Those minimum requirements sure seem mild when you consider the graphics.
The 11 GB are a lot though. Then again, a good HD is pretty cheap. :) And also a good thing that the game is comming out on a DVD, I hated playing DJ with Rome. :)
EDIT: And I have already upgraded my pc, just for M2TW. How fanboy-ish is that? :D

Eleven gigs? Holy porn deletion Batman, that's a hell of a lot of space!

Also, maybe this could get stickied ?
This has to be the single most asked question, second only to the ''when is the game going to be released'' question of course.
:bow:
:balloon2:
Eleven gigs? Holy porn deletion Batman, that's a hell of a lot of space!Its not that much space really an 80gig HD costs around $60 where I live another $30 and you can have 200gig.
It is large in comparison to other games.

Merely that space is plentiful seems to cause developers to take more and more. And this is before the mods of course!
Is all attempts at opimisation forsaken to get the game out quicker?
And yes graphic requirements are low, but the lower end probably has most if not all of the fancy new features turned off. (Not that eye candy is the biggest factor in me playing the series mind you).

11GB would be the biggest game i've ever seen (that's 2 dual layer dvd's or 3 standard dvd's!!)
however, consider that every unit now has multiple textures, and the assasination movies and stuff would take up a lot of space too if they didn't license like DivX or something
also not having those resources compressed and encrypted ensures CA won't have to release in-house tools to allow modding them
rory_20_uk
10-01-2006, 13:11
Some small tools to decompress would be a good idea IMO. However popular mods are, the majority are users with the minority actively tinkering. Even then, many focus on certain areas so would only need to decompress small areas of the game.
Having cutscenes on the same disk that is required in the drive might also reduce the size if the video compression is bad.

That's a good point. Every cloud has a silver lining I guess.
also not having those resources compressed and encrypted ensures CA won't have to release in-house tools to allow modding them
if this proves to be the reason i will be a very happy man.

Will it come on 2 DVDs, though or do they manage to compress it enough to squeeze it on 1? And, as an external HD n00b, I wonder if it makes any differences wether the game's installed on a normal IDE HD or on a USB one?
That's a lot of porn that will be deleted on the day of release :shame:
Lol I think they should release it on cd just for a laugh, thatd be what, a gazillion cds?
Well they released the layout of the MTW2 Special edition pack before.
It should 2 game disks and the special bonus disks with movies you get, out of that you could see you needed about 10 gigs

-And so it was, the angels fell from the heaven, singing their holy choruses. And this day would be forever marked, as the day I knew I could play the game.-
I still have 323 GB of free space. RTW has been kind to me. It has kept me amused for so long, that I have few other games cluttering m hard-drives.
And about the disk number...That is going to be...roughly...9-10 disks.
Which isn't that bad, Black and White 2 had like...seven disks, but I got through that with the help of a second window up.
"That's a lot of porn that will be deleted on the day of release."

What would be nice is to have a MTW2 lite without all the crap that I never watch and wish I could turn off. 11GB! Talk about bloatware!
Mount Suribachi
10-01-2006, 18:42
I wonder if 11Gb is for the full install?
Then again, since they tend to deliberately under-report the min specs in order to maximise sales, I'm wondering if there is no option other than full install? Maybe to cut down on internet piracy? By the time you've d'loaded 11GB you could've earned several days wages ~;)
Well considering that the specs CA was aiming for was higher then this I think the game is well-optimised.
Really the only thing that is high is the harddrive space.
The rest is lower.

true, but at least i know i can play the game now and i may upgrade my graphic card but i dont need to :D. Im happy now. i also have 193 GiGz free space :)
Sun of Chersonesos
10-01-2006, 18:49
perhaps we're fooling ourselves, perhaps it's less than that but just requires that amount or more to play. relatively, it could also mean that you require 11GB of space after u DL it
I take it that this is the minimum reqs.
Sun of Chersonesos
10-01-2006, 18:52
indeed can you imagine what it would be like if they said the max reqs? it would be useless infromation to us and probably wont have a max!

No, when they state HD space that's the space it will have once install on your harddrive.

Let's compare RTW to these settings.
Also minimum specs
Processor: 1GHz
256MB RAM
64MB 3D accelerator
8xCD-ROM
2.9GB free disk space
So people shouldn't really worry

Hummm.....
Well it looks like I will be playing EB (rtw mod) for a good while. I have no plans in getting a new lattop.
Besides, I am sure that If i give MTWII a while there will be some Reality mods out there.
Excellent,I'll probably run the game on med settings :2thumbsup:

10-01-2006, 20:35
This is awesome I agree.
Trust me people you'd much rather have to buy some memory for a few bucks, then a $300 graphics card, or even worse, a whole new motherboard.
Regardless this is good news for most I think. 11 gigs is alot of space, hard to imagine a game that big.
Soulflame
10-01-2006, 21:22
Jey! Finally a use for all that harddisk space that I'm not using :p.
Mild requirements, as they promised. I'm happy, although I might upgrade anyway to see all the fine details better.
11GB would be max used during install.
It's not uncommon for game installs to require much more space for install than actual space used after install.
These are min specs ie running with most options at minimums & I wouldn't want to try running RTW on a PC with that specs...
I'd like to see their Recommended spec for M2TW but I'm pretty sure I'll be just fine.
AussieGiant
10-01-2006, 22:19
Hoom touched on my next thought.
Oookey, so if these are the Minimum Specs...what are the recommended specs??
I personally think when they publish the recommended specs, then a few people will see their toe nails curl. :inquisitive:
I'd say;
2Ghz processor
1Gig ram
256mb Graphics card.
As for HD space...well, they could make it 50 gig and it wouldn't make much difference.
Hell, 200 gig hards drives are less than 150 bucks.
Well I have 300GB so 11GB is nothing, my budget graphics card is the only problem, but on Low Graphics it should run fine.

if i have 64 mb that also doesnt support Vertex Shader and Video HW Transform & Lighting do you think i can play it? i dont care ill put 800x600 res, i just need to play it!
im scared.

10-01-2006, 23:29
Ereven!
Oh well, I'll have to delete like the twenty odd MODs I have for RTW.
As already stated, I would much prefer the recommended specs along side the min. Guess I'll have to wait though.
The Spartan (Returns)
10-01-2006, 23:34
i still have 121 GB so space is certainly not a prob.
if i have 64 mb that also doesnt support Vertex Shader and Video HW Transform & Lighting do you think i can play it? i dont care ill put 800x600 res, i just need to play it!
im scared.
If it doesn't support vertex shaders or hardware T&L then no, I think it won't work full stop, not even on very low settings. The minimum req. is a shader-capable card you see... :no:
Polemists
10-02-2006, 00:08
I say wait, for those of you wondering I would say wait till demo. if you can run demo great, if not some of you may be forced to go get a new graphics card.

10-02-2006, 00:57

Shit. 11GB per install. Thats alot of space especially considering us modders will definitly be having multiple installs. I know harddrives are relatively cheap but damn. Thats like 4 times the size of RTW and i thought that took up a pretty substantial amount of space.
Doug-Thompson
10-02-2006, 04:32
Hmmmm. The impact on unit sizes is my main concern. Hard drives spaces is waaaaaay down the list.
In comparison with RTW, these specs require 50 percent more processing power, twice the memory and four times the graphics power.

Official Nvidia site puts that at just at the min spec Sega released. I have a 6150. I get the feeling that if we want to turn the graphics options or unit sizes up, we'll both need new cards...

Na, I think a default sized unit size would be good enough for me.
On the side note, man the game looks like a real battle. We'll see how the gameplay really is when it gets released, where the true colours of this game gets leaked.

I am curious just what price range graphics card I'll need to see it at level I see in the game play movies. O well if nothing else a new video card when christmas comes if i save :idea2:
Well for me it would mean a new PC. I could probably get away with a new graphics card, and I need a new HDD anyway, but I have no doubt I'd be running the game on the lowest detail, smallest units etc, so it's not worth it. No M2TW for me for the forseeable future, but I sort of guessed that anyway.
2Ghz processor
1Gig ram
256mb Graphics card.
Hmm. My comp is about at those specs, and almost two years old. I think we'll need something nastier.

my best guess is that a 7900GS would be able to play M2:TW at:
> 1680x1050
> Max visual settings
> 4x AA
with a steady 30fps
to get 30fps on a 1280x1024 screen with Max settings and no AA i reckon a 7600GT would be fine.

Wandarah, now why would you post something like that? I mean, the guy was simply amazed at the amount of space the game takes up. You actually posted simply to put him down? You didn't even comment on the game.
Now This is OT but lately there has been alot of this, not just from you, but from alot of new Orgahs and it reminds me of the way the .com has turned out. Perhaps we could all just remind ourselves that not everyone wishes to start cyber posting wars. So perhaps you could think about that next time yoy feel the urge to go out of you're way and put someone down, howver overt you belive it to be I can still pick up on it.

I've noticed this myself. In fact I was recently picked up on one of my less than responsible posts lately, so I am not blameless. :shame:
Anyone know how you can check how fast your DVD-player is ??
I have looked everywhere but see no speed.
It is usualy on the label on top of the drive. If not look for a model number and try googling that. Most DVD drives are between 12 or 16 speed, unless you bought it years ago then it may be an 8 speed (slowest DVD drive I've encountered).
Well that's a definately new computer then! Whilst my processor and RAM are sufficient I lack a capable graphic card and HDD space (...and that's after deleting loads of Porn recently!).
If I've got to spend £100+ GBP on a new graphic card and another £60-£100 on more HDD space I may as well spend another £100 on a fully new PC.
....hmmmm...now how much credit do I have on my flexible friend?
If I can't play this game at 1600x1200 with maxed setting I'm not gonna be happy. I've just upgraded in time for this one and I'm not one to turn the settings down ;) I like to play a game as the designers intended for maximum impact :D
You think an FX-55, X1900XT and 2Gb of RAM will do it, or am I gonna have to go CrossFire? :dizzy2:

The FX-55 is a bit weak compared to other even-priced processors.

11GB is a lot of space.
I have 106GB left, so it might be time to get a new drive.
11GB would allow for about 4-5 installs. Not a lot when you take into account modding.

With RTW you generally had to have a complete copy for each mod, which at 11 GB a go will eat disk space. I hope with M2TW you can install a mod just by supplying the files that differ from the base install.
With RTW you generally had to have a complete copy for each mod, which at 11 GB a go will eat disk space.
I had the same thought - immediately working out how many M2TW mods I could simultaneously install!
I have tried the mod-swapper JSGME but at least with IBFD, it causes me a world of pain (may be an issue with IBFD rather than JSGME).
Don't mistake 11Gb for the amount of space taken up by the game - it isn't:dizzy2:
11Gb is the maximum space taken up by the install routine during installation. the total diskspace for the game, once installed will be much less :2thumbsup:

I'm wondering how you come by this assumption? I note that RTW required 300MB of free space yet takes up nearly 2.5GB.

yes, Nathanael, this killed it for me as well. i do not see people whining about it but this is the first time in the tw series that pre-win2000 are not supported. i was going to try the demo to make sure i could not play the game, but now i won't even try. i can not afford a new computer just to play the game. maybe next year.

Yeah, I'm definitely not shelling out the cash for Win XP when Vista is right around the corner. My computer otherwise would run the game just fine. I can't understand why it'd be so hard for CA to make it playable on Win98; it's the same engine as RTW after all.
I tried to post a topic in the .com forums in hopes a CA rep might see it, but some close-happy mod closed it because he couldn't see the use of the thread. If it's really that useless, why not just let it die? It's not like there was a useless flame war they needed to stop.

What concerned me are how big will be the MODS when M2TW requires 11GB of space. It's even worse than LotR 2! Mods will be over 1 GB! Who will download that?! Not to mention if somebody want to have more mods in computer. :dizzy2:
Yikes. I'm definitely going to have to upgrade. Good thing I was already planning on doing so (Medieval 2 notwithstanding). ~;)
Ironically, the only thing I *wouldn't* necessarily have to replace (although I probably will anyway) is my video card. Everything else needs to go, however!

Although my machine meets or exceeds these specifications in every respect it will NOT play Rome at high detail with large units while providing smooth frame rates at all times. This means that there is no chance that M2:TW will play smoothly unless I take the graphics down to the most basic level. Ugh.
I need a new mainboard, CPU, memory, and GPU. In other words, I will need to build a new machine from scratch.

I just looked into the discussion at TWC and it seems
that the initial specs posted would need to be updated.
It's not sufficient to have a 1.5 Ghz CPU or higher, it also needs to support
SSE2, which my CPU, an AMD Duron 1.8 obviously doesn't. :wall:
Readme says that "The processor must support SSE2" and from wiki these CPUs dont work with it
* AMD Athlon
* AMD Athlon XP / MP
* AMD Duron
* AMD Sempron (Socket A versions)
* Intel Pentium II Xeon
* Intel Pentium III Xeon
* Intel Pentium II
* Intel Pentium III
* Intel Celeron (Slot 1, Socket 370)
* Intel Itanium
* Intel Itanium 2
I'd need a new motherboard and CPU at least. You better forget the min. specs altogether if you want to run it smoothly it seems, better aim for the fastest rig you can possibly afford. :no:
* AMD Athlon 64
* AMD Athlon 64 X2
* AMD Opteron
* AMD Sempron (Socket 754/939/AM2 versions only)
* AMD Turion 64
* Intel Pentium 4
* Intel Pentium D
* Intel Pentium EE
* Intel Pentium M
* Intel Celeron (Socket 478 versions only)
* Intel Celeron D
* Intel Celeron M
* Intel Core Solo/Duo
* Intel Core 2 Solo/Duo/Extreme
* Transmeta Efficeon
* Intel Xeon
* Via C7
these do work, so that list doesn't really specify, the newer athlon 64 works normally
They will also have a CD version on sale too right?

Oh well release date is of no importance to me then. IMO this is quite a few lost sales, just from coments about about the golden eras. Sure I'll get a DVD drive but it won't be until next year until I have one.
Did you know that the demo alone is 400+ megs? Just think about how much data is in the complete game. It just does not make economic sense to put it out on CDs.

You can pick a cheap one up for next to nothing in your local electronics store! If you really want the game, not buying such a cheap-and nowadays, essential-piece of equipment seems like an odd move.

I just looked into the discussion at TWC and it seems
that the initial specs posted would need to be updated.
It's not sufficient to have a 1.5 Ghz CPU or higher, it also needs to support
SSE2, which my CPU, an AMD Duron 1.8 obviously doesn't. :wall:
Readme says that "The processor must support SSE2" and from wiki these CPUs dont work with it
* AMD Athlon
* AMD Athlon XP / MP
* AMD Duron
* AMD Sempron (Socket A versions)
* Intel Pentium II Xeon
* Intel Pentium III Xeon
* Intel Pentium II
* Intel Pentium III
* Intel Celeron (Slot 1, Socket 370)
* Intel Itanium
* Intel Itanium 2
I'd need a new motherboard and CPU at least. You better forget the min. specs altogether if you want to run it smoothly it seems, better aim for the fastest rig you can possibly afford. :no:
This might well turn out to be the worst decision in PC gaming EVER
Expecting people to buy a new graphics card and maybe upgrade the RAM isnt supprising, its normal for most game releases but the processor? might as well buy a new comp! :wall: i cant believe we've hit a time when strategy games need an above average spec computer
lucky for me i have a turion + 512MB (soon to be 1024MB) of RAM, just got to hope that 64MB VRAM is enough for the game
I just hope my good old ATI Radeon 9600pro (256MB) will be able to handle it.
I can play Oblivion, so I guess it will be possible on low settings...

But what does mean this? :inquisitive:
"Most of the issues with the Athlon XP processor were fixed for the release version of the game, the single player game works fine but there are a few residual issues with multiplayer and as such we can’t officially support it."
Most of the issues? Does this mean not all? :inquisitive:
And the second part of the sentence:
"the single player game works fine but there are a few residual issues with multiplayer and as such we can’t officially support it."
Does it mean, that they don't support the multiplayer part?? Hmm I should take some english lessions. This sentence is suspect for me. Sounds like the start of RTW. After some days after the release, the multiplayer was playable (or it was possible to play :D ).
It means older Athlons will work in SP but not in MP. My guess is that its gonna be desync hell if you try.

Okay thank you. In my opinion, the Athlon XP are too slow for MP anyway.
This quite good. Took me a long time to find this thread lol. Anyway, that 11gb of space shouldn't be a problem, as well as the processor. I'm just worrying about the vidcard...
Btw, I just looked at my dxdiag and it said something like this:Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00Ghz. Does that mean that I have 2 CPU's inside the case? Oh, and would I be able to run it with 246mbRAM and a 64mb vidcard at low-med settings? I'm not a very techy person so any help would be appreciated..
