H:O crashes at initial load screen on home server #492

I'm trying to get a server going on my old home server (4GB DDR2, Core 2 Duo E8400, no GPU, Windows 10). It launches, goes through the loading animation, then crashes with no error message. It's old, but I run a Minecraft server on it just fine so I think it will work for a small server if I can get it running.

Steps: I've tried different options in properties: compatibly for different Windows versions, running at lower resolutions, 8 bit colors, turning off fullscreen optimizations - none work. I assume it's my old CPU, or maybe lack of GPU?

I downloaded it from my own personal google drive account. Got the file from one of the Reddit threads before they were taken down. I know it works because I used it on my desktop.

SOLVED: I needed a dedicated GPU for it to launch. The iGPU drivers for the E8400 were just far too old. Bought a GT 710 on ebay and it launches fine now.
