This guy really needs this game, then he would understand what he needs to run games lol

Seriously, that term has been thrown around WAY too much the PC players these days. Learn what it means to ACTUALLY optimize a game vs hardware expectation. FFS.

I am currently gaming on a G4600 with HD 630 integrated graphics along with an 8 gigs DDR4 memory. If I can hit 30 fps with all low settings and on 1600x900 on a game like Witcher 3 but can't on this game, it means it is poorly optimized. So, kindly shut the ♥♥♥♥ up and learn what it ACTUALLY means to optimize a game before telling others to do so.

Head to the steam store page and scroll down some and read:

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
MINIMUM:
OS: Windows 7 or higher
Processor: Intel Core i5-2500K or AMD Athlon X4 740 (or equivalent)
Memory: 4 GB RAM
Graphics: GeForce GTX 660 (2048 MB) or Radeon R9 285 (2048 MB) - Integrated GPUs may work but are not supported.
DirectX: Version 9.0c
Storage: 4 GB available space
Sound Card: DirectX compatible

It's stated right there in black and white: You require an actual dedicated video card to play this game. Intel HD graphics is not a video card. If you don't have a video card and you're still whining about low FPS then apparently you just can't read, or maybe you just actually don't understand what "MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS" means. "MINIMUM" means you -MUST- have -AT LEAST- this hardware to play the game. If you don't have it, don't play it. It's that simple.

This game already runs perfectly fine as-is, as long as you have hardware that meets the minimum requirements. No one is going to "Optimize" anything, and this game is not "Unoptimized". It's just because you're playing on hardware below the required specs. The problem is you, not the game.

I assume that making each letter on the keys of the keyboards a 3d object is called optimization for you :steamhappy:, but textures and uv meshes could have been pretty much the same and could have potentially dropped the minimum VRAM to 1 Gig :3

Yes they could have but they're not going to dumb down the game to run on someone's old potato computer. Next I bet you think GTA-V is unoptimized just because it won't run on a 8 year old computer, or Fornite is unoptimized because it won't run on a dual core from 2004. That's your logic.

Games post system requirements, meet the requirements or don't play, how hard is that for folks to understand?

Funnily enough, the vast world of GTA V requires lower specs than the small room of PCBS, being able to be ran on a 10 years old GPU. In that case, the game is optimized, and if your specs are below the minimum ones, guides like LowSpecGamer's can be useful in order to tweak a little bit down the game to your favour. But I don't really think that all of this "Tweaking and Modding" is your cup of tea, as a "low-specs friendly" mod can be easily made in order to help low-end fellas, broke students and young players wanting to hop into the PCMR.

BTW :

•First Mistake of yours : As Peter "Durante" Thoman, a highly-known developer said : "Good optimization means that the game works at the same framerate across a wide range of hardware specs, including low-end configurations."

•Second Mistake of yours : GTA V is optimized enough to run on a 9 years old cpu and a 10 years old GPU, contrary to what you think.

Third Mistake of yours : Fortnite can run on a old core 2 duo from 2008, even if it was released 9 years before the game c:

Now, before you go over it and continue to do your little queen and putting down people for fun in this forum, think twice and/or check facts, in order to valid your statements. Almost everyone who encountered you in here got fed up of you really fast, if we are all here to enjoy the game we should all discuss of it in peace and harmony, instead of discouraging all the poor player who cannot afford a GPU (who might not be old enough to work, you never know...) ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
The Modding Team of the PCBS Fanmade Discord Server (https://discord.gg/SGgtRkZ :steamhappy:) will try do develop an ultra low mode for the game. With that, good day/night, and Game on !

Whole bunch of words that mean nothing and try to "prove your side of an argument" in an internet discussion and then spam an advertisement for some fan-run non-official discord server in the end. Brilliant.

The whole problem is we've had people in here recently coming in to PCBS forums with 10 year old potato computers crying "WAH THIS GAME RUNS SLOW ON MY COMPUTER SO IT'S UNOPTIMIZED, MAKE IT RUN BETTER ON MY OLD SLOW POTATO".

No one's discouraging anyone. They should either go buy a proper computer to play the game and match the minimum specs like the rest of the world, or just keep crying about it on the forums, whatever floats their boat. Maybe if they cry on the forums enough someone will be nice enough and buy them a computer at random.

It's nice of you to have skipped over the discord sever link, where we WILL be creating content in order to help people run the game on their

The game could and will be optimized well, don't forget that we are still in E.A. and that devs are implementing stuff as a priority. It's funny how you critisize me for giving my arguments (the true ones) with absolutely no help at all at the end. My arguments being that either us or the devs could do something to optimize the game, and yours being putting down some "weeby kids" who cannot buy the high-end gpus at the time by suggesting them to bully and suck other people to buy them hardware. Isn't this making the forums worse ? Of course it does, so that you can answer them again and again in each of their posts c:

I'm pretty sure you skipped all the arguments debunking yours in my last message too, this is cool, it shows that average people who will type "pc building simulator optimization for low-end computer" will land on this post, will mostly read some of the messages, and their eyes will land on the link which will probably help them play the game :3.

Btw, minimum specs are most likely never respected, we aren't all 24yo and cannot always buy/build a good system, with your only argument being that they can gtfo and cry ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

I've found there's usually two kinds of folks that play PC games:

Someone with common sense that would think sort of like: "My computer isn't powerful enough to play this game because it doesn't meet the minimum requirements. I'll just have to wait until I upgrade later and then I could actually play it".

And then there are other people that are more like: "I know my computer is way too slow to run this game, but I'm going to try anyway." .. then get really low FPS and try to refund and realized they played more than 2 hours and can't get their money back and can't play the game they paid for and then: "I'm really mad it doesn't run on my old slow computer, I'm going to complain on the forums. Maybe if I complain enough they'll make it so it runs on my computer".

I per example preordered the game the game knowing my gpu was under the minimum specs, but the game is pretty enjoyable (30 to 50 FPS), that's one of the reasons that made me get some interest in modding/tweaking. I wanted to find or even create a solution to make my game smoother :).

This interest into modding leaded to me being the head of the best modders in the world (yet) of PCBS.

So I'll try to write the end of this message like your last one, a little bit more transparent tho ;) :






I've found there's usually two kinds of folks that play PC games:

Someone with common sense that would think sort of like: "Man, I wish I could run this game even at lowest settings, with relatively low FPS. I'm kinda broke this days so i cannot afford to get a decent GPU, need to eat this month ya know. Lemme look up for some help on the friendly forums"

And then there are other people that are like "lmao plebs still using gtx 550 y u tryin ur potato pc suks u dont deserve to play on pc u poor kid rofl get money xddddddd come on and cry while i preorder my 1180Ti :P because im riiiich and not uuuu so selll ur potatoe and get an old ps4 xDDDDD not part of PCMR if u dont have that moneiiii $$$$"

This thread is over a year old. I might suggest in the future you read the dates of the last post before replying to something. This discussion is old and mostly "Done" by now.
