Intel HD chipsets support

[Leo3ABP]

My PC could not handle the anticipation of this game release and decided to die on me last night. After a few hours with multimeter in hand and forehead scratching, I managed to "pinpoint" problem to either GPU, powerboard (yeah, OEM built PC with custom-built components) or even MoBo.
Long story short, I managed to get PC working again with GPU removed, which means that I am gonna be stuck with integrated intel HD 4600 for quite a while (whatever my reasons might be).
So I wonder how GPU heavy this game is? From the looks of it I would say not so much, so I assume it mostly CPU intensive, so maybe there is a chance that game will run on intel HD with acceptable framerate and resolution?

UPDATE:
I probably should've done this update a sooner but anyway.

Game works on intel HD4600. With minimal settings it is able to push between 22-31 FPS in 1920x1080 resolution, at least in early game (both on empty map and presettled one), but I did not played too far into the game and did not built any sort of massive industrial complexes with lots of buildings etc, so possibly it will get worse in later game.

I did experienced regular crashes after 40-50 minutes of playing, but that was a couple patches ago and might have changed (haven't played since).


So yeah, if you are absolutely desperate to join a communist party or simply used to playing on low settings then game will work for you fine, at least in the early stages.

Yep i don't think the integrated intel gpu will cut it, i think you'll even get an Error message, saying that it can't start due to Dx 11 reasons.

But Intel HD 4600 supports Dx11. Honestly, I think that this integrated GPU will handle this game (if optimized).

Pardon me, yeah it both utilizes Dx 11 Hw Tessellation etc, but i wasn't clear enough didn't mean that :) On a buddy's PC with the same chipset as OP, we had a similar issue that we spent hours on and finally found that even though Dx 11 support was given, it just threw 1 error after another for whatever Reason.

It may be able to run it, but very slowly at that. It all depends on the optimisation. I used to play Mafia 2 with a 4600, and it did a superb job (50fps on high settings), but mafia 2 was very well optimised. So yeah :/ Good luck though

I dont think it will be able play on any settings on the integrated graphics card.. must be gaming GPU.. even low end..

It runs on Intel HD 4600, and FSP is not so slow, I guess that I could have around 25 – 30 fps, anyway the game is not stable and often crash. In most cases during save game or handle with construction (positioning or planning).
Actually, I am quite curious what happen fist:
1) I will stop playing this game
2) This issue will be solved
3) I will buy new GTX 1060 :-D
Anyway, it works, but in this case, I would not recommended to play it. Just make railway across half map is horror with 15 crashes and a lot of saves in case, that you are satisfied with with part of railway.

My dinosaur of a graphics card is playing the game OK, frame rate is just a bit slow. It may need dedicated graphics but doesn't ask a ton of the actual graphics card.
