Playing below minimum requirements
So I downloaded planet coaster and was wondering if there was a way to run it without the minimum graphics card. I have downloaded but when I click play, nothing happens, it doesn't even try to run. I am fairly new to this kind of stuff, I was just wondering if I could get it to play even though I am below minimum requirements. (I don't really care about FPS or graphics quality I just want to play.)

Depends how below you are, some games there is some leeway, but planet coaster can be quite demanding, especially with large parks and loads of people.

But when you click start the game should a least try to start up I believe.

So basically I have enough of most things apart from the graphics card I think. I only have an integrated intel I5.
Also does DirectX 11 come automatically with windows 10?

As your below minimum requirements is possible it won't even run regardless of settings, depending on your actual hardware. What are your Specs?

I'd also recommend posting in the games forum as your morelikely to get relevant help from those that own the game.

Integrated videochips are way below the minimum requirements and will not be able to render the game at an enjoyable speed.

And yes, Windows 10 does support DirectX11 and has it pre-installed.

The graphics unit has to support that too, not just Windows.

Technically, the Intel HD videochips do support DX11, but they generally lack the performance to run most DX11 titles efficiently.

So I have:
12 GB ram (3x4gb)
Intel i5 6200U 2.30ghz, 2400 MHz,

Yeah I don't really know what I am doing is this the correct stuff?
Thx

When I say efficiently that implies that it would still run right?

Your CPU does not meet the requirements either.

The game is rather demanding, the game, if it runs, will be a very heavy lagfest.

Your videochip does way worse by the way:

The minimum GTX 560 is almost three times faster.

Is there a way to get the game to run at all? I am happy with 5 FPS at this point.
Cathulhu Jul 5, 2017 @ 2:01am 
With your current specs, no. It's just too weak.

Ffs. So how expensive a computer do you need to buy to be able to run this game?
My computer was like £400 + extra ram

If it would be a desktop, about the same money. With a laptop, about twice as much.

Ok thanks everyone. I have learnt a lot in this hour of endless depression.
