Demo?

[\1Crash master]

I own Car Mechanic Simulator 2015 and I like it enough to buy a sequel, but I'm not sure at all if I can run the game based on the provided hardware requirements. Is a demo planned for the game or not? I would like to try it first.

In case you're wondering about my setup:
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1
AMD Phenom II X4 965 / AMD FX-4130
8,00 GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 1 GB
(I've got two computers with identical setup except the CPU)

sorry there was no demo released of car mechanic simulator 2018. but i can tell you it is a great game

I'm sure it is but I'm not buying anything unless I'm sure I can run it well.

By the way, GTX 660 2GB as a minimum is way too much for a game like this. I know that even that card is outdated by today's standards but it's not like all people have extraordinary computers. This should be a game for relax, accessible for average users with average computers.

Due to software mouse and smoothing of cursor and movement the game needs a much better computer without that crap.
It would run good on my Lap with 2,4 GHz i7 and GT 540M, but laggy smoothing makes the positioning of the cursor nearly impossible.
Driving on the airfield at high speeds is really no problem with the Lap.

Thanks for the info but still, it's better to see once than hear a hundred times. Not buying anything unless I can try this for free. Why are demos so rare these days? It used to go without saying back in the day.

Technically you can buy the game and refund it before playing for more than two hours if it doesn't work to your satisfaction.

Game devs stopped making demos because people would try the demo and then not buy the game. With no demo, you have to buy the game to try it, and then if you didn't like it or your machine couldn't run it, you were SOL. That's less of an issue now with Steam's refund policy, but I still wouldn't buy a game just to see if I like it, because 2 hours just isn't enough time.

You might manage to play this on a resolution that is lower than the standard 1920X1080P. Typically many modern games are being set up to use 2GB video RAM for better texture usage.

To play 1080P titles going forward expect to see more games using the 2GB video RAM as a base.

As as already been suggested try the game and see if it will run - if you find your hardware is struggling then refund it before 2 hours of play.
