Worth trying the suggestion that @adelade suggests re High DPI - accessed from the compatibility tab when you right click on the short cut / launcher icon.

That resolved the landing page only showing a quarter of the screen.

Once you get past that, if you’re getting frame rate issues then worth searching “voodoo” on this forum. I went from 8-11 fps to 25-30 fps. I’m still bad at hitting the snap, but that’s my fault!

Hi frog... It's not specifically the "Intel Processor" that is the problem with Links, Links has trouble with "Intel Integrated Graphics" in either your CPU Processor or your motherboard. If you have any "Intel Integrated Graphics" on your computer, you will need to install special patches to hopefully get a fix for it. I'm sorry, but I don't know which patches solve which problems. The other guys can help you through it I'm sure...

Good luck, :tiphat:

Thanks Dan, that makes sense. I have tried everything I have been alerted too and none of them work. Maybe I can get there with this info. Good luck - FrogHair

frog,

Here is a link to the program that has helped numerous people work past the Intel integrated graphics issues - viewtopic.php?f=9&t=788.

We avoid using the actual name of the program on this site as it has caused issues with, I believe, the host of the forum. You will note that the admin of the forum has the link to the program and not the forum itself.

I'm on Windows 11 with Intel integrated graphics and Links works very well for me. After many failed attempts, I finally did exactly what gator suggested and have had no issues.
