Before You Start

Prerequisites: A PC with Intel integrated graphics.; An LDPlayer Vulkan build from 9.1.6.2 to 9.1.19.4, or from 9.1.25 to 9.1.26.1, as listed in the source.; Your Windows operating system name and version, so you can pick the matching driver.; Administrator access to install a driver.

Step-by-Step

  1. Open Intel's Support for Intel Graphics page at intel.com.
  2. Scroll down to List of Drivers for Intel Graphics.
  3. Open the list.
  4. Select your operating system from the drop-down menu.
  5. Open your operating system's entry.
  6. Check the Version section for the drivers your operating system supports.
  7. Choose a driver released before August 2024.
  8. Download and install that driver. The source uses version 32.0.101.5768 WHQL Certified as an example.
  9. Restart your PC if the installer asks you to.

## Overview

On PCs with Intel integrated graphics, LDPlayer’s Vulkan builds can show the message “Your device does not match the hardware requirements of this application.” The message can appear when you open Pokemon TCG Pocket or other games. The source reports that the latest Intel GPU drivers cause it. Installing an older driver, released before August 2024, is the workaround the source describes.

## Why this works

The source ties the message to the newest Intel GPU drivers and reports that an older driver avoids it. The source does not explain the internal check that triggers the message. Treat the older driver as a workaround, and expect that the message may return after a future driver update.

## What to expect

After the install, the driver version on your graphics card may be older than the one you had before. Open the game again in LDPlayer. The hardware requirement message should not appear.

## Verify

Open the game again in LDPlayer. The hardware requirement message should no longer appear. You can also open Device Manager, expand Display adapters, and check the driver version in your graphics card’s properties.

## Common mistakes

## Security note

Security note: An older graphics driver can lack security fixes that newer drivers include. Use it only for as long as you need it. To revert, install the latest driver from Intel’s site and test the game again. The warning may return.
