I posted this to c/piracy, as lemmy does not have a CrackSupport equivalent.
This is the Fitgirl Repacks release.
My specs
- GPU: Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000
- CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz
- RAM: 16 GB DDR3
- OS: Windows 10 Pro 10.0.19045 Build 19045
My settings
Default Low preset, with Antialiasing turned off for performance.
I thought it was my graphics ""card"" but I looked it up online and others seem to be able to run it fine.
Any suggestions?
If you really want to make Skyrim playable on an HD Graphics card, you might have to go lower than even the low settings (like by editing config files, for example).
Many people have made recommendations on what to change in videos and posts, you should look them up. IIRC there was even a mod for low-spec Skyrim.
This is really a hardware limitation. If you are in a desktop you should add a graphics to it. But if it is a laptop unfortunately there is nothing you can do.
Disable ssao and reduce shadow distance. Also get a potato mod. You might find skyrim legendary edition to be more bearable fyi
I ended up installing the original Skyrim, and it works fine. All hail the mighty Razor 1911.
