can my laptop run this?
« on: August 10, 2022, 10:56:33 AM »

Returning player here. I have since started university and got a "school" laptop instead of a gaming laptop. Here is the link to which one it is.

https://www.lenovo.com/ca/en/p/laptops/ideapad/ideapad-300/ideapad-3i-gen-6-(15-inch-intel)/len101i0003?orgRef=https%253A%252F%252Fwww.google.com%252F

I should note that it is the i3 model, 2.10 GHz,  2 cores. 8gb ram, and I believe a crappy integrated 1gb gpu.
There will be tons of mods being used. I just wanted to know if this thing can even run it with many, many mods before I get everything downloaded and set up. Thanks in advance guys!

Intel drivers just don't play well with Java.

Hmm, I feel like that might be a bit of a stretch - something was going wrong with your specific setup, for sure, but I don't think this is a general problem.

That said, though, with those specs vanilla seems like it would be ok, but "tons of mods" seems likely to be a problem. You'd have to find where the breaking point is just by experimenting.

Alright, thanks for the info guys! I will try to just mod in factions I will use and not flood the game with new stuff just to have it in the game lol.
