It would have been nice to know this before I paid the 30 bucks and downloaded. Heading to the Wiki and trying to figure out how to salvage this download. My son has been begging for weeks and I finally broke down and downloaded only for the graphics to not be supported :(

Intel HD Graphics 4000
Laptop - 1366 x 768
OS - Windows 7
Alpha version - 194


Playable with 10 loaded characters, more than that and the fps drops to the point where it becomes hard to fight.

Edit: Not playable in maps with many loaded items, if you just want to test the combat system in a plain map, Intel HD Graphics 4000 will work, for pretty much anything else i don't recommend it for playing Overgrowth.

What in the world is an intell card? It keeps popping up with an error that says "Attempting to use an Intel graphics card. If you have a laptop with multiple graphics cards, you will get better results by enabling the NVIDIA or ATI card." Could you please tell me how to fix that. And soon. Send it to this email.

You can get a full refund from Wolfire. They're cool like that.

The error message you didn't understand tells you the problem. Your computer (likely a laptop) has a built-in graphics card, made by Intel, in its motherboard. It is good enough to run Windows. It isn't good enough to run games. To run games, laptops need a second, more powerful graphics card. Since Overgrowth hasn't been released, it doesn't exist in the list of "this program requires a better graphics card, don't try to run it with the Intel card". So you will have to enable the NVidia or Ati (they are the two big graphics card manufacturers) graphics card, usually by right-clicking on the Overgrowth shortcut and choosing something like "Use a graphic card - Use the more powerful NVidia graphics card".

You're also rude and acting like a spoiled kid. I understand you're annoyed, but that's no excuse to try to act tough and threatening. The post you quoted from pbc03 was polite and well written even though his situation was much less comfortable.

I don't wan't to sound like a troll, but there are differences between Error messages and Warning messages. This message you get is not an error message, it is warning message, and it is telling you that some computers have 2 graphics cards and the game can't switch between those two by itself. You should do this manually yourself.

Works on sapphire 7750 no lag unless you fight more than one person at a time (this is most likley because the game is yet to be optomized.).
Windows 7 overgrowth alpha 196
It does a health 40-45 fps when overlooking the whole map from a high point.50 fps when just running around dips to 30 when jumping certain times but it is a perfect experience.
