Just Below Min. Specs. (PIII 733)

March 3, 2006 10:48:31 PM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums
Hey guys,

Newbie here, my current computer is just below the Minimum Requirements. I have a PIII-733, 512MB RAM, with a GeForce2. Will I have problems playing this game or will it be okay, maybe just a little slow?

I will be getting a new rig very soon (in 1-2 weeks) for Non-Linear Editing and Oblivion so for sure it'll run on that computer but I was just so gosh darn excited about this game I had to buy it before I got my rig.

Thank in advanced,

PantlessOne

You will be missing some of the graphical bits as the GF2 can't support them (though there have been links to some sort of driver-fakeout app that would try to let DirectX do some of them in software). I wouldn't encourage playing on the larger maps, but you should be able to run fine. Just slower.

Yeah, you're gonna have to play zoomed out a lot.

Time to get a new machine.

Thanks Nakor and TXFRaven! As long as it runs I am a happy PantlessOne and I'll suck it up a bit on the graphics for now but I'll be getting my new rig soon!

I'm so excited and I just can't hide it, I'm about to lose control and I think I like it!
