Does this game support Intel HD yet?
You know, I love this game. I really do. But I still am baffled by something. You developers don't want to support the integrated GPU out there that is EASILY on the market right now???? REALLY???? Last time I tried the game on a laptop that could have EASILY run this game on a laptop with Intel HD, it was crashing out on me. And I won't re-download it on this brand new laptop until I know FOR SURE that I can run this game on this laptop WITHUOT crashing, nor will I recommend any game developed by you guys at Paradox, ESPECIALLY C:S. I don't get it-when I got this game, I was playing on a Toshiba that had an integrated AMD Radeon R5 in it and 4GB memory. Then I upgraded to a Dell with 8GB RAM and a 4th gen Intel i5 and Intel HD that could have run circles around that gimpy R5 (because AMD may be great at making processor but DAMN should have had ATI work on the GPUs) AND I WAS CRASHING. WHY? Again, I WILL NOT RECOMMEND THIS GAME TO ANYONE UNTIL I KNOW IT WILL WORK FOR EVERYONE.

So can I run it on this laptop? And if not, when will those of us who can't neccessarily afford to get a laptop with a discrete card?

So you can get an idea of what I got here, I'm writing this on an ASUS ultrabook that has an Intel i5-7200U, 12GB RAM, Intel HD Graphics 650, and a 1TB HDD. Specs that would make my Toshiba I mentioned above-which at the time could handle a lot-look like a snail compared to this laptop.

So one last time. Can I play the game yet?

No, requirements are black and white, you didn't read them before bying, that's your own fault. Nobody gives a damn about you, nobody cares, stop whining and git gud.

You want to talk to me about not reading when in an earlier comment after my OP I said when I bought this game AFTER IT CAME OUT I was on a laptop that DID support it. Oh, and when I also said I got it to work just now, and that my issue was due to too much stuff from the Workshop. Yeah, you just lost all cred on that one and with the fact that I have no idea what the ♥♥♥♥ you just said (education helps-perhaps you should get your GED, because I know kindergateners that spell better than you). Have a nice day, and don't let the door hit you on the way out, moron.

ん~ I have no idea why it happens there·

I play the game with Intel HD Graphics 4600 from my Intel Core i7-4790K CPU just fine· As long as the graphic options are at low/minimum, of course·

Nice, how big have you gotten your city (population and unlocked tiles) so far?

How many workshop items are subscribed?

How long did it take you to get this big and what chakllenges did you have reaching it as far as you did?

Is it still growing?

I was able to get 9-tiles unlocked and about 6 of those tiles full. I think I was around 180k population.

It was definitely a challenge. I was at 720p on lowest settings. any lower and it looked too ugly for my taste.

I was using an i3-4370 (3.7 GHz) and HD 4400 graphics and 16GB ram, no workshop at all.

It took a very long time as it would get out of balance and lag badly. Then I'd fix it and get a little further. Then I lost the city on a windows reinstall as I didn't realize the game didn't put the saved games in the games folder and instead opted for using a hidden appdata folder.
Nice questions·

My biggest city had 190k inhabitants, I guess? I don't remember, my memory is awful· That one I lost by mod problems, and it was in my old PC, which had a Core 2 Quad Q6600, with NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT GPU·

Circa 60· Some useful buildings, like bigger school, multi-platform stations· The rest are all mods that make the game as realistic as possible, that affects playability, like Network Extensions, Traffic++, a terrain painter, another one that changes population hold at buildings and resource consumption, workarounds, etc etc~

Of course, more time than the vanilla game· The mods I use you can see at my favorites, they make the game much more realistic, but harder to maintain, more costly, but much more rewarding·

I remember well that it was always having demand for more RCI, but I didn't even grow it further by pure laziness and lack of inspiration· I was focusing more on transport·

I always use 81 tiles· I appreciate to make all the map as my city's territory· I can make a small suburb at the border here, I can make a campus there, when I feel like, I might start a new city spread along the border, play around and try to simulate how a conurbated town works like·

My resolution is 1360×768· It's been years that I desire a Full HD monitor· I couln't buy it yet· Well, I could, but when I lost my old PC by brownouts, I priorized that my new PC would have the best CPU around to commence· The rest, I would buy with time, without hurry·

My old PC was a retail one, with a modest GPU· It had 4 GB of RAM· My actual has 8 GB·

Well, even when I was with my old PC, it feels like I can play however I want· With a small town or a bigger city full of highrises, I don't feel a considerable difference in matters of performance· This detail is glorious about Cities: Skylines, I appreciate it a lot· It isn't like that in SimCity, just saying for comparison·

Why are you referencing your old computer? This is about Intel HD limits.

Haven't you had a chance to play a new game on your new PC?
MetalSlime Nov 6, 2016 @ 2:02pm

Well, I didn't even think why· But I know that the old 9800 GT is at par with Intel HD Graphics 4600 in performance, so it's still valid·

If I said about my old PC, that means I have a newer one nowadays···

No, it is not valid at all. You are comparing totally different video devices. Your posts are confusing the thread and may confuse people. Maybe edit your posts so that it states you are using a 9800GT.

Do you have any posts about the HD 4600?

This guy is gonna pop a blood vessel soon, please somebody mail him a GPU. :steamsad:

No need-I dug a bit deeper and actually found out that not only was it a few of my mods causing the loading issues, but were ALSO contributing to a few error messages I got when I COULD get in-and Traffic++ was a factor for BOTH for some reason.
MarkJohnson Nov 7, 2016 @ 11:44am 
Yeah, Traffic++ seems to always be a problem.

Glad you got it figfured out.
