Can my AMD Athlon II X4 640 Processor run this?
I thinking about buying this game and most of my pc spec is above the requirements, but my CPU doesn't seems to reach the requirements needed.
Does anyone know if it should be ok to run this game with the specs I have?
My CPU is an AMD Athlon II X4 640 Processor.
My Ram is 8 GB and my graphic card is an AMD Radeon R9 380 series.

Did it work for you??
I have the same CPU and i get error -92 every time I try to launch the game. And it's from a steam family share which might be the reason, but some people say its not

Please try the demo, it gives you a rough idea of the game's expected performance, some levels later on are a bit more demanding.

This game is very GPU intensive and only moderately so on the CPU.
I run a Phenom II X4 955 @ 4.0GHZ (stock 3.2) on Ultra with Nightmare textures on a GTX1060

I have 60+ FPS at all times. I'd expect you to run something like Medium with some settings on High or above. Happy gaming!

My suggestion also for a cheap upgrade is to grab a Phenom II X4 955 or higher if you can, they should be fairly cheap now. Please look into the Black Edition as well, because it is very easy to overclock them.

If your motherboard is AM3+ please look into a FX8530 instead of a Phenom. It is about the best bang for your buck in terms of AMD gaming at the moment. Anything else? Wait until Zen or move onto Intel, even a I5 3600k will be a beast for most games right now.

Wow, that's a really big post, thanks a lot man!
A while ago I upgraded to R7 370 4GB. Also I'm saving for top products, gonna buy an i7 6700K and Asus B150 PRO GAMING D3 LGA1151. Today I bought a HAF X case :D RIP 230$ lol T_T

I hope you're not gonna spend 230$ for each piece while buying a R7 370 4GB. The GPU is the most important piece if you are a gamer.

That case could have been a 100 dollars case. You could have transferred that 130$ extra to the GPU instead.

When you tell people you are saving for the top product we think you talk about the titan pascal or the gtx 1080. Not a R7 370 at 250 bux.

Please tell me you won't be buying a 200 dollars keyboard and a 150 dollars mouse :P

Cause the R7 370 I bought waay before I had a job. it's really hard finding a job over here. but now since I got a somewhat stable job, I can work hard and save big money. Also I'm no in a hurry to buy a new gpu 1 cause my cpu is waay worse since i upgraded my gpu already 2 for the R9 390 8GB i'm aiming for I'll need a new PSU. I currently got an old 500W psu

Skylake 6700k, R9 390 8GB, 16GB DDR4. That's pretty decent if you go for that :)

I already got 16GB RAM :D Though I'm gonna upgrade to 32GB somewhen lol. SO many times while I'm in chrome (i'm a proud tabs hoarder) it says "not enough ram, please close some tasks" XD

Increase your Virtual Memory (Pagefile) that will fix that.
