You can try take the game back to the store, or contact Blizzard for a refund if you bought digitally - but angry or not if your video isn't capable, and you can't upgrade - you won't be able to play. They have set a standard as a minimum spec, and below that the game won't play (it's much simpler to try support the game in a usable fashion on a huge range of supported hardware - never mind trying to deal with people complaining that the game is jerky, slow or crashing because they are playing it on slower equipment). I'm not Blizzard, I don't speak for them, but I can tell you that there won't be a patch or a workaround to allow you to play a videogame on hardware that is too slow. Building a videogame is always a trade-off, the fancier you make the graphics, the more horsepower is required to run it.people won't buy a game that doesn't look good, but they can't play it if the specs are higher than their equipment. ![]() First on the the forums in a long time its to try and solve a problem I imagine an astronimical number of players are having or are about to have come midnight. Best Games For Mobile Intel(r) 4 Series Express Chipset Familyīoth sides are flawed the consumer shouldn't suffer for whatever bs this fiasco is. It's just quite infuriating that Blizz says its Intel's fault and then they say no no its Blizz's fault. I'm not the type to rage but I know from experience that games can run fine on the ones so called 'unsupported'. As in, it tried, and it failed, due to your video card not supporting REQUIRED features. The only time the game will physically not let you launch the game (normally you can bypass the video card warning by pressing ESC) is if it literally CANNOT launch. But of course, there is no sub fee so they already have our money, therefore they can block us from logging on without losing a dime. Its absolutely none of their business if i play a game i purchased with a crappy video card. They need to stop the auto-shutdown if it tells you that your video card isn't good enough. 06:30 PMPosted by i am REALLY angry that blizzard is preventing us from logging onto the game we purchased. They're not alienating anyone, they simply have to draw a line, and unfortunately for you, you ended up on the wrong side of that line this time. If your system can be upgraded, a $100 video card would make it work. Most PC games require far more powerful video cards than this (Skyrim, Deus Ex: HR, etc). In fact, this game (along with all Blizzard games) is know to be VERY forgiving on the requirements. You don't need a GTX 690 to play this game. You can't work around 6 years of development. Trust me I'd love to have an nVidia GTX 690 but I don't have the cash. It just doesn't make sense that they would alienate the very playerbase they keep by making their games very broad in graphical experience. 06:18 PMPosted by I understand wow being old but starcraft 2 is not and that game looks pretty incredible. The graphics in it are nearly an order of magnitude smaller than Diablo 3. And on top of that, the chipset was a budget chipset, not top of the line by any means. That may have been when you bought the laptop, but the chipset it is running is much older. I'd really like a workaround if anyone knows of one. Wow on high is less intensive than diablo on the lowest? Something wrong with that. I know its getting up there but that's ridiculous. 06:13 PMPosted by This laptop is 3years old. Perhaps a workaround or something.ĭiablo 3 was the tipping point for getting the annual pass and now I can't even enjoy it. An explanation beyond 'You're effed' would be nice. How can this blizz title not support a graphical chipset that is supported by every other game they make? It just doesn't make sense to me. Wow at a med-high and starcraft on low-med. This is a fine argument, except that.why is it suddenly the chipset is unsupported when I can play in the Mop beta, WoW live, Starcraft II just fine. ![]()
