Star Wars Battlefront wont run on ASUS K55A, i5, 8GB, Win 8.1, intel HD Graphics 4000

My son bought the new video game Star Wars Battlefront and it will not run on his ASUS laptop. It keeps telling him he needs to update his video driver. We have done that several times but we still get the same error. He has an ASUS K55A laptop, intel i5, 8GB memory, Windows 8.1, intel HD Graphics 4000. Intel HD Graphics is his only display adapter. I have attached an MSInfo32.exe export file. have also attached a screen shot of the error message. The game will not start. It tries to start, goes to a black screen and then the error message displays, and then the window closes out. Would anyone be able to tell us, what if anything, we can do to fix it? I

thanks

dan

Hi Dan I understand you because I have exactly the same problem with the new battlefront!

I am also looking for an answer although I have a 4th generation intel I7 quad core, 8 GB RAM, windows 8.1 64-bit, intel HD graphics 4600. But when I try to find updates for the driver, I can't find a good one who is compatible with my system.

Hello all,

You can try to download the latest driver version from our web page https://downloadcenter.intel.com/ Intel® Download Center, filter according to your system specifications. However, please bear in mind the following information http://starwars.ea.com/starwars/battlefront/news/star-wars-battlefront-community-update-5 http://starwars.ea.com/starwars/battlefront/news/star-wars-battlefront-community-update-5, this link is from the developers of the game and as you can see the requirements are very demanding even the minimum requirements are demanding. If you're running the game out these requirements any issue you might get will be expected.

Regards,

Amy.

Hi Amy thanks for this information, but still I have the problem with every new driver that I download and try to install, when I do this I receive the error message that it is not compatible with my system. I tried almost all the drivers that I could find for my system specs.

regards

Matthias.

Hello Dan1193,

I think that it's not a problem with the drivers. It's because you only have an Intel HD Graphics 4000 as a graphic processor. You don't have a true graphic card (NVidia or AMD).

So it's not enough powerful for your game... and lots of other games. I'm sorry for your son, but without a true graphic card, you won't be able to run this game

Here is the system requirements : http://www.game-debate.com/games/index.php?g_id=8081&game=Star%20Wars:%20Battlefront http://www.game-debate.com/games/index.php?g_id=8081&game=Star%20Wars:%20Battlefront

Even me with my poor NVidia GeForce GT 740M on my laptop, I think that I would be very limited...

Edit : Oops ! I just saw that Intel answered you the same thing ^_^

the game works on an iris 5100

there is a bug in the current hd 4000 driver that prevents the game from working this also affected the beta

Intel does not want to make any more drivers for hd 4000 https://downloadmirror.intel.com/25313/eng/ReleaseNotes_GFX_15.33.39.4276.pdf https://downloadmirror.intel.com/25313/eng/ReleaseNotes_GFX_15.33.39.4276.pdf
