Anyone attempting to ignore the game requirements must expect poor results. The game is designed for real video cards from either of the two actual gaming video card providers, AMD or nVIDIA. If you want to go the cheap route, you can haunt Intel for assistance.

Yeah, I was thinking it had to do with my graphics card as well, but it's strange that it worked fine before on Windows 7, but it isn't working now on Windows 8.1. I didn't have any graphics issues before (only lagging), so I was thinking that it might have been a wrong configuration or something down the line, or perhaps OS-specific.
Is there any way to upgrade the video card on a laptop? I've also heard things about using an external video card, would that work?
Using external GPUs on laptops may become a lot more mainstream in the coming years.
"Intel is already working with AMD to allow for the hot plugging of external GPUs, which will allow plug and play capabilities. The company expects the drivers to be ready for Windows 10 soon, and it may usher in a new age of external GPUs for gaming."
