First, you have to figure out how Vista can pretend to be Windows 7 or 8.

Hi

 

Sorry for my English, i write from Poland

 

Pentium Haswell failed in Far Cry 4... the same thing like in Dragon Age...

but clever user tested game on i5 with closed 2 cores... and game whas playable... framerate >60

 

i think this is blocade... because the game could work with Pentium Haswell on high details with no problem.

 

I am user with 2-cores Pentium Haswell, and i want buy your game Bioware... but you threat me like a Moron.

Please take off this blocade... there are many user with Pentium want to buy your game!

 

I think money from user with i5 is the same like money from user with Pentium.

You created games to gamers... not to AMD, INTEL Frown

This solution of yours works if your CPU has an integrated Intel video card with it .

Anyways im rly dispointed i cant run the game . They said if u can run dragon age 2 then u can run inqusition (even on low at least ) . My gfx card is rly good but my CPU sucks but if i knew i couldnt run it at least i could have prepaired and saved up money to upgrade pc(cuz for an upgrade i need go change motherboard/cpu and prolly power supply  ) , now i cant anymore so if there will no fix till february i cant play this game (the only one that i waited for this year) and that makes me rly sad .

Kinda wierd that games with higher requirments i can run at medium (Unity/Shadow of mordor) but this i cant .Oh well from an happy day things went down the hill rly fast !

How do I do that or is this a joke?

 

I mean I get it, they said you need a quad core so obviously dual core is not good but I thought there would be crashes or the game wouldn't run smoothly and I was like "well I can probably live with that" but I did not expect the game just to not start at all. This has really been runing my day. I don't mean to be dramatic but my life hasn't been going so well lately and this was my anchor, what I was really looking forward too and now all it is is a black screen and hell, that's pretty metaphoric.

Didn't work for me... I had a few problems installing the driver (it said "folder doesn't contain compatible software driver" but I ended up being able to install it) and now the game still doesn't run. Black screen for 1 sec and it crashes

I have a quad core and the game constantly crashes on me. I meet the minimum requirements and almost reach the recommended settings and I was hoping this would fix my game but I can't use the Intel driver since I guess it's for dual cores. =(

Game constantly crashes for me too, making it not really playable. With the "set affinity" hack (or maybe I was just lucky) I got as far as meeting the first party, but can't play really.
