System Requirements

[Scrubje]

Does anyone know when we can get an update on the system requirements needed for KCD2? I really enjoyed the first game but given the state of games released in the last two years i worry if ill be able to play it.

No more than 16GB system RAM will be needed, RAM is not what you need here, but proper usage of cores (from engine/system) and GPU. I don'y think needingd will be much higher than KCD1. In fact, games using same engine, reusing modles, maps, textures, animations... in my times were called "expansions". This is just that, as far as I know.

Well, this was always meant to be one game, but rather than having everyone wait for 14 years (and them running out of money in the meantime), they released the first part when they had it. So I wouldn't expect the second one to be using any other engine. This isn't like other sequel games.

The first one was very kind in terms of its hardware requirements - in fact, many casual gamers I know were surprised that their hardware was fast enough to play such a new and stunning-looking game. It just comes to show that a game doesn't need super-next-gen weather effects and whatnot for people to like it - a carefully sculpted world that doesn't look like an endless repetition of the same stuff is worth far more. (For comparison, even though the world in Hogwarts Legacy was huge, it all looked dead and sameish and no-one plays that anymore a mere year after release, whereas KCD1 still rocks, even after six years and 1000+ hours of play.)

The original Kingdom Come: Deliverance is a prime example of an AA game awesomly done.

I know Specs haven’t been released yet so understand this will be an educated guess but could somebody give me an idea as to what I can expect with following as I’ve just returned to PC gaming and not clued up yet:

Got an ASUS ROG Strix G16 gaming laptop -
i7-13650HX Processor
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 8 GB
RAM: 16 GB DDR5

I can run KCD 1 on very high settings, with shadows set to High and no VSync (due to the cutscenes running at like 10 FPS with it on), at a constant 60 FPS (frame rate capped).

I can also run games like RDR 2 mainly on ultra, with certain setting like water physics on medium, and with DLSS quality between 60-90 FPS.

If you cant run it with a 4060, then we are doomed. Im sure you will be fine.

You should run KDC1 with better graphics than that with such PC. Problem is you need to change the user.cfg file to get it working. Some of the configurations in ultra are not working (have so high values that cannot work properly at a common sense FPS, but other values are lower than could be). And of course, KCD2 should not be a problem. Only if graphic configurations are well done, but, as engine is the same (Cry Engine), you could do something similar with KCD2 to see it better and with better FPS than with premade configurations from game menu.

That PC has nowadays parts, that should be able to run anything. Only the card is medium tier, but of the newest series. If that PC cannot run it, I gues they will be selling very few copies...

I have suffered 2 crashes playing this last week and another one just now (GOG): I entered a menu to buy or talk and game started "loading" in black screen, then went to desktop. Now I buy a horse and... just the same. Those problems are the ones needed to be addressed and fixed, because those are game related. And I don't know of any new game of the last 15 years that has not had those at launch (and years after launch... like this). In the old days, qhen no internet no patches but from PC magazines... games worked since day 1...

Im switching to a 10core and a 4070 super just in case it is a real hog. If you ever dropped hundreds of items and tried to move around in KCD you know why Im upgrading. More Npcs and more objects. It will definately be CPU and GPU heavy. As far as 4k and 2k I really dont care. 4K is a pointless tech anyway. Even if you have the best vision in the world and say you can tell the difference you are lying to yourself. My first playthrough of KCD before upgrading I played at 27 FPS with every bug and crash available on launch day and loved every minute of it. Im still playing on a 1050ti at 60fps at 1080p perfectly satisfied with the visuals and play.

I mean, if with second best GPU of the time you can't run it...

Of course it can run it. The problems were 2: dynamic shadows (for example at night; I finally managed to get quite good shadows, quantity, and the entering a place and cast my own shadow...) and the cities with many NPCs. THis second problem is not a low CPU problem, I see that maximum of my 20 threads is 65% at max, and average of all of them is not passing 25%: problem is withing game, engine and way of calling and managing the CPU resources...

Worse was the Witcher 1, when in last city, due to NPCs, and using a single core, I had same stuttering with Phenom II X4 965 as with a i7 4790K... was not able to reach 60FPS there...

i really dont have much space on SSD so i want to know if SSD is a must since 1st game didnt require it . if need ssd would need to clear little lol

It's same engine, so more or less, same specifications.

Problem with 1st KDC was in he configurations, premade ones: ultra had some low values that were able to be enhanced and others that were unplayable. On top of that, the volumetric fog was activated or not all the time, not per weather/time/location... And some strange grey shadowing effect when moving some characters...

Similar specifications, but if they add HDR/RT... higher. Given in 1920x1200p I am using 9'7GB of VRAM, if you want to run this you will need same or higher VRAM GPU. So, for higher than full HD without gay fake DLSS, you will not be able to run this without top of the series. (Well, no nowadays games are playable in 4K with top GPUs yet..., without fake 1080 upscale to 4K).

I think the first game was on Cryengine 3.3 because of the royalty free thing.
But for better optimization and support they likely have to do Cryengine 5.0, since they have the budget to handle it this time around from the sales of KCD1.

4K is meaningless because the point is pixels per inch. More pixels doesn't mean detail is 'better' it just means you can 'see' it.

Anti-aliasing will hide those details anyways, so unless you are playing a FPS where long distance seeing enemies with mere pixels is important, it really isn't. 1080p is just fine the way it is.

If your laptop can play console games at the same resolution and details settings and surpasses the frame rate, then you are fine.

I don't think games explicitly need SSD/NVMe. It is just that if you have slow HDD well, you will suffer the problems of that, independently of the rest of your hardware. Today NVMe PCIExpress disks are cheaper than HDDs 25 years ago...

Make space to the games you play at the moment. KCD1 used not a huge disk space.

For the version... some places say it will be in CE v5, but PCGamingWiki lists it under v1... So, we don't know.

They expect pre-orders without putting out the system requirements, how dumb is that!

[soul like that be capable of]

i will pre order game once they post req . i want to see size of game what do i need to play it ok 4k with DLSS
