    You should really purchase a proper AMD or Nvidia add-on card. Many good models exist that are quite cheap these days.
    IF somehow you do not have the money/resources to do this, you should not be using a PC at all.

    NOTE: OKay, if on a laptop, there is usually no way to change or add a new GPU.
    Correct course of action is sell or throw away this one, and purchase new laptop if you can, or if not, purchase a desktop PC - those are usually cheaper than laptops.

    But if you cannot do that - just stick to your gaming console (if any), or your phone/tablet maybe.

    Pfft yup, very funny! Congrats on completely missing the point of my post that the game is buggy and unfinished lol. Of course I'm going to eventually get a dedicated graphics card!! I already said I was going to in the previous post!

    The point was to have to get one just to stop a weird dark screen bug ONLY in addon pack content for a game that runs perfectly fine on onboard graphics is ridiculous. It's not like the game is crashing, it's just addon missions going unplayably dark lol! Such a silly little thing just reeks of unfinished work and a bug that could have been easily fixed had Limbic been given a few more weeks for patching before abandoning ship and jumping to Heroes 7 (which also ended up being unfinished and abandoned).

    Also I suspect that when I finally do spend the money and get a powerful new graphics card then all the other leftover bugs people have been reporting in this thread (from people with 3D cards) that I have NOT been getting will appear instead lol. eg I'll be left with a choice between the darkened map bug on the onboard graphics or those black screen bugs with the 3D dedicated graphics card. What a fun choice that'll be and you can't use the "your machine doesn't meet their minimum requirements" excuse then can ya lol!

    Anyway there's only one way to find out so I'll get to it eventually when I'm done with my retro gaming activities.

    Game is fine. I played almost to the end, I think just 1-2 levels of Blood unfinished.
    Had NO major bugs I could not skip.
    (Using Nvidia and AMD too - on 2 separate PCs)
