Will Intel HD 4000 Graphics run the game?

[Junoh]

Can anybody confirm whether or not it will run the game? I know that it says that Integrated graphics aren't supported but I've been able to play other games with it that I technically wasn't supposed to be able to play.

Hi Junoh -

So, from what I've heard from players, the answer is yes. There was just a post on this earlier today, in fact:

the game runs perfectly fine on my awful laptop that has an i5 processor and integreted intel graphics (though I may have turned the graphics down a bit when I first started the game I don't remember).

Still, I'm not going to officially recommend it because I think action games play best at a fast framerate. So it's your call. If you do, make sure to tune down all the graphics options to the lowest settings.

It will just be until I can afford my new GPU anyways. Maybe a month at most.

My specs are: i5-2450M CPU @ 2.50Ghz, 4GB RAM, 64Bit Win7 OS, Intel 4000 Graphics

And I run the game well with these settings: 1280x720 (with full screen option on using 17inch screen), Anti-Aliasing 2, Terrain, Texture and Shadow quality all set to Low.

Basically you can run the game, but it will need to be with everything set to the lowest.
If you're not hardcore into graphics it still looks pretty reasonable on the lowest settings.

TLDR: To answer your question yes it's playable with Intel 4000, but on the lowest settings.

Thanks for the breakdown, Andrew.

If you guys are interested, there's a guy called SniperBNA who has been releasing unofficial drivers for Intel 4000 for some time and it makes quite a big difference.

There's a whole community of gamers at Teknogods who focus on gaming with the Intel 4000 series. People are frequently putting up threads for games they tested using the Royal BNA driver.

As with all things unofficial, nobody can 100% guarantee it won't harm your hardware, but I've been using his drivers since 2012 (lost access to my gaming PC for a few months) and I've been very happy with them. I even managed to play and finish Dishonored on my laptop using his driver, albeit at low settings and with the resolution at 800x600.
