System Requirements

[Dragnerok_X]

From what I hear this game is pretty old-computer friendly. While I think I'll wait a while until this slough of bugs is sorted out, was just wondering how well it might perform on my (fairly outdated) PC:

Intel Pentium Dual-Core 3.0GHz (2MB cache)
4GB DDR2 800
512MB 9800GT
Windows 7 Pro 64-bit
1600x900 monitor

Bugs? There only a really small percent of people that have bugs (that a guid to fix it i already set up). The only bugs that have all player is the problem with the save function. So this game is pretty bug free.

Look at store page min reqs. You meet them. Meaning you may encounter slow downs with a huge town. I'd guess.

I'm sorry, but I can never trust "minimum" requirements, as some devs write them to mean: "With this setup, you should be able to get a solid 20 fps at 640x480".

Oh wow, that was much less than I expected, thanks for that. Further proof that the words "minimum" and "recommended" need to be abolished from system requirements listings.

Even the (almost archaic) 6600GT has 128MB of VRAM, so nope, sorry. A similar game that would probably run well on your system is Stronghold/Stronghold Crusader. (You can get it on GOG pretty cheaply: http://www.gog.com/game/stronghold_crusader)

If your GPU is an Intel HD4000, yes it runs on it, in DX9 mode and at least AA disactivated.

Edit: it runs pretty well on my HD4000. But I also have a GTX675mx on the laptop.

Ah yes, I forgot to look into the laptop's specs. Even if he decides to go for Banished, my Stronghold recommendation still stands. :D
