Welcome to the forum, @Wickedqueen85 :slight_smile:

I donā€™t see anything remarkable in the log, will have to wait for the devs to see if they have a hint of the reason :confused:

Have you tried editing (or deleting, it will be recreated after running again the game) your user_settings.json file? Sometimes it has wrong values or itā€™s corrupted and some people have trouble starting the game on fullscreen, or with one of the modes (32bit / 64bit).

Could you post your system specs (CPU, RAM, OSā€¦)?

Shot in the darkā€¦since i dont know for sure. But i dont think a 2020m processor has a intel HD 3000 that reads as the minimum requirements of the gameā€¦think that was before HD3000 or about the same time intel 3000 was released.

Itā€™s more than enough, thanks. :slight_smile:

As for what @Psyduck says, if it fits the minimum, youā€™d probably have to run it on lowest graphic settings.

Celeron and Pentium have Intel HD, while Core i3 and above have either HD 2000 or HD 3000. HD Graphics 2000 and 3000 include hardware video encoding and HD postprocessing effects.

So thatā€™s likely your issue :frowning: sorry but you need new hardware to play the game.

on a positive note you can upgrade your CPU cheap and get the needed HD3000 integrated graphics card.

hereā€™s a list of CPUā€™s that fits in your computerā€¦but unless you know an home geek to change it for you (or if you feel brave ) a shop will be pretty expensiveā€¦and you then have to consider if its worth upgrading on.

notice grafics chip on the right side, dont get another ā€œintel HDā€ needs to be at least HD3000.

thank you for that info i am not up in technology in that way so i have made a mistake buying it

10

should let the devs give their opinion as well. But im fairly positive thatā€™s the issue.

11

yeah i will wait, i am just disappointed i have watch a youtube series for a while now with this game and was looking forward to actually giving it a go myself

@Wickedqueen85 Well, your system specs are indeed at the lowest end of what we recommend to run the game ā€“ but it shouldnā€™t be crashing outright.

Please double-check that your video drivers are updated. The best way to do this is to go directly to Intelā€™s site and use the autodetection tool there:

http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/detect.html

(Simply running Windows update doesnā€™t always take care of things, alas.)

Hope this helps!

From the looks of this thread ( High Quality Graphics for HD 4000 Graphics? ) seems that the drivers of @Wickedqueen85 might be already in their latest version. :sweat:

so you dont break any necks i spoke to @Wickedqueen85 in private message some time agoā€¦ and seems she removed some adware or malware and think she got the game running.

im sure she will give an update some point :slight_smile:
