Genuinely Devestated. [Fixed sorta?]

[TheTypingDragon]

I can't play the game. Full stop.
My computer is old, the graphics driver isn't good enough. I went to download newer driver, it won't let me because HP has specific drivers it wants me to download instead. I go to download HP drivers, and they don't exist for Windows 11. It's too late for me to revert to Windows 10 so there's absolutely nothing I can do, and considering that Windows 11 has been out for almost 3 full years now, I have no hope HP will release drivers for my computer in Windows 11 anytime soon. Trying to manually force install the needed driver via device manager and a zip file version of the driver isn't possible either, because Intel doesn't provide a zip option for the needed driver.
Until I have the money for a brand new computer, I will NEVER be able to play this game, and I am crushed.

unfortunately that is the issue with the fast developing tech world. not a criticism of the game

That's unfortunate. Sounds like your computer is pretty ancient based on what you've got. It has an integrated Intel GPU? Those tend to be pretty weak. What model HP do you have, out of curiosity?

Do you have a fast internet connection? It's a bit extreme for just this one game, but there are some services like Maximum Settings where you get a full cloud PC that you can download games to and stream from. A little tech savvy is required, but not very much. It can be good for playing games that you either can't run or that don't run well for you.

You could also make a thread begging the dev to add it to Nvidia's GeForce Now streaming service which is far simpler to use and is just pretty much launch and go.

I knew this issue would come up for some people when I launched the demo and got a message that my graphics card doesn't support some features.
I have a 1070. It's not bad, but it's old by now. I can run Tiny Glade fine... for now.
No Man's Sky kept getting updated over the years and a game that used to run okay for me now struggles on my PC, in large part due to the GPU being pretty old.

Best advice is honestly to wait for a good discount on the Steam Deck and by then, we might have proper gamepad support. Steam Decks are currently the best middle-ground for budget PC gaming.

This is a pretty good suggestion too. Or saving up even more to buy a more modern, low end gaming laptop (or building a desktop) if one is so inclined.

I have a HP Pavilion x360 - 14m-cd0003dx to be extremely specific. I feel like my biggest problem is I made the mistake of "upgrading" to Windows 11 when trying to fix an entirely other tech issue. And while I might try it anyway, my internet is almost definitely not fast enough to run a cloud PC.

Also sorry if I'm being rude or something by being upset about this, I know there's nothing the devs can do about it I was just upset about having no way to play I game I was really looking forward to.

I'm afraid that even if the driver worked, Tiny Glade would still run at roughly 10 frames per second (or less) because the laptop's UHD Graphics 620 is below our minimum hardware requirements :<

But to the point of Novantico, we are getting a GeForce NOW release soon, so maybe that will be a viable alternative for you <3

Here's the driver for windows 11 family from intel, no promises it will work but this is vendor agnostic.

Beat me to the punch on the first bit. Was just about to say oof, those are some rough specs. They'd definitely be in for a bad time if it could run at all.

Great to hear you guys are working on the GeForce Now thing though! Not that I need it but out of curiosity and for their sake, how long do you think the turnaround on something like that would be, roughly?

if all goes well, it should be there in a few days.

Amazing to hear! I came here to say I did find a workaround to force my driver to manually update by downloading a different application that will unzip the exe file without running it, so I CAN technically play the game now, and it's very nice, but like you predicted it's quite slow. I'll be very excited to try out GeForce Now when you get it working!

Also ha ha yeah this laptop is quite old. I actually replaced it three years ago with a laptop that had much better specs, but that computer's keyboard split apart at the hinge after a little over a year and there was no fixing it. The used replacement I bought suffered the exact same problem after the same amount of time. This laptop from 2018 might be struggling in almost every regard and hasn't been able to function without being plugged in since 2021 but it's still kicking somehow! Thank god I hung onto it as a spare I do not have the money for a new one at the moment.

... and it's already there. You guys are awesome, and as soon as I have fifteen dollars they are for you.

But to give credit where it's due, it's the NVIDIA folks handling the game's launch on GFN :D
