Fix for Intel HD 3000?
Does anyone have a fix as the gpu doesnt meet the lowest requirement? I dont care if it runs bad, I just want the game to work.

Now IMO its just plain stupid to restrict one from starting the game because it isnt supported, and you paid for the damn game like wtf.

How many fps do you get?
depending on how many units there are, around 10-50 fps. I just test my mods with my crappy laptop so that doesnt really matter to me

"test my mods". Unless you're training 100+ units no mod will impact the performance, besides crashing

It won't people need to understand this, if you want Halo on PC be ready to drop 50 bucks or so for H1 and H2. That's taking into account tax and non-free shipping. You can also pay 0 dollars and get a iso of H2V and just hit "activate later" and HCE has the portable version of custom edition.

Simply put Halo is pretty much the only thing that moves microsoft's consoles anymore so it's either going to be on their new console or be windows 10 exclusive to push people onto their ♥♥♥♥.

Then again people don't care, HPC, HCE and H2V are "old" and "mods are icky" even when mods like Project Cartographer do nothing more than revive H2V's online functionality ontop of some things like better framerate amongst other things.

I assume you are getting the following message: "The detected graphics adapter doesn’t support the minimal requirements." If that's the case, it means the graphics adapter says it doesn't support DirectX 11, and we can't initialize the rendering system.

its wierd that the lowest settings still requires dx11 tho. Are there any startup commands that forces dx10?

No, the game requires DX11.

Like Andrew said game is built on the DX11 rendering engine. Just because you set it to low specs won't make it run on a older engine. In fact it'd have to have DX10 included in it which is obviously absent.

Your setup on your profile says you own a GTX 1070. Why are you trying to run it on a Intel HD 3000? lol

Probably plugged his video output in his motherboard. Or lied
Abaddon May 9, 2017 @ 6:07am 
Or it's because his laptop is running IntelHD Graphics. And this is about his laptop
CoffeeSquirel May 13, 2017 @ 6:45am

at least you can get yours to play the intro. My HWDE opens to a black screen then c2d. Halo Wars 2 from windows 10 store runs fine @60fps on my rig: intel core i3 @ 4.7GHz, nvidia geforce gtx740 and 32gb DDR3L (low-voltage RAM)

well i'm running on a Microsoft Surface 3 Tablet 128GB Intel Atom x7-Z8700 X4 1.6GHz 4gb, win10 Pro and i can play it on low setting although it does get a little jumpy in big fights
