactures the particular device in your computer you are concerned with and obtain the latest Windows drivers from them, generally. With desktops this is always the best rule. With laptops, it depends. Laptops often employ non-standard devices (made to spec by respective OEMs for the laptop maker) and require custom drivers that are not made available by the device OEM to the general public because they only work on those specific laptops.
The Surface3 is a bit of a different horse altogether, and it's nice to see that at least for the gpu Microsoft hasn't futzed around with custom designs that won't run with the device OEM's standard retail Windows drivers releases. That's a plus in the S3's favor, imo, since you don't have to wait on Microsoft to deliver newer drivers to you but can use them whenever Intel releases them.
It's at least possible, if you are allowing Microsoft to update your drivers automatically (not really a good thing to do, imo), that you got updated to a newer Microsoft driver for your GPU that didn't like this game. Check your your update status and set it to "let me know when updates are available, but let me choose when to install them"--can't hurt, and in the future you'll know instantly if Microsoft installs a driver you'd rather not keep.
In regards to your comment on streaming, if you have a much more powerful PC in the house to stream from, with presumably a larger monitor and far more capable gpu (Intel isn't known for making game-friendly gpus), why would you bother streaming at all--why not just fire up the game on the more powerful box and play it there? Just curious...;)
