I was running integrated graphics on a laptop at that time and now I'm on a HD 6570 first time budget rig.
If anything they are probably aware that as time goes on more and more will have upgraded to something new by now that can handle harsher requirements. I believe that's the only time they have done this.īased on the lack of surveys and such since then I'm going to assume they are satisfied with their findings from that time (or maybe they still ask every new user for hardware? I think that was temporary but I may be wrong).

Of course, everyone realizes that this game's value is tightly dependent on having as large of a community as possible.Įvery user that signed up for the game during closed beta was required (might not have been REQUIRED, it's been a while but i believe it was) to allow MWO to download and run an application that gathered their hardware information (You could look at the file prior to it being sent, if you wanted to make sure no personal information was gathered) so they could see what the majority of their interested player base was running with at the time. I haven't played for very long, but has MWO ever taken a hardware survey like many other games? It might be useful to see the distribution of what players use what. Thanks for working to keep this game available to as large an audience as possible! I would like to add that while "integrated graphics chips are less-than-ideal environments for running an increasingly large portion of modern games," the integrated graphics of today are not the same as integrated graphics of the past, as indicated by Intel's HD graphics and AMD's A-Series. If all is well and the planets are aligned, you should be able to run MW:O. Replace the entire contents of the file with the information contained within the spoiler tag below and save the file. Locate the attributes.xml file in your \Users\"your username"\Saved Games\MechWarrior Online\Profiles\"your pilot name" folder. To implement these settings, follow these instructions: We can't guarantee that future updates won't outpace the performance abilities of lower-end graphic cards or systems. Please note that this should only be considered a temporary workaround for running MW:O in its current state. It won’t be pretty, but at the very least they should get you back in the game. These attributes will force the lowest possible settings for your MW:O client. Included in this post you will find the contents of an attributes.xml geared specifically toward these environments. Recently, MW:O users running these integrated graphics chips have started experiencing persistent crashes upon entering MechLab, and have been unable to access their in-game Settings in order to reduce their graphical overload and increase their chances of functionally running the game. While we do what we can to ensure continued playability for as wide a range as systems as possible with each new update, integrated graphics chips are less-than-ideal environments for running an increasingly large portion of modern games. As we continue to roll out updates and new content for MW:O there will be occasions when these changes may affect the stability or performance of the game on certain systems.
