Is Thrive 0.4.2 workable on an i5 integrated Intel graphics card?

The old information about which intel graphics work, don’t apply to 0.4.2, because we changed graphics engines.

So far it seems that you need super new intel hd graphics if you want the game to start. Even when it starts you probably get really bad FPS.

You can read here about all the things related to the intel startup problems:

If you have a laptop with hybrid graphics you should configure thrive to start with the Nvidia GPU.
Other than that we might soon have a test build to see if we can configure the graphics engine to work with intel. If that doesn’t work then we’ll need a bunch of help from the graphics engine developers to make the game work on intel.
