most likly not but probably possible with a decent graphics card and adaquate ammount of ram

probably only veeery slooow my pc is a little bit over the minimum and i can only play on sh*tty graphics ;D 8i dont know the specs but its a 300 € pc only...)
Wit Jun 16, 2018 @ 4:27am 
i have 4 gb ram and some sh*tty integrated gpu

Well thanks for the answers, not gonna take that gamble 😂

maybe it'll run at lowest quality settings at 640x480 windowed. No guarantees tho.

no it wont i tell you that :P ive experience...
Did you go to the steam store and scroll down to read the system requirements for the game before asking your question? No, you did not. If you did you wouldn't of made this thread. So here, I'll copy the system requirements for you:

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

If you see the processors, it's listed as requiring a i5-2500K or an AMD Athlon x4. These are both 4-core processors, 4 physical cores. An i3 only has 2 physical cores. Therefore your system does -NOT- meet the minimum requirements to play the game. You can not play PCBS.

Or maybe you did read this and didn't understand what the requirements meant.

you cant read either: he said it doesnt meet the minimum

Then no they can't play it. If it doesn't meet the minimum, then you can't run it. It's simple.

I'm sure it is somehow possible to play this game even with a computer not much below the minimum system requirements, but the result won't be much satisfying.

A system upgrade is highly recommened to play this game.

By the way, it doesn't matter if the cpu has 2 or 4 cores. My notebook has a i5-3210M and can run this game, although it meets the cpu requirements it has only 2 physical cores but 2 threads per core.

That's not the same thing and you know it. Just because it has 4 threads does -NOT- mean it's equal to a quad core processor. An Intel Core-I3 is not a quad core. This game requires a quad core processor. It's right there in the -MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS-, as in, -REQUIRED- to run the game. That's generally why those are posted.

Doesn't mean it has to be a quad core.
I'm sure you didn't test every dual core system.
My notebooks cpu isn't a quad core and yet it still can run this game.

Specs are...
cpu: i5-3210M (2c/4t) over minimum, but still dual core even if it has 4 threads
ram: 8GB
gpu: HD 4000 cpu-integrated (uses vram from shared system ram)

I'm sorry but you're wrong.
And in the case of the thread-creators problem, i already said, it's recommened to upgrade for this game. It might work, but wouldn't make fun playing because of unpredictable behavior which could occur.

And you actually can play at 1080p with no frame drops? And it's a smooth 60 FPS minimums everywhere in the game?

http://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-HD-4000-Mobile-125-GHz-vs-Nvidia-GTX-660-Ti/m7653vs2183

Your GPU is -636% below the minimum GPU specified for this game. There's no way that thing can even offer any kind of enjoyable playing experience.

There's no doubt it could probably run it but I'm sure it would be so slow and ugly that there'd be no point. Just because you can run it does not mean it's playable. If you're stumbling around at 15~20 FPS, it's not worth even bothering at that point.

Some people don't need 1080p. I'm betting said laptop only has a 1366x768 panel. And even then I'll bet he's playing it at windowed 640x480 with everything turned down to low. Hey, whatever works for him I guess.

That's just sad... that's really sad. I mean I could understand not playing in 1080p or a lower resolution but if you have to crank everything down to minimums and play with crappy graphics that's just... doesn't that get depressing? Every time you play the game it's just a constant reminder that you're too poor to afford a proper gaming computer to run it properly. That's what I meant that sometimes it's better off not playing at all.
