LOWER system requrements needed! | Forums

[xXxDSMer]

Can't make a free to play game that requires alot of computer to play. The people attracted to free to play games aren't going to have uber computers, and the ones that do have uber computers are going to have money to buy retail games or subscription games. Its ridiculous i can't run this game with AMD Radeon HD 6310 Graphics. It does run but the framerate is so crappy i can't do anything (and that's even with game booster turning off everything that isn't needed, nothing else running in the background, and tried all the way down to 800x600 resolution with low video quality)

Need to make more settings options so people with not so great computers can run this game, or somehow otherwise make it run better on older/smaller GPU's. The folks with crazy computers, in general, aren't F2P players. I know i wouldn't be if i made enough to afford a good computer and either retail box games or subscription games.

Bud i am not trying to burst your bubble or give you a ruff time. But in all honesty they probably couldn't dull this game down enough to play on that 6310. the 6310 is just as good or if not worse then intel HD 3000. You asking why to much of that card. If you can find yourself a cheap GPU that will work with your MOBO. Also GR:O is a lil processor heavy so that might be another issue for you.

Yes they need more graphics options.

The low settings for this game don't require more than a mediocre GPU. However please keep in mind that at this point in time there aren't very many supported GPU's. As the game is developed further the game will be optimized for more GPU's.

That said, the card you have is barely worthy of more than basic display output and video/movie display. It's not designed to handle ANY kind of gaming.

Please note also, that this is one of the few games being built in DirectX 9, so that those who choose to use XP can play. I can't think of another major studio out there that does that.

For 3D processing, the Radeon HD 6310 is about 25% slower than the nVidia Geforce 6600 GT, which was released circa 2004. Assuming that your computer is not a laptop, you can find GPUs that run 10 times faster for less than $100. Maybe even under $50, if you look for used models.

Yes they need more graphics options.

Should the requirements be lowered or more options put in so more people can play?

I would rather say "so the game runs smoother".
The engine is not that bad IMO, but certain aspects definitely need some tuning, like anti-aliasing and the badly-coded vertical sync that I can't seem to be able to properly disable.

BUT, I'd rather have them fix server issues first.
