Blurry in the math puzzles

[deft gorge]

So Ive been having this issue where the math puzzles are so blurry that I can't even see what shapes they are. Also, my pc is not for gaming. Hence, I don't have a gpu in there. Are there any ways I can fix it in settings? I know I should probs get a gaming pc but due to some issues I can't rn. So I would like to ask for some good suggestions. That would be appreciated. Thanks.

if you are trying to run the game on a really low end device without any dedicated gpu, it won't be able to load the textures. That's why the games usually have a minimum hardware requirement.

but my pc has a cpu of i7 or it’s better to have a gpu?

[lapis thicket]

yes it is better basicly gpu is better for render hmm i can recommend to bump up the setting in front of the doors unt,il you can see the puzzle then reset them

[candid musk]

game is gpu demanding, not cpu. You cannot load textures on cpu

[deft gorge]

alright man. I got you

[grave pawn]

Its should work on a CPU as long your PC meets the lowest requirement it should run (see link if you want to double-check the list)
The texture thing might be a bug, since I think you and I have the same problem; do you also have the 'potato faces'? If so when did you experience the problem? Was it after the first patch or was it right from the start?

If it's any consolation, there are only 15 possible combinations for each door, so you could brute force it

[deft gorge]

‘Potato faces’? I dont think so but it’s so blurry when it comes to the math puzzles in the door. I just cant see the shapes at all. I just bought the game on my pc few days ago and was planning to stream but oh well..

[deft gorge]

wdym? And how do you brute force it? Sorry if I’m not a cybersecurity person. I have no idea how to do that

[candid musk]

brute force means trying all possible combinations. The normal triangle (?) has the values 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 and the inverted triangle (??) have 1, 3, 5, 7, 9. So you can start but interacting with the normal triangle once which will set it to 0. Now go to the inverted triangle and interact with it once to set it to 1. Check if the door is opened. If not, interact with inverted triangle again to set it to 3 and check the door again and so on. So, with normal set to 0, you have checked all the inverted triangles values, if none open the door, try setting the normal triangle to 2. and repeat. You'll have a set of 0, ( 1, 3, 5, 7, 9); 2, ( 1, 3, 5, 7, 9); 4, ( 1, 3, 5, 7, 9); 6, ( 1, 3, 5, 7, 9); 8, ( 1, 3, 5, 7, 9); This covers all the possible answers without even solving the puzzle. One will open the door

Oh so in the case of me don’t have a gpu in my laptop, I can try using that method. Alright cool!

[candid musk]

Okay if you don't have potato face, that means somehow your textures are loading? this is how the potato graphics looks like btw

[deft gorge]

Ohhh yeah I actually do…

[candid musk]

Yeah that happens when there is no graphics textures. That just a basic model

[deft gorge]

Then is there any ways I can fix that? Or I still have to have a gpu?

[candid musk]

not without a gpu, sadly. Right now, your game is running on integrated gpu that is not powerful enough to run it. CPUs work is only to process, compute, and present the visuals processed by the gpu

[deft gorge]

It happened to me when i first started the game and have played for a while @grave pawn

[deft gorge]

Alright. Then ig I will have to stream on xbox then

[candid musk]

that would be better

idk if you know about it but nvidia has geforce now. It is a cloud gaming thing. I'm not sure if it is available where you are but check that out if you are interested

[deft gorge]

How does that work?

[candid musk]

basically gives you a top of the line gpu through a cloud service. And you can run the games on any device as it is rendered on their cloud. You just need internet

https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce-now/

[deft gorge]

So I can run the game without a gpu and use that service?

[candid musk]

yes

[deft gorge]

Wait i think I downloaded that before. I have it on my laptop

[candid musk]

you can with everything on max. Idk if it suports HL right now but it should be

[candid musk]

have you tried it ?

[deft gorge]

Not yet. Im not sure how tho

Do i have to activate the service or something?

[candid musk]

well yeah, you have to get a membership to use the services

but those are cheaper compared to buying a gpu. Also you can check on youtube about how to set it up. learn about how it works and see if you like it. I don't use it cause i have a gpu but i would consider it if i didn't

[deft gorge]

alr. Thanks for the tips mate

[candid musk]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_QFDR5voH8 this is an old video but will give you an idea

[deft gorge]

Ok I’ll try that

[candid musk]

and this is some dude playing hogwarts legacy with geforce now https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=di9jhzHzdDk

[deft gorge]

oh wow

[candid musk]

also this is another cloud gaming service called boosteroid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wq0iItG9T98

Not recommended for FPS games or games where quick reaction is necessary though, just a heads up

[candid musk]

yeah i know

[lucid crown]

They might not

[candid musk]

i doubt she plays any fps games lol

[lucid crown]

Shouldnt just doubt it, consider all pro's and cons before recommending a product. And FPS makes up most of the game market nowadays.

[candid musk]

Bruh you think she plays fps games without gpu, rn? I get it that you are making a good point but for this situation it is alright.

[lucid crown]

Fortnite, Pubg, Warzone, Etc can all run on low specced devices.

Most fps games are not demanding.

[candid musk]

👍

[deft gorge]

I’m a she and I usually play games on Xbox. The reason I want to play it on pc is I want to stream the game.

[candid musk]

Apologies, corrected

[deft gorge]

np

[lucid crown]

U can stream on xbox
