Running ED on intel iris

[c44448]

Did anyone manage to get ED running on a recent core i series internal iris chip? It should have more power than the minimum requirements but it crashes at planet generation. its not even trying to put load on it, you see 30% usage at cashing shaders, than back to 0% and it crashes.

Legacy might work. The Iris XE is slower than the minimum spec though...

I seriously doubt Iris has the grunt for Live/Odyssey.

I'm running Live/Odyssey on a 2022 ASUS S15 laptop with the following:

• Windows 11 Home, 10.0.22631
  
• 11th Gen Intel Core i7-1165G7 @ 2.80 GHz
  
• Iris Xe
  
• 16 GB RAM
  
• C: is 475 GB
  
• Running Steam and ED thru a Thunderbolt port to a Kensington hub where they live on a 1 TB Tube T31 USB SSD.

From clicking "play" in Steam to sitting in the cockpit (incl. login, continue, live, shaders and whatnot) is 2:23.
Start to Frontier login: 0:16
Start to Play: 0:23
Start to opening cinematic: 1:23
Start to in-cockpit: 2:23

Going EVA on foot (disembark) is 13 seconds.
Deploying the SRV is 23 seconds.

The only "real" issue I've had is looking for bacterium. My graphics settings are nearly all at low, and when exiting glide and coming in close I usually have to hover at about 70 m AGL and just give the surface about 15 seconds to fully render. Then I just have to move slow/medium to find other sample sites. Far less of an issue with other flora.

Happy to provide additional answers.

How did you manage to start the game, for me it crashes every time at generating planets. The starting finematics work fine.
Did you change anithing since you first started the game?

It's only been a couple of weeks. I started with the basic - so probably Horizons, then purchased & added Odyssey a few days later.

Memory is hazy, but first launch was tedious. Loading the shaders was probably a 2-3 minute ordeal, and it may very well have crapped out with the galaxy. If anything, the only thing I did was a power off restart.

No idea how much difference it makes, running Steam as an administrator.

I'm going to start it up again and see if that triggers any memories.

I don't recall anything other than the above. There's nothing really to change until you get in.

I tryed to start the game 5 times, at the 6th time it just started without crashing. Good thing that i did nothing diffrent but now it just works. At min settings its somewhat playable. In a few hours i will test if i can get some damage to the titan core.

Good to hear. Restart, and restart... the PC version of slapping the dashboard.

It's integrated graphics, I'm assuming? It could be your RAM. If it's your RAM, the generating planets could be preloading the RAM with assets. In that case, you might want Elite: Dangerous to be the only program you're running actively. You should probably also change Windows settings to make it less pretty, so you have more resources for the games you're trying to run.

You can also change the resolution to something lower than your screen res (e.g. 1200 x 900) and/or set supersampling to 0.5, and/or enable FSR. (I used to run Odyssey on a spare PC with a GTX970 after it launched, and I pulled all the tricks to make it work on planet surfaces.)

to summ it up if your using integrated grafics an intel core form 2019 can handle it if it has intel iris grafics. Just start the game a few times eventually it will work, on minimum settings and 720p it runs good enought to take part in a titan attack without to much of a problem.

5-6x attempts starting it @c44448 sounds soul-crushing. Like @GimpyKnee, i7 Iris Xe for months & EDO loads every single time. Perhaps try;

EDO Launcher > settings cog > options > untick cache check and untick virtual cache.

Launch EDO > Ctrl+Shft+Esc > close Watchdog64 crash reporter.

I give it ~2 minutes & don't switch back to EDO until I hear the menu audio > max cooling fans > Good to fly o7

[NB - settings cog is not a gold button but 'connected as' dropdown.]

D'oh. I should look for that. My keyboard really starts getting warm under my palm. I should make sure the fans are in overdrive.
