Re: Automation - Minimum Requirements

it tanks hard on my pc at high settings, ok with the slider set to medium. I have a cpu usage issue as well, it gets progressively worse after about 15 minutes or so, causing audio to stutter and skip and making sliders difficult to use.

No idea why, it shouldnt really happen. Im running a phenomII-965 and ati 5850.

Yes. The only difference is content.

Re: Automation - Minimum Requirements

Hopefully the final game will benefit from some optimization work and actually run BETTER than the demo :)

Re: Automation - Minimum Requirements

I recently acquired a portable computer

Windows 7 Basic (Or whatever the cheapest one is)
2gb ram
Intel Atom processor
64 Bit
1024x600 screen resolution

Is there a way to run Automation without a graphics card?
If so, will everything else I have work?

Re: Automation - Minimum Requirements

Nope, it needs a decent gaming graphics card, and that Atom CPU is very much designed for netbooks and super low power use, so for things like watching video or surfing the net.

Basically if it can't run other modern games (lets say something like Battlefield 3) it probably can't run Automation

Re: Automation - Minimum Requirements

Well, i can play the game on medium-low settings with the following specifications:

AMD A6 3400M 1,4Ghz@2,3Ghz
8GB DDR3 Memory
AMD Radeon HD6650M

Maybe you can also make minimum specs for laptops?

Re: Automation - Minimum Requirements

To whom it may concern ;), I'm glad to report that Automation set to maximum quality settings at 1920x1200 runs smoother than I could possibly imagine on the following configuration:

AMD Phenom II X6 1100T @4.0 GHz
4 GB of DDR2-8500 RAM
ATI Radeon HD 5870 1 GB @1000/5000

Even though it's showing its age it still manages to keep the framerate at at least 50 FPS no matter what game mode I'm in. Actually, it barely uses the first two cores so I reckon a similarly clocked X3 CPU would run it just as well. Good job guys! :)

1280x720 (windowed) with the slider on medium and SSAA and FXAA off
Somewhere over 30FPS

Re: Automation - Minimum Requirements

Someone mentioned making the minimum requirements for laptops. Well, my laptop runs the game, kind of, on lowest settings. Not sure on FPS, but it's not many. Still playable though. So for reference, this is about the minimum I've got the game to run "OK" on:

AMD Athlon X2 QL-65 @ 2.1GHz
3GB DDR2-something (I will check) RAM
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570
Windows 7 Home Premium

Kind of, anything around that would be the lowest I'd want to go with a laptop, but it will technically run on lower. (Runs quite well on this machine with the no graphics option mind you :P).

Should be the Intel 4000 series graphics, Cause it's a Haswell. I think it should run pretty well on some slower computers with lower graphics settings though.

Re: Automation - Minimum Requirements

I have Intel Intergrated Graphics 4000 HD in my laptop and I can run it quite well on full quality!! It does go slow occasionally, but I can work with it no problem.
