    This is pretty normal behavior in response to any game published by an AAA studio.

    Intel is trying to break into the home GPU market, and you’re surprised that they’re trying to make sure a game that has a lot of interest is able to be run on their GPU?

    People who buy or recommend GPUs expect to be able to use them to run any software that relies upon a GPU. It’s already a bad look for Intel that this is a problem. The article says you can’t even launch the game at the moment.

    Imagine if Word or Excel or Chrome failed to launch because of the GPU you had installed?

        They always do. The main reason graphics drivers are so fucking huge is that they contain tons of game specific patches. Nvidia has what they call “game-ready” updates which are supposed to increase performance of popular games or patch specific bugs.

        You’re surprised that companies released updated graphics drivers to coincide with a tent pole release?

        No offence but are you new to PC gaming?

        Why? They do that pretty much with every major release, especially for demanding titles. People tend to build PCs specifically for a specific game, so the major GPU vendors want to fill that high end need.
