Exceptions or switchable graphicsSometimes people do manage to get the game working on an Intel GPU. I wouldn't say it is impossible to run the game on an Intel HD card, but the problem is that the behaviour of these GPU's is unpredictable. For one it can work, and for another it can't.Lastly, most laptops with AMD or Nvidia GPU's still have the Intel GPU installed. This is for energy saving reasons.Intel GPU's are lighter on energy consumption and are therefore used for lighter tasks such as browsing, flash, word etc. Whenever a heavier application is started, the AMD or Nvidia GPU will take over since these are more heavy, but take more energy in order to work. If you find the game refusing to work and you are certain you have a dedicated chip installed, take a look within the switchable graphics settings to see if the GPU detects ShipSim as a heavier application.
