hmmm

[mellow mist]

can this run PZ?

[broken kite]

maybe?

min reqs list quad core 2.77 ghz that's a 2.6 ghz dual core, you could try your luck but the gpu is probably fine

all the support checks out

[spark belfry]

it should be possible

pz is low poly pixels

zombies can get laggy sometimes

[mellow mist]

i mean a few months ago i couldn't run it

nvm not a few months ago

an entire year ago

[spark belfry]

it crashes at game loading?

[mellow mist]

you'd have to check an older thread of mine called 'Anger'

[spark belfry]

well tech support told you you are cooked

[mellow mist]

but i'm able to play now

which shouldn't be possible

[spark belfry]

is it because of the compatibility pack

[mellow mist]

let me see if i have it installed

not that i can see

[real gale]

Dont have this installed?

Or did you put any "opengl" files in your game install folder?

[fringe field]

Speaking of my own experience.
Your CPU performance might be slightly better than mine (low fps, no throttling tho)
Your GPU will suffer a lot
Your game will probably crash a lot or fail to load when the savefile size is too big (considering you have the same amount of RAM as me and additionally your GPU might drain even more of it than mine)
It might work, but not guaranteed it will be even playable

I had laptop with HD 4000 and it barely ran old games. PZ is not very GPU dependant, but it requires a ton of VRAM to properly work without constant lagging

And you dont have dedicated RAM for your textures in GPU (since its not even GPU, its an iGPU. Thus it will load directly into your RAM

And to me 8GB of RAM + 2GB VRAM wasnt enough to play B42 for long time

[mellow mist]

This is the only two things i see when i search OpenGL in my files

[real gale]

So, there is no issue with the game or?

[mellow mist]

not at all

which is strange cuz i don't remember downloading opengl

[fringe field]

What the hell is RollupFix? I have it as well

[mellow mist]

dunno

[fringe field]

I guess its a "All in one" patch for windows

It have literally everything. I wonder if you have "AMD" there as well

[mellow mist]

i do

[fringe field]

Because its reasonable to me since my GPU is AMD

lol, then it is

[mellow mist]

but i don't have AMD stuff

[fringe field]

Yes. You have the folders for all sorts of stuff for all sorts of equipments. That's literally all the possible fixes for all possible machines in this folder.

I dont think those files are directly installed in your system (not executing at all). Thus you can't rely on them

So yeah, I cant advice to install what Beard linked here (because I have no experience in installing anything except some rudimentary redists), but it seems necessary in your case

[mellow mist]

do i really need it?

[fringe field]

idk, try without it

[mellow mist]

i'm able to play without it

[fringe field]

If you notice any visual bugs, artifacts, weird performance etc - let us know

Playing Portal 2 without -vulkan parameter on the old GPU renders no dynamic lighting. Something similar can occur here, where some shaders might fail

[mellow mist]

the hell is a shader

[fringe field]

Basically any visualFX that requires calculations in realtime

Particles, shadows, lighting, overlays etc etc

[mellow mist]

like rain and fog

[fringe field]

yes

Its a bit more complicated than this, but its the simplest description of it

[mellow mist]

welp i shall play for now and if anything weird happens i'll come back

[fringe field]

Not to be mistaken with Minecraft shaders btw.

[mellow mist]

everything's fine
