I've bought this game recently thinking I could play it on my laptop with core i3 and Intel HD graphics. But it seems I can't. I can play many adventures and brand new indie games with a lot more action or also 3D perpective, so I didn't even think about possibly getting in trouble with Fran Bow. But I ran into the issues mentioned on these forums, black screen, no apparent loading for minutes.
So I tried the offered solutions and the only one that partially worked for me is adding the parameter -software to the executable. But on the menu screen I still get occasional flickering; I first thought it might be a horror effect, but then I noticed the things that flicker into view for the blink of an eye are random GUI graphics and white geometrical shapes. It's no fun playing Fran Bow that way.
Now, I also have a desktop PC with corei5 or i7 and GTX660 (I think), but I won't be able to try the game on it before the 30-day money back guarantee runs out. Do you think there's a chance that it won't work that well on the desktop PC either? Should I ask for a refund rather than risk that? What are your experiences with the game on Intel PCs?
I'm also kind of disappointed that a little 2D indie adventure like this would be so resource and memory hungry that I can't play it on a laptop that's perfectly fine for some 3D action games like Bioshock, Alpha Protocol or Assassin's Creed. I'm much more likely to play adventure games on the road with my laptop, and rather use the desktop to play 3D action games ...
