Intel HD 520 breaks transparency in eXceed 2nd and 3rd

[EEmil]

As the title says, Intel HD 520 breaks transparency in the games eXceed 2nd and eXceed 3rd (they are available on steam), making all sprites have black boxes behind them like in this screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/7JkgBmZ.png http://i.imgur.com/7JkgBmZ.png

This does not occur when the graphics card is disabled, but the frame rate suffers instead. It also does not occur on a computer with a geforce 660m card and another one with Intel HD 3000. I have updated my drivers, the game, BIOS etc as suggested on this page: http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/graphics-drivers/000005746.html Game Troubleshooting for Intel® Graphics Products

Output from the Intel graphics driver: http://pastebin.com/raw/kPmKNyQE http://pastebin.com/raw/kPmKNyQE (Sorry about the Swedish, but I think the relevant information should be obvious enough)

Msinfo32 output is attached as well.

Hello Montop:

Please try the following driver, it is the latest version for the Intel® HD Graphics 520 controller: Driver 4501: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/26228/Intel-Graphics-Driver-for-Windows-10-and-Windows-7-8-1-15-40-?product=88355 https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/26228/Intel-Graphics-Driver-for-Windows-10-and-Windows-7-8-1-15-40-?product=88355 Also, if the driver above does not work, you can try the following beta driver 4539: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/26347/Intel-Beta-Graphics-Driver-for-Windows-10-and-Windows-7-8-1-15-40-?product=88355 https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/26347/Intel-Beta-Graphics-Driver-for-Windows-10-and-Windows-7-8-1-15-40-?product=88355 I found a graphics driver on HP's web site, please try it if the problem persists after trying the drivers above: http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/HP-Spectre-13-x360-Convertible-PC-Series/7527520/model/7791778 http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/HP-Spectre-13-x360-Convertible-PC-Series/7527520/model/7791778 Now, based on the fact that the problem does not happen when you disable the graphics card, it means that the problem could be related to graphics card itself, the laptop is using switchable graphics, since you already did a BIOS update and updated all the drivers in that case we recommend to get in contact with HP to try to get the specific driver that your laptop needs and for further technical or warranty assistance. HP's phone number: 1 800-474-6836 HP"s support site: http://support.hp.com/us-en http://support.hp.com/us-en Any questions, please let me know. Alberto

Tried both Intel drivers, (have tried the HP drivers before.) and the problem persists. The computer does not have switchable graphics, just the integrated card. I have found a kind of solution though, the game works perfectly in Wine in Linux on the same computer. I have no idea why, but I can play it. Thanks for the suggestions!

Hello Montop:

Thank you very much for that information. Perfect, excellent, it is great to hear that you found a work around and now you are able to play the game without problems using Wine in Linux. Any other inquiry, do not hesitate in contact us again. Regards Alberto
