I also found this

#

And buffer storage... How can i disable it

Hi,

So the first thing... it looks like you are using an integrated GPU which is below the minimum requirements for the game. This iGPU is going to struggle and it would be better to play the game on a system that has a dedicated GPU that meets the minimum requirements for the game.

These are the relative benchmarks for your iGPU vs minimum vs recommended: https://www.videocardbenchmark.net/compare/4265vs2152vs3548/Intel-Iris-Xe-vs-GeForce-GTX-660-vs-GeForce-GTX-1060

It looks like you are also using an older driver for that iGPU. There is a newer driver available. I would recommend updating to the newest driver package and when you do make sure to choose the clean install option.
There should be an option to Execute a clean install when installing the new drivers. If not you can use a driver cleaner such as DDU. This part is important as a standard update often won't fix faulty drivers.

It sounds domb but i have an older laptop with amd. And the drivers are from 2019... And it doesnt flicker

#

Dumb*

The Intel website for the Arc & Iris show newer drivers but that is for Windows 10/11. It looks like you might be on Window 8. Microsoft stopped support for that over a year ago so. That being said the log file is limited.
Can you drop a Dxdiag report here please?

frosty dove
#

I dont know why it says 8

mental osprey
#

That's what I mean by the log file being limited. A dxdiag report will help

frosty dove
#

Ok

#

I have english now. So till 6 pm i wont be home

frosty dove
mental osprey
#

Ok. Well the issue is most likely faulty GPU drivers and you will need to do a clean install to fix them.

frosty dove
mental osprey
#

The only way to try and fix this is to at least do some troubleshooting. The drivers are the number 1 issue so this is the first step.

frosty dove
#

Ok. When i got the laptop. I neded to reinstall the system and all drivers

#

Because they were not installed corectly

mental osprey
#

Drivers can become faulty at any time. You will need to reinstall them with a full clean install of the GPU drivers and then we can go from there.

#

Also drop me that Dxdiag report when you can

frosty dove
#

Ok

#

I can only tell the first page whic contains the specs if needed

mental osprey
#

I will need the full Dxdiag report. You can save all and then drop it here

I got the same kind of z-fighting of overlaying reforestation and extraction lines. RTX 4090 and all settings at maximum

#

The problem doesn't really bother me. I just saw this one and wanted to say that I see the same

mental osprey
#

OK thanks. When you next update your GPU drivers choose custom installation then check the box for clean installation in GeForce Experience and see if it fixes your issue

sudden tartan
#

I did that last time but will do it again. I'm using the nvidia app beta right now, not experience anymore. Hopefully this still allows a clean install. Otherwise I'm going to use a driver removal tool

mental osprey
#

Great. Let us know how you get on

mental osprey
sudden tartan
#

Good. I will check that then next time, they release a new driver

frosty dove
#

Ash i got home

#

here is the diag

#

@mental osprey (sorry for ping)

mental osprey
#

It's ok you don't need to ping me I get notified anyway 😉

According to your DxDiag your GPU driver version is 31.101.5333

#

The first thing to do is a clean install to the latest drivers. As I mentioned earlier the clean install is important as a regular install won't fix them if the old drivers are faulty

#

It doesn't look like Lenovo have updated their driver support yet. So if you don't want to install that update you can still remove the old drivers and reinstall them

#

That should hopefully fix your issue, however the integrated GPU on that system is still way below the minimum spec for the game.

frosty dove
#

ok

#

let me see

frosty dove
#

install time

mental osprey
#

Can you explain more what you are seeing. What dll is not loading?

#

And what do you mean by "They are not actually"?

frosty dove
#

cause i tried other opengl games and its not like in foundation.

#

Its going crazy

#

It delets the drivers all drivers. And then clean reinstall

#

So many refreshes

#

The resolution is changing from 480p to 4k ans 1080p+:/

#

Now it needs a restart

#

The touchscreen still works

#

And Lenovo amart expierence goes crazy

#

Install finished restarting

#

And now i have intel arc control

#

Woah

#

Its way cooler than amds one

#

Now lets try

#

Also here is the dll

#

Its an engine error i think

#

The problem is still persisting

#

Its still flickering

#

😦

#

PlacingBuildingAssets erorr

#

And i also got this

#

Cant load class

mental osprey
# frosty dove

You will see a number of errors in the log file like that. These errors are normal, you can ignore them.

frosty dove
#

but the problem its still persisting

#

ill probably have to play with that

#

wait

#

i forgot to show yall something

#

Its not the screen flickering

#

But the building itself

mental osprey
#

Yes I understand, and this is usually down to GPU driver issues. Sadly your integrated GPU and it's drivers are most likely the issue. The iGPU doesn't meet the minimum requirements.

frosty dove
#

This kind of flickering

frosty dove
#

So i must buy an egpu

#

F***

#

I think ill play on my older laptop

mental osprey
#

The game requires a dedicated GPU. The minimum specifications for the game are:
requires a 64-bit processor and operating system
processor: 3 Ghz Dual-Core Processor
memory: 4 Gb RAM
graphics: Gtx 660 / R7 370 - 3 Gb Video Memory
additional notes: Requires Opengl 4.3

frosty dove
#

Wait

#

I can install opengl

frosty dove
#

You can on amd

mental osprey
#

I am going to check more about the buffer storage.
And yes you might be able to allocate more system memory but the game really requires dedicated VRAM as per the minimum requirements.

frosty dove
#

That igpu had 512mb

#

I can try either feom bios or regedit

#

I think

#

Thanks anyways

#

From*

mental osprey
#

Yes you can usually change this in the BIOS but again it's no real replacement for dedicated VRAM sadly

frosty dove
#

Im in bios

#

It has virtualization enabled

#

VM software

#

Hyperthreading

#

It doesnt have increase vram

mental osprey
#

There might be an option for Frame buffer size in the BIOS but at this point you are probably better looking on Lenovo forums for answers to that issue

#

Ultimately the RAM is shared and you might not be able to change things. I'm not sure how much further I can help due to the low system specs

frosty dove
#

I dont think thats low

mental osprey
#

By low I mean lower than the minimum requirements to run the game as per the games requirments which can be seen on Steam & GOG

frosty dove
#

Oh

#

I can try to install lenovo latest buos update

#

But the only thing is.

#

I rember how the screen is went off for 5 minytes

#

And i also remebered that i had a option to update bios

mental osprey
#

You can try it but for the best experience you really are going to need a system with a dedicated GPU. The integrated GPU is going to struggle with the game and you will likely have further issues, the Intel iGPU just isn't powerful enough plus it doesn't have the required VRAM. It really isn't designed for PC gaming

frosty dove
#

Bios updated

#

Now updating intel infrastructure

#

Management

frosty dove
#

Ok changed vram

#

Restarting

#

It still shows 128mb

#

But its 2gb vram

#

Now

#

Lets see

#

If its gonna fix the problem

#

@mental osprey how can i thank

#

You

#

Now its not flickering

#

You are so good

#

Thanks!!!!!!

#

Its not flickering anymore

#

Lets see

#

If i open task manager it flickers

#

But if i dont it doesnt

#

I dont know how to thank you

#

Siuuuuu

#

Shees

#

I will need to delete all files ro fix it but hey. It isnt persisting

#

When i out it 4096mb of memory

#

Its not even laging or flickering at all

#

Update: The problem is fixed momentary. But it doesnt lag anymore. And flicker screen. Those lines meh i dint care

#

But thanks anyways

mental osprey
#

I'm glad things are better. I'm not sure which lines you mean though. When you click a building you will see lines as a highlight. It sounds like it might be working as intended. Your earlier video was a bit shaky and I couldn't see what you were having issues with. It would be easier to see with a direct video using OBS or another video tool directly on the PC.

....anyway it sounds like things have improved which is great!

frosty dove
#

:D. But one more thing. I hope foundation will get better optimization in the full release. I didnt judge a lot because its early acces so. I hope yhis will get fixed

mental osprey
#

The minimum requirements won't reduce from where they are now. The game is always going to need a dedicated GPU for the best experience. At the end of the day there is only so much optimisation that can be done 🙂

frosty dove
#

I still think the game is more AMD optimized

#

Even tho its weaker than Intel
