    Old favorite.

    I have a lenovo T440 I picked up for 50 dollars, it has hd 4400 and was wondering why im getting glitches with graphics, not sure if it's a driver issue or what. I just installed the newest drivers and im still getting artifacting making it unplayable, and on a side note no other game does this.

    anyone heard of this glitching and how to solve it. This is my second favorite game of all time and I want to play through it again, but well im at NBRs mercy on this one, please help me troubleshoot the problem and well I can't offer much but thanks.


    Thanks in advance

    update tried running shenmue 2 and it works flawlessly, problem lies with the first one.

    update opened it to see if it would run on intel 4400 and ended up playing for an hour, man..... just sucks you in.

    This is the latest, less than 1 week old

    I found the same issue in halflife 2....resolved with using beta intel drivers.....issue still unresolved.

    basically it's drivers, and nothing will fix this but a drop from intel

    I'm so sorry NBR iv'e been lurking here for 10 years and posting for 1...shenmue was one of the best games ever made, and no one here will even reply with, I'm sure glad it's out for PC ecetera. WHY????

    I put it on my wishlist. I played it for like an hour on an emulator way back a long time ago.

    I have it on PC but have been playing on PS4. It hasn’t been a great experience so far. Despite a large day one patch, there are still plenty of bugs and glitches. I’ll give some time for these issues to be sorted, but if they are not fixed I will revert back to emulation.

    yeah it's pretty glitchy, great story and fun gameplay but it all needs to be ironed out

    It seems there are some issues, specifically the one with glitchy cutscenes, that can be addressed by putting the game back to a 4:3 aspect ratio as opposed to 16:9. I'll give that a try next time I play. Here is a thread on the Shenmue Dojo where you can report bugs and see a catalog of outstanding reports for all platforms and their status.
