Will it run SHIII?
 

Here is my laptop specs, will it run SHIII?

Windows 7 32 Bit
2.2 Ghz duo core processor
128 mb Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Chipset/integrated video
4 gigs of ddr3 memory
125 gig 5400 RPM hard drive

The integrated video is the thing that concerns me. Has anyone played SHIII with this chipset? Thanks!

It will more than run SHIII. Happy hunting :DL

The core specs will have no problem, and the GFX card itself will push enough polygons, it's just wether it has the correct shader models...

I've got the same integrated graphics card and yes, SH3 works. However, this card has no AA (I have yet to try Ctrl-PgUp in game) and sometimes the water has strange colours on the side of the screen. Have just downloaded latest driver but have not tested yet.

Tried again last night. It certainly works, though with these issues:

- no AA (using Shift-PgUp/PgDn helps a bit)
- no ship reflections on the water
- water sometimes a weird shade
- a discoloured line on the left side of the screen, a bit like lens flare from the sun. This is not noticable in periscope/uzo/bino view)

So as long as you don't expect top-notch graphics, it's absolutely playable.

Cheers,

Be sure to turn down particle density in options, and clean out you RAM with AlacrityPC or GameBooster.
Lite Harbor mod with also help.
