SOMA on Windows 8?

[robi94]

Is the game running on windows 8?

[Mudbill]

It runs on 7 and 10, so it would be really strange if 8 wasn't in the mix. So yea, should work fine. If it doesn't, it's likely some other issue.

The problem is not Windows 8, it's your Intel HD graphics chip.

[robi94]

I'm on Windows 8 and I have Intel HD Graphics 4000.

If it's not working, try updating your drivers manually, as stated in the troubleshooting guide. If that doesn't work, there might not be much that can be done. The card is not supported.

You can post your hpl.log found in Documents/My Games/SOMA

Can you tell us your system specs?

Operating system: Windows 8 Single Language 64-bit(6.2, Build 9200)
Graphic Card: Intel® HD Graphics 4000
Processor: Intel® Core™ i7-3612QM CPU @ 2.10GHz (8 CPUs), ~2.1 GHz

The system you have in combine with windows 8 makes it hard to believe that SOMA can run properly.
This thing there isnt a graphiccard, its an onboard system. As i red...

Looks like you need a real machine.

The only way to solve this is to update drivers. Note that you might have to uninstall the older ones first-
