What is the true requirement for 7days to die.

[Torroc]

Ok So i have been haveing some issues with the crashing, I can go to small camps an maby small buildings but 10 min in it will crash by its self or if i get next to a big town, I now my hardware makes the required specs but What is the True requirement for the os, I was just told it was 64, SO that that mean those of us who are too poor for a 64 bit OS are ♥♥♥♥♥♥?

Well im playing on a packard bell easynote TM87 i3 2000mhz 3gb ram onboard intel HD graphics but im playing on low settings so SPEPHER it looks like im lucky to even be able to play then??

[Torroc]

Well im runing 8 gigs of ram. an amd phenom 2 x4 965 processor 3.40 ghz, windows professional 32 bit. Nivifia Geforce GTX 550 Ti. So i souldnt have any issue playing this.

[Torroc]

-pinches the bridge of his nose- So what your telling me is, its more or less required to pay 90 bucks now just so i could play this...

So could u say that installing xp would be better for me use less recoures ???? and would i be any better off taking one 1.5gb ram stick out and replacing it with 4gb giving me 5.5gb ? will this help any more is it worth me spending on thatSPEPHER ?

I'd say, the real requirements for 7DTD are something like:

-PC... no mac, mac is for business use, not gamers.
-quad core 3.2 GHz processor or better
-8 GB or more of RAM
-1GB video card, something produced after 2010 like the GTX line, or the HD 6880 or better
-A hard drive with a fast DTR (SSD's are dirt cheap now, and offer DTR's in the GB range)
-64 bit operating system.

--Make sure all drivers are up to date (visit their websites) Make sure you stop all the useless crap running in the background (print spooler, for example)
--Keep your system clean... daily disk optimization, malware scan, spyware scans, defragmentation of the drive, etc)
--stop trying to stream porn while you play.
--Make sure you eat your vegitables (vitamin A deficiency can cause vision problems, leading to "the game looks blurry" complaints.

Streaming porn thats where im going wrong lol :))))

Acyually, you might be able to upgrade the RAM in your laptop, and install windows 7 64 bit..... the problem is, you can't upgrade your video chip. Shared memory is always a horrible idea....

I'm sorry you have a laptop.... they are so limiting... if something goes wrong with my pc, I just pop out the component and install a new one :) win :)

sorry for not saying i have windows 7 and 64bit but ony 3gb ram

[Lenkdrache]

so you could conceivably upgrade your RAM :) who knows, that might fix your problems :)

[Steplayz-gaming Youtube Creator]

yes iv done all the above what im going to do i think is buy a 4gb stick or ram see how that goes

This may help improve your proformance by a little bit
1. go into task manager
2. disable any bloatware (stuff that came preloaded on your laptop and does nothing but use up space)
3.scan your pc for malware and other harmfull software and delete them

This game is very CPU dependend, my i5-3450 runs into a limit from the beginning and the frames are then below 30.

Also remember this game is nowhere near complete. Once Random Map Generation, NPC Questing, Skilltrees, Vehicles, and a more dynamic zombie AI are implemented, the requirements to run the game will continue to climb, forcing far more of the low-end machines to be incompatible, even after they optimize the performance of the game.

7 Days to Die is geared towards the present generation of games, even though it's current state performs more like the generation before. The game as-is is only a skeleton of what's coming in future updates, and is only one of many "8gb Memory" "64-bit-only" "Quad-Core" based games being developed/released in the coming 2-3 years. Unless you want to only play the occasional low-end-friendly indie game, it's time to upgrade the equipment.

Just as a large number of commercial PCs and Macs were behind the times when Xbox 360 and PS3 were released, we're at a generational gap in hardware, and it is the time to consider saving for hardware upgrades instead of buying more games.

-sighs- thats what its looking like

You bought an ALPHA product. There are NO true requirements yet., If you don't understand that, I suggest you stay away from anything with the blue Early Access markings.

Playing on Windows 32bit, you are limited to using 3.0-3.3 GB of RAM max.
Video cards that share system memory subtract from that total.


Code and memory usage will improve as the game progresses, but the full optimization stages are much further along in a normal development cycle so I'd not expect them anytime soon. That is not to say The Fun Pimps can't do such sooner than a normal development cycle, just setting a more realistic expectation.

Technically you *can* get more RAM in use with a 32-bit Windows OS, but you need to modify the kernel with a patch and boot into that modified environment. It will allow Windows to see more than the 4gb, and applications will be able to use a full 2gb without any contention.

Easy enough to Google the process, but I'd recommend upgrading the OS to a true 64-bit regardless. It's just a much cleaner and better thing to do.

If you can't/won't do either, there is always a Windows Clean Boot you can try. It boots up Windows with minimal stuff running, so you can launch Steam and the game afterwards and have as much memory free as possible with your current setup. Easy to Google that too - first result.

Ultimately I think due to the game's open-world nature and the number of items we'll be dealing with, a 64-bit OS will probably be required. Best choice would be to bite the bullet and upgrade now. 7DTD won't be the only game in the next two years to require it either, so it's a good investment.
