Intel® HD Graphics - Can I play Battle for Middle-Earth 2 The Rise of the Witch king on my laptop?

Hello. I have a problem with playing game The Battle for Middle-Earth 2, The Rise of the Witch king extension patch on my laptop. I already tried other solutions I could find, but I've found only solutions for different graphics cards or processors. I have Intel HD Graphics and Intel Celeron CPU N3050, 64 Bit Windows 10 operating system. I didn't manage to make the these other solutions work on my laptop ("beta driver, options.ini folder, fixer program, compatibility troubleshooting", etc.). According to what I have read, the problem should be in graphics compatibility with the game. Please could you help me? Any advice or idea is most welcome.

Thank you. I'll go to try it straight away. I tried about 25 of different drivers already, so let's hope this one will work.

Thank you, but it didn't work. Do I have to uninstall the previous driver? Because I tried that with other drivers and it didn't help. I just got the error that I don't have minimum requirements. I think that solution with changing the driver to older ones won't help because I have found just one driver that is supporting my processor (Intel Celeron N3050) which I'm using now and I'm not able to run the game with it.

You have a Braswell processor, this means the latest graphics drivers compatible for your processor is version https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/26228/Intel-Graphics-Driver-for-Windows-10-and-Windows-7-8-1-15-40- 4501

 

Please let me know your findings.

Hello Allan. I tried to install the driver, but at the end of the installation error window shown up:

"The driver being installed is not validated for this computer. Please obtain the appropriate driver from the manufacturer.

Setup will exit."

Before starting the installation, I couldn't find my processor in the list of the processors which are compatible with that driver. Any other idea?

Thanks for the information.

 

That message indicates that your computer model requires drivers only from your computer maker.

 

You could try installing the driver 4501 manually. Please see instructions below:
