Minimum PC requirements?

[burny209]

I was wondering what the minimum pc requirements are
cause if i run the alpha 79 build it loads then i get sound and then the phonix window doesnt respond anymore
but sound is working somehow.

i am running windows xp sp 3
cpu: amd 3500+
ram: 2.5gb ddr
gpu: ati radeon x1650 pro

if i run without the debugger with starting it with ctrl+f5 from visual studio the same thing happens

here are the last entries of the debugger

Code: Select all

Have you downloaded the latest drivers for your graphics card?

That is a must - it seems to solve most errors around here.

[burny209]

my graphics drivers are up2date

its kinda weird i get the background sound like wind, but nothing happens and the
phoenix window doesnt respond.

Same problem here.

Of course, I am trying to run it on a Netbook, which probably isn't the best idea

But just for reference my specs are:

HP Mini 311
CPU: Atom 320N 1.6ghz
Graphics card: NVidia ION
1GB of RAM

Radeon doesn't sound good for gaming anyway...

Maybe we should make a supported video cards thread...

[Timen]

Well it's very easy no you can't run it on those specs. (btw netbooks will never run games any good)
I have tested it with a dual core and ati radeon hd 3870 and also I suffer frame drops and other lags.
I think the finished product will be optimal enough for you to run it but the alpha's are to heavy.

[Blorx]

Yeah, I'm not surprised at all by the fact that a Radeon x1650 doesn't work. It probably will on lower settings once the game has them and is optimized, but I mean, I used to have a Radeon x1300, myself, and it would struggle with games like Hellgate: London and Fallen Earth from time to time.

One of my friends use to play Dark Messiah Of Might And Magic on a radeon and every time he equiped a magic dagger there were half transparent black and white checkers and we used to call them the emo daggers .

That means there's a missing texture, nothing to do with his specs. (just saying )

It runs perfectly on my macbook, which have comparable specs. No lagging or anything. So I'd say this isn't because of too low specs but rather about current lack of compatibility with different types of hardware.
