Alright /v/, can you help me out here?
I wanted to try playing Stardew Valley, but I can't. every time I run it, my laptop displays this message, honestly, its a shitty laptop, but this game doesn't seem really demanding, so I think its kinda bullshit that it won't run.
I found out it needs 256 MB of Video Ram, and my laptop has (according to Can you RUN it), 128 MB.
So fear of souding like a retard, is there any way of changing this without getting a new laptop or changing any hardware on my current one?

Nope. You hit the nail on the head: Your laptop is too shit to run it.
>>
>128MB
ITT: We pretend it's 2003.
>>
>>330211713
Is your laptop 20 years old?
>>
> 128 mb ram

Even my IBM Thinkpad from 2003 has more RAM. How the fuck can you even run Windows 7 and where the hell did you find your shitty laptop.
>>
>>330211713
Update the laptop. You can't do anything else.

>>
>>330211713

Damn, well, thanks anyway. I'm really shit with this kind of thing, so don't really know a lot (if anything really) when it comes to computers.
The thing is, it runs other games, I'm able to play Guacameele, Papers Please, Titan Souls, Doom 3, FFVII and some other shit, so don't really know why this game isn't able to run.
Thanks anyway /v/

If you right click on desktop and select screen resolution, then click advanced settings you should see something like pic related.

How much shared system memory do you have?
>>
Finally someone with a me-tier computer on /v/
Forget it, kid, either play Memetale or grab a console.
>>
>>330213107
Wouldn't run well on OP's pc, will lag during some if not all battles.

Actually, it ran Memetale perfectly.
It was shit tho, so I uninstalled it.

>>330211962
video ram, i'm not even OP, i have a C2D Q9400 which can take any current i3, but hell yeah, is a 8yo technology, on a 6yo laptop and top i can share with video is 128MB too

welcome to intel integrated
>>330212431
if the game really blocks you due, VRAM then there is no way OP

that notebook was never meant to run games OP, it's a great facebook/office machine tho
>>
Should've bought the game
>>
>>330213713
Yeah, I mostly use it for school and homework, but I thought my computer was going to be able to run it, since it looked similar to Terraria, at least it did on screencaps
>>
>>330213846
>Buying games
Nah, just kidding, I just wanna try it out beafore I buy it.
>>
>>330213630
Well you have more than 256mb vram available so that shouldn't be the problem.

Looking at the error message you posted I think the problem is that your graphics doesn't support dx10. Try running the game in compatibility mode for windows XP
>>
>>330213858
anyway that seems a "hardcap" if it is really like terraria it would, but since is done with XNA, and its installer has such cap, it won't...

>>330214170
>Looking at the error message you posted I think the problem is that your graphics doesn't support dx10
it has a half baked DX10 implementation tho, i've nearly the same system, and it advertises DX10 support so windows aero can run
>>
>>330214170
Oh ok.
I thought I had dx11 or some shit like that, at least that's what the website said (can you RUN it).
>>
>>330213979
You won't regret that decision with this one.
>>
>>330213713
>i have a C2D Q9400 which can take any current i3
45nm was good but not that good.
>>
>>330214467
than most i3 (shit laptop ones) it is anon
http://ark.intel.com/products/35562/Intel-Core2-Duo-Processor-T9400-6M-Cache-2_53-GHz-1066-MHz-FSB
it has 6MB of L2 cache clocked over 2.5GHz
but fall flat against iGP and Memory bandwidth
>>
>>330211890
128MB isn't even the norm in low spec laptops back then. That shit is early 90's tier tech.

the xbox 360 from a decade ago has 512mb of video memory
>>
>>330215354
>console
What's your point, senpai?
>>
>>330215061
By default Intel shit has it running as low as it possibly can. You can take it higher although some models of laptop try to block this out altogether for some reason.
>>
>>330215354
wasn't of video memory
it had 512MB of MEMORY.
and only 10MB of VRAM. (of real vram memory tho, not shared shit like OPs)
>>
>>330211890
Fuck my 2005 thinkpad has a 1g amd radion in it, poor girl died on me recently, I miss her
>>
>>330212431

>hue

dont worry, me too

Intel integated uses part of your real RAM as video RAM. Try find some configuration of how to allocate more RAM to video

Also checks steam community /official fóruns for solutions

Fuck my phone has a better processor

>>330215061
>128mb
>early 90's
cards in the early 90's were luck to have 32mb of vram
