i got this error but i have updated my video driver. any fixes for it?

Developer

Hello, and thank you for coming to us with this question!
Before we can really troubleshoot, would you be able to give us the specs of your computer? CPU, GPU, operating system, memory, things like that. One of the most important details, though, is the GPU you're using. We'll need to know the exact make and model of it.

CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4790S CPU @ 3.20Ghz

GPU: Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600

Operating System: 64-Bit

Memory: 8.0 GB DDR3

I dont know if this is bad or decent. it can run other games without problems

Developer

I'll add a bit more context as the main developer:

Sadly that CPU's graphical unit does not support vulkan at all, and since our game uses that as the rendering device, it cannot run unfortunately. You can try a workaround:

Create a shortcut for the game's EXE file.

Right click on the shortcut, go to properties, and edit the "Target" field by including the following line at the very end of it:

--rendering-driver opengl3


This should start up the game using OpenGL 3 instead of vulkan. It's not ideal, and the visuals might look off, but it will run.

already did that as the error says but no luck. its fine though thanks for helping

Developer

Ahh, yep, that'll do it. We aren't currently able to support integrated graphics (Intel HD Graphics 4600), unfortunately. A fix could be found, but we haven't stumbled upon it yet. 

oh alright thats fine

Hello, Reaper, and thanks for your question!
Currently, I'm unaware of an exact release date for our next update. However, as soon as we're satisfied with the amount of content we have ready to be pushed out, we'll let everyone know! As always, Patrons will get it earlier than people who aren't pledged to us, but it will 100% be free to access, within a bit of time after that!

Greetings, we're planning to release a few testbuilds in the next couple of weeks, mainly dealing with Input remapping and the AI!
