Question

[Trian]

Will there be a future patch for people who have intel integrated video chips?  Or is too much work?  Or just not possible? Sorry if this ahs been answered somewhere else but I couldn't find them.  And I don't think it'd take long for a yes or no answer lol.

Integrated cards are generally too weak to play a lot of modern games.  They're meant for low level graphics work such as basic video and office stuff.  Whats the specs on it?

[Trian]

I know Intel suck but it's not too bad.  I can play quite a bit of games rather easily,  I think the only reason why I can't play this mod is because it doesn't have open GL if I remember correctly.

It's an Intel G31/G33
   


Video RAM    320.0 MB

Run a cpuz and gpuz report for me.  That'll give me a clearer picture.  Not ALL integrated cards are completely incapable.  They're just not nearly as good as dedicated video cards.  Thew newer integrated cards though are much more competent, and even if you adjust for time/technology, they're much better than the old ones.

Okay,  here it is.

Cpuid didn't show anything.

CPUZ shows cpu info though   Looks like it only has 8 megs of dedicated vram.  Which means you're going to have a very hard time loading any textures even for old games.  It's going to attempt to borrow from your total system ram, and that method is not optimized for graphics processing.  Sorry.  You really need to buy an actual dedicated video card.

That's odd.  I can play games like Dawn of War(( With Medium graphics without any lag )) Half-Life,  ESforces with no problems.  Heroes of Might and Magic 5 no problems on high graphics.  It's why I thought it was an open GL problem.  I can play Hellgate London without problems too. 

[KarrdeKNR]

No idea then.  If you can play Hellgate London, it should be working.  I don't think the team is using any new OpenGL specifications that haven't been around for a long time.

[Trian]

Yea,  that's just it.  From what I read my chip has problem running Open GL.  I have problems with games like Second Life for instance.  I know this is has been said before but the game just stops loading once it hits paraphrase or something like that.  Which has been a graphics problem.  That was the original part of my question is if it could ever be made to work without Open GL or if it would be way too much work or never happen.

[KarrdeKNR]

Then that's probably it. :\
