my old PC ( C2Q q8400 @2.6GHz, 8gb ddr3 ram , gt 710 2gb) was able to run the game at the lowest possible settings lowest possible resolution at 8-12 FPS (which i find playable) . in theory , my new PC ( i3 8100 @3.6GHz, 8gb ddr4 ram , UHD 630 integrated graphics ) should be able to outperform my last PC in every way . but the same game that ran good enouf for me just a few weeks ago wont even load , does it need to see that your PC has drivers for a dedicated GPU and wont start without one or am i just being stupid?
it gives me this when ever i try playing

Solution
Your issue is integrated graphics. How much RAM is assigned to the igpu? Your old pc had a dedicated card with 2Gb VRAM. Without a dedicated gpu you are not going to get a good experience.

Ok you need to wipe the hard drive, reinstall windows 10, and reinstall your games. Then see what happens. Wolfenstein 2 should start and run on Intel 630. HOWEVER the problem mentioned above about the lack of dedicate VRAM is real. Most people report the game freezes up after a short while of playing. With only 8gb of ram in your system you don't really have enough to spare to dedicate to the iGPU.

So to honestly play the game you need 2 things 1: reinstall EVERYTHING. 2: a GPU, even a GTX 1050.
