15.0 High-res sprite setting

[Peteza34]

Not sure if this is a bug or if I am just SOL. The high res sprite option doesn't play well with my system. I am working with 8G RAM and the Intel Integrated HD graphics. Also an Intel i5 processor, if that is relevant.
The menu screens all looked as follows:

I fired up a new map and was spawned in the position of the next image, unable to move or act. I could still access the menu screens and exit the game though:

After switching back to normal-res sprites, the game worked fine. The only other option I changed was switching to full screen. Hope this helps.

Sorry I meant to attach as well. It is attached.

Intel Integrated HD graphics

Sorry but integrated chips use ram from your main system memory. This starts out at a hard minimum of ~128MB "dedicated" RAM. Then the graphics driver will allocate up to another 2GB dynamically as needed. Intel driver are particularly bad about just corrupting the video memory when it gets full leading to odd issues like you are having. I have a laptop I occasionally play on when I'm on the go that also runs an intel HD gfx chip. I can have the gfx on normal when playing vanilla but if I add in some mods then I have to jump straight to very low or everything is corrupted all to hell.

It really sucks but there isn't anything the devs can do as far as I know.

[edit]
You can try setting the graphics quality to high and the video ram usage to low. I think I had some luck with that in the past on my intel laptop.

The high graphcis options is only intended for 2+ GB (or more) of dedicated video memory cards.
