Re: Minimum Requirements

I have to admit that if the system requirements are as high as have been hinted at, I'm a bit disappointed. The graphics in the game look good, no doubt, but it's not like it's "Crysis"-quality 3D. No other "tycoon"-type game has these kind of requirements, that I know of. I see no real reason why this game shouldn't be playable on the same machine that allows me to play World of Warcraft, or any other "live" 3D game, for that matter. I will continue trying on different PCs to see how it goes.

As a small developer we don't have the ability to A: produce the kind of art that a AAA developer can and B: spend months and many people's time optimizing for the best possible performance. So this does mean that it doesn't look as good as AAA and it does have fairly high requirements.

Re: Minimum Requirements

Adjusting your viewport quality setting to lowest should make run things much smoother jmp2006. If you haven't tried that please give it a shot. The medium or high setting is definitely not made for on-board graphics solutions.

Re: Minimum Requirements

Just some specs I got:

Sandbox Mode running Engine: ~120 FPS (maxed out) @ 1920x1080 px

System:

I7 960 @ 3.2 Ghz (stock)
12 GB Ram
Nvidia GTX 480

So any System build in the last two years should get it to work proper

Cheers

Re: Minimum Requirements

Alright most computers should be able to run this my old desktop is playing it just fine (motherboard died on new pc) it has a on board gpu so nothing fancy. my computer specs are:
AMD athlon 64 3800+ 2.4GHz Single core,
2 gig of ram,
NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE nForce 430 at 128MBytes
so as you can see here its really slow but i am still able to run the game keep in mind though its meant for better computers so your going to sacrifice quality so its advised to turn the settings down to minimum.

Re: Minimum Requirements

Wow.. it runs on a 6150? I'm genuinely shocked, as I once had an onboard 6150 and I couldn't get it to run anything!
