i used to play with an integrated intel GPU from 2003
if your computer can't run blockland, it's probably because you don't know how to optimize
Generally, the term "run" would mean running at an optimal framerate. How does one optimize a game like Blockland? On my old laptop, all my settings were ran at minimum, minimum view distance, LOD distance, everything. How much more optimized can that get? The problem is that it made absolutely no difference and I still had under 20 FPS even around 30k bricks. My old laptop had integrated graphics as well. The sad part is that it was from 2008.
The OS settings were set to minimum as well, all the flashy, useless effects were taken off and I always checked for any background processes that were taking up my CPU. Literally, I had Blockland running alone with absolutely nothing else open but the bare minimal programs to run my computer. Even that made no difference.
I really doubt you can run Blockland correctly on any computer that is not modern in the slightest. Hell, my newest computer is at least five times better than my original intel and it still runs Blockland with difficulty in the higher brick range - without shaders.
last time i checked blockland does in fact run very well on low end computers
yes the shaders may be demanding
but guess what
YOU DON'T HAVE TO USE THEM
and yes your grandma's PC may not be able to handle 250,000 bricks
but guess what
no game can magically make a low end computer run at 500 FPS with that many objects
I don't run shaders, thanks for asking. The shaders are the most poorly optimized features of this game. I don't think I'll ever use them.
I've had to suffer through playing this game on a stuffty laptop for several years until recently, I got a new one. It's too bad I don't play the game as much as I used to. My current computer would've been useful ages ago. lol
