Not on highest settings, but it should run fine.

Please right-click on the game and choose "properties". Add the line thqno_overlay_disabled to the "LAUNCH OPTIONS". Close the options window and try again, the game should now start. If that doesn't help, please add more information as posted by Lighthope.

In addition to this forum we also host a bug tracker to gather, categorize and fix bugs reported by the community. In case you find a bug or need technical help, we will ask you to create a thread on this forum and also file a report on our bug tracker: https://redmine.thqnordic.com/projects/knights-of-honor-ii-community/issues/new Information we will need from you: Headline (one sentence, e.g. “Game freezes when creating cavalary”) Full description Is this bug reproduceable? (unknown, sometimes, always) How serious is this issue? (minor, major, crash) Game mode (menus, campaign, singleplayer / online) and difficulty Steps to reproduce this bug (if known) Version number (this is displayed in the main menu, on the top left) Please attach your DX Dialog / save game / player.log file in the space provided. If you are not sure how to attach your DX, here is a guide from Microsoft https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/open-and-run-dxdiag-exe-dad7792c-2ad5-f6cd-5a37-bf92228dfd85 You can find your save game in the following location: C:\Users<USERNAME>\AppData\LocalLow\BlackSeaGames\Sovereign\Saves\SinglePlayer and the player.log is saved here: C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\LocalLow\BlackSeaGames\Sovereign If you cannot see the “AppData” folder (it is hidden by default), click “View” in the menu bar of the folder window and check “Hidden Items”. If you have a screenshot or small video of the bug, please attach it as well. Thank you! A quick way to gather all that information is to use the built-in bug reporting tool:If you press F7 at any point in the game, a bug-reporting tool shows up. If possible, always generate such a report and attach it to your bug report on the forums or redmine. If you attach a bug report, you should still describe the bug. Don't forget to also attach the screenshot the tool creates.The bug-reporting tool automatically creates a savegame the moment you create the report. If you use the tool during a battle, the savegame will be from the moment right before you started the battle.Here is an example of the bug-report tool:

One of the main goals of Knights of Honor II: Sovereign was to give you an accessible Grand Strategy experience. Still, the game can be overwhelming at times, especially for beginners. That's why we assembled this list of useful tutorials and guides. This list is not complete, if you think we should add some video (especially in a new language), please link it in a comment in this thread, we will expand this list as well.

It will run, but poorly. We did tests with a similar configuration, I guess you can expect between 10 and 30 FPS with an Intel Iris.

We didn't do extensive tests on Windows 7/8, that's the only reason it is not listed in the system requirements. It should run just fine, but we focused on Windows 10/11 testing, so there's a chance something got overlooked.

You should try to find a laptop with a decent CPU like an Intel Core i5 (laptop CPUs tend to be much slower than their desktop counterparts), at least 8GB of RAM and a half-decent graphics card. It's hard to give you a list of supported graphics cards, but you can either tell me your budget and location and I can try and find you some offers that might work for you or you link some offers from your local retailers and I can tell you which can support the game.

You can always join our Discord server at https://discord.gg/knightsofhonor, even if there are no "serious" RP discussions there right now, I'm sure that any such community would emerge from either this forum or the Discord server.

It is the off-topic section, no need to be over-zealous :)

That's actually me, but Steam only has a "developer" title, no "publisher". Sorry it took us so long!

That CPU should have no issues running the game.

Over a year later, but I think I found the setting you're looking for:
