Users have noted that optimizing settings, particularly by adjusting the OpenGL performance mode, can significantly improve performance on lower-end hardware like Intel HD 4000 graphics. Despite using a notebook, some players report that the game performs comparably or even slightly better than Blender 3D when these adjustments are made.
- “The cause was that I am using Intel HD 4000 graphics, so you have to set the display -> OpenGL -> performance video mode to 'off' instead of 'automatic'.”
- “Although I am using it on a notebook, it has equal or slightly better performance than Blender 3D.”
