Can´t run the game, error about video memory.

[monstercamarada]

When I try to run the game, a error message appears, it says: "Out of video memory trying to allocate a rendering resource. Make sure your video card has the minimun required memory, try lowering the resolution and/or closing other applications that are running. Exiting...". After I click "ok" the game closes.

My laptop is actually old, and very incapable of running heavy applications ( but, as I think, a cardgame is not so heavy to run ). My system information are:
- A Intel Celeron 1005M, that have: 1.90 Ghz and a integrated video card.
- 4gb of RAM memory
- DirectX 11
- Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit

The video card informations are ( acording to DxDiag ):

Card name: Intel(R) HD Graphics
Manufacturer: Intel Corporation
Chip type: Intel(R) HD Graphics Family
DAC type: Internal
Device Key: Enum\PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_0156&SUBSYS_064B1025&REV_09
Display Memory: 1760 MB
Dedicated Memory: 128 MB
Shared Memory: 1632 MB
Current Mode: 1366 x 768 (32 bit) (60Hz)

Any suggestion about what to do? I really want to play this game.
Thank you very much in advance.

The game , in its current build , does not support integrated graphics . It will in the future I am sure, but right now it simply does not. Some get away with it, some do not. I am sorry to bring the bad news but at least you know. This information comes from both the KARDS SUPPORT web site and a personal confirmation from the LEAD DEV to me .

I asked him just to make sure that this was correct, and he confirmed this.

Sorry my friend, but should be able to down the road a ways.

Oh... sad, very sad. But, thank you a lot for replying, anxiously waiting the game to support integrated graphics.

And, it is always comforting to see people compromised with a game and supporting others, thanks again. :)

No problem, I was happy to answer you, but hated to tell you what the answer was. Takes little time/effort to type a few words when I know the answer. Especially in this case as its not a very well known thing at this point. Also, it is the right thing to do, the net and the World be a better place if we took 2-3 minutes a day and helped someone else instead of thinking only of ourselves.

I also should tell you that Kards uses the UE 4 engine and actually has some pretty high PC reqs , VERY HIGH for a CCG type game. Your machine , if it could or soon can run Kards, will be pushed to the very limits of its capabilities most assuredly . So keep a eye on it when you play, especially the Temps.

My liquid cooled PC was hitting GPU temps of 150 F or so in the current build . This will be some what eased when they do the optimization pass on it, but for older machines will still not help as much as the users would like.

Cheers ! .... and keep the faith , maybe soon you will be able to play...

Hello there Stone Dog, I came to this old discussion to ask if you have any news about the game supporting integrated graphics. I think you could help me.
I am still anxiously waiting to play this game.

Thank you very much in advance.

Here is the deal , as I know right now , you can try and run it on a integrated GPU , and there are many whom actually do this and it does work for them. MASSIVE BUT .................................


You are taking all risk of overheating on yourself, as it is currently not optimized for this, optimization will be, as it always tends to be in any games development , the LAST thing we get before a LIVE LAUNCH....

IF you use a laptop with integrated GPU ,and do wish to "TRY" ,do not sit on on anything that can trap heat... bed covers , even your lap, but play on a table or desktop like space with a clean space around the laptop so plenty of air can get to it.

You can possibly find many apps that you can use to also monitor you heat levels.. cut down the graphics to medium or low.... and play in windowed mode , one thats NOT your max setting for Resolution.

If these settings do ok, , you might try setting the res a little bit higher.. but just keep your eyes, or mind at least, on potential heat build-up .

I know of no one that has had a critical GPU Chernobyl type meltdown , to this point anyway. With the games engine being UE 4 , and not Unity , that reduces the heat risk.. but it is there regardless.

Let me know if you have any more questions, and you can post to me here, or Message me in Steam or on my profile if you need to do so. I will touch base with you as time, life, and my children allow ...


Cheers

I am happy to hear this. About the overheating of my crap notebook, thanks for the advice, and I am myself quite familiar with the shenanigans to make things not explode my notebook, because i need to use them in almost every game I play ;-;

So... I started the game twice and the same message that started this topic appears. I don´t know if my notebook is too bad to run the game, what I find strange, or if it is other problem. I politely ask you if you can help me, please.

Thank you for replying

Cheers

OK looking into it

Ok, thank you!

Ok, so here is the reality of your situation. I am actually impressed your notebook even boots KARDS , I say this due to the TWO things I see that are causing you problems(As far as I can see)....

1. Your GPU is integrated and that is not supported , but alone not a huge issue in many cases.....but when you add in the second thing.......

2. You really do not have the system RAM to run KARDS with any real surety at all. THIS is whats causes you to freeze up.

Here is best thing I can tell you to stop the freezes... FIRST -do all the steps I mentioned in my previous post to you (See above post)....

SECOND-KILL EVERY NON CRITICAL BACKGROUND PROCESS YOU CAN... this is very crucial for you to do.

THIRD- I would log out of KARDS and back in after EVERY MATCH I PLAY if I were you. You are basically running clean out of RAM and thats what is causing your freeze ups I suspect, doing this will possibly help free that RAM you use in a match back up.

FOURTH- Have at least 20% of your notebooks internal storage (Hard Drive Space) free and unused at all times, and keep your HD defragged often. This will also help you a little, as it will allow for your OS to maximize your Virtual RAM/Page File its has at its disposal for when your system RAM gets low.

Hello, thank you so much for the advices and the helping you are giving me! I wish you the best. It is rare such attention to other person's problems like you have. Thanks again.

Sorry for the delay to reply, I am not using my notebook now, It isn't just mine, but of my family.

About what I can do to run the game, I will try them other time, the biggest problem is that the game don't even start, so some of the solutions I can't apply.

If I encouter another type of problem I you contact you for help.

[Stonedog]

There is another thing recently worked out that you can try. DELETE the SAVE folder in this file path....

%userprofile%\AppData\Local\kards\Saved\

its a HIDDEN file , so first go to your C drive root directory and make sure where it says VIEW in the upper right part of that window you have "SHOW HIDDEN" Checked ... then delete the save file at the end of the path I listed above , see if that might help.
