When will Intel cards be supported?

[kerwyn]

As I said above... When will Intel cards be supported?

[Azazael]

Thats what i want to know too. Will Intel chip sets ever be supported? I would like to know if Hello Games are even going to consider Intel. One Intel user managed to get NMS actully working on his Intel HD 4400. It doesnt look the best but they are playing NMS on a Intel chipset.

The second video he made was confirming they they ARE using the chipset and its not him trolling. How is this possible and why can't the rest of us play too? Please Hello Games address this and let the rest of us play

(1:35 is where he brings up his intel graphic panel)

Yeah whats the deal with Intel video cards?

[Azazael]

This one Intel user can play. It just blows my mind how he done it

Guys the experimental build now detects if you have intel and closes the game. No luck running this in the future I guess...

Settup:
i5-3230M 2,60GHz
8,00 GB RAM
Intel HD 4000

Wit this I only got 20 seconds into the star loading sreen before crashing...

Emperor Trump same thing happens to me. I make and develop games I make sure they support AMD and Intel. If you ask me Hello Games has made a very stupid and inconsiderate decision. I don't understand why even make a game that not everybody can play that reduces income for the game and over all people liking the company. The majority of PC players use at least some form of Intel. If anything make it playable for the majority then make the minority wait. It is a stupid decision to make the majority wait.

They say they are working on it now. You can look on the official thread for the experimental beta. Also keep in mind that the guy supposedly playing with an intel card could have an integrated intel originally with a dedicated card added to his computer for gaming.

The problem is Intel Graphics cards not intel Motherboard Chipsets.

Their Grahics cards are weak and only meant for playing Solataire, Angry Birds etc and normal Desktop software not latest PC Games that need a Gaming GPU ie Nvidia or AMD.

The Majority of PC Gamers will have a dedicated Nvidia or AMD GPU

This.

I kind of have to laugh when iGPU people demand these high end games to run flawlessly (or at all) on their setups. Sorry, I do laugh... its not out of disrespect, its just out of pure dumbfoundery.

Intel does not make video cards.

They add circuitry "on die" to let the CPU generate video output, taking over the functions that perviously were done by separate devices and circuits.

This is great if you need a cheap & low power consuming device like in a laptop, since you can eliminate a costly and power hungry item.

But for games it is a BIG step backward in technology. The "Intel Integrated" devices lack many things that are standard on gaming cards including dedicated higher speed memory, particle processors, shaders, etc.

Intel devices are ok for casual games, but impose rather severe restrictions on program code for higher spec'd machines...

That said Hello games say they will be trying to support Intel devices.

Would love for Hello Games to target an OSX build or an Intel chipset Windows build to support us Mac users running virtualization (e.g., Parallels).

Thanks....I don't have to say that.

Like owning a Prius, racing against supercars, then complaining you can't win. You're on the track, which is what was offered. Only way you can win is to upgrade. Now it looks like they won't even let you on the track. Sucks, but sometimes the truth does. You're not the only one and many of us including myself have been there many times before. 6 builds in the last 15 years for me, and some game that just came out caused it all to happen. 6 builds in 15 is low compared to some others who probably had 10 builds in the same time frame. Luckily the consoles taking over of the gaming industry slowed that down a bit. The last 10 years only 3 builds were needed to keep up.

Due to the development process many of the minimal requirements advertised during betas are way off by the end of the process. But mainly it's just sloppy porting and the lack of anyone on the team having enough knowlegde to fix the issues.

Lies I can run Overwatch ez on my laptop with an intel card.

[sinistar]

Come on people, Intel HD is not a card!!! The GFX chipset is part of your CPU!
You demand way too much.

[TheOklahomie]

I find it funny that no one is pointing out that at no point did Hello games say they wouldn't support all graphics cards.
