Seems to be the similar problem to everyone else. I've tried the solutions here viewtopic.php?f=71&t=47593 but nothing's worked! dxdiag is below. I'm hoping it's some obscure issue that I can easily fix but realistically it's probably my specs are too low... Thank you!!
Looks to me like that laptop has old an Intel HD Graphics 3000 chip. I doubt that it will be able to run PA at all. Especially during the alpha. Try it on a system with a real video card. And preferably not a laptop. Laptops are bad for games unless you spend an awful lot of money on one.
Thanks that's what I thought! It plays most things on a low setting, which I'm fine with but I'm saving up for a decent gaming rig and should have it in the next month or so. Ah well!
When building a new PC I find that the guides on Toms Hardware are very helpful when trying to get the most bang for my buck when picking out CPUs and graphics cards.
