System specs, yeah RIGHT

**Medieval Assassin** · 09-08-2004, 00:02

Yup Well I just ran the game like a dream on a...

500mhz P3
192mb ram
64 MB Radeon 9000

With everything turned down, BUT THE GAME IS STILL EYE CANDY!

Which is way under miniums, Even when I'm zoomed in on 100-200 units fighting, No lag.
This is great, This is great, this is great.
Oh man I was so worried.

So there you go, if your system is as good or worse then this, it might still run

Congrats!

Yes, they did an amazing job of gracefully degrading the graphics quality. I ran a test on a 1Mhz Athlon processor, w/256 Mb RAM and a Radeon 7000. Got about 30 fps with a 1200-man battle, it was truly amazing.

Proof that RTW will kick ass.
Now we're gonna need to mod it....

CA have done a fantastic job with the optimisation for this game. I'm running it everything on with my ageing Ti4200 64Mb, and it's as smooth as silk. It runs better on my system that MTW does, amazingly-I used to get quite severe mouse lag on that.

A CA dev said recently that it can theoretically run all the way down to a P2 - but it won't be the greatest framerates.

**Medieval Assassin** · 09-08-2004, 02:15

Yup, Mine runs better then MTW also. Wierd. MAN THE CAV PWN.
Ha, been playing for the last 5 hours...

whoa! how'd you dig up a 1 Mhz processor? Damn that's slow!

**Doug-Thompson** · 09-08-2004, 03:09

I'm anxious to see how the computer handles the strategy map.

Years ago, the tactical battles on MTW ran fine on an old computer of mine, but the strategic map wouldn't. It was weird. It was a video-card problem, not a processor problem, though.

**USMCNJ** · 09-08-2004, 04:03

i had the same problem (with the st map)
to all of you with low specs that run RTW smoothly, i really hate you guys.
i have 2.4 ghz p4, 512 Ram. Raden 7500 mobile 32 MB, and my frame rate is so bad that it feels like i'm on aced when i play the game.
i ended up spending $800 on a new pc.
so to all you lucky people, i really hate you all. (i'm actually very jelous.)

**Basileus** · 09-08-2004, 10:07

hhm thats strange i couldnt even run STW properly on my old P3 heh

dont be mate. peoples idea of "running like a dream" varies massively

im running RTW on a

4ghz Pentium4
NVIDIA 6800GT@ULTRA speeds
1gb OCZ 3700EB @ 250mhz 3,2,2,7

and it cerainly isnt running "like a dream", in fact, it runs so shoddily for such a high spec comp i havent played the demo since the first day. They need to get this game properly optimised asap. And no... the game going between 27-50 fps is NOT "smooth as silk", at least not as far as im concerned.

Glad to see you got your hands on the demo... sorry I couldn't help after all!

My burner is still shot! Stupid two-year-old!

**KyodaiSteeleye** · 09-08-2004, 13:23

Well, i have an AMD600, 32mb ATI Rage and 256meg RAM, and the game crashes to the desktop before battle setup, so unless there's some other reason, i think there is an issue here with specs.
