Avaris Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Delphi, can you tell us why EAW is to have requirements that are lower than any major RTS released in 05? When its an 06 game? It seems that population caps and unit detail could be improved 50% if the requirements were set to indsutry standard. In fact, some well selling games released in the last few months have requirements that are twice what EAW asks for. Nathan, I never follwed the geforce line that closely, but I recall MX cards generally being built on the previous line's core. So a Geforce4MX was a gefore3 core. But, either a gefore3 or 4 core would work according to that German site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirNuke Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 I'm not sure about the GeForce4. I vaguely recall deciding to upgrade my GeForce4 card because it wasn't directx 9. The second result on google, however, suggests that the GeForce4 is compatable, and Junker's post says it will be supported by EaW, so I don't know. Zing!

Teradyn_pff Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 If you don't eat out for the time between now and the release you should be able to save enough money to get a very decent video card.

It could be that Lucasarts is attempting to hit the market with a game available for all computers.....but we should wait for the Recommended requirements. That should "up the ante", so to speak. http://img525.imageshack.us/img525/3269/pffuserbar2globalmodnx9.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxShadow Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Well, I know for a fact that I'll be running it no matter what. Even the PC at my grandparents house will run it, and they have a 2.4 Ghz Intel P4, 512MB RAM, and a 64MB Intel Integrated video card! So I'm set system wise. A good piece of mind so I can play the demo before I get "my" PC a month from now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet that the minimum requirments will be ajustable to a higher level, thus making the graphics a lot better. They just wanted to make this game available to lots of people. Delphi also said earlier that the pop cap would not hinder us in any way that we are thinking. Don't go getting angry at things you don't know enough about.

Avaris Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 go to "run" on the start menu. And then type in "dxdiag" and press enter. That will give you information on most aspects of your computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relentless Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Okay, somehow the demo's "analyze your computer" thing says that my computer cannot pass the requirements. I've played the demo many times without any problems, but still it says that my CPU is somehow only 800mhz. This is pretty stressing since now I'm worried I cant play the complete version... but why does the demo work no problem? I tried scanning my computer using the dxdiag-thing on windows, but it wont show my CPU. Am I completely stupid or are the prosessor and the CPU the same thing? If they are, then good, 'cause then I'll pass easily.

Teradyn_pff Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 The CPU is a part of the processor along with the ALU, etc. Usually CPU is used interchangeably with processor though.

Wiking_pff Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 My AMD 3.0 runs it pretty okay on max. level (maybe slows down once in 5 minutes). The game looks beautiful though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirNuke Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 The problem is the fact your processor is mobile, meaning the speed decreases when the computer isn't under load. When the demo first analyzes your computer, it is probably getting the current speed, rather than the max cpu speed. Zing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
