Title: system requirements
Post by: Vyeyendra on April 27, 2005, 08:54:21 am
i got the following specs:

750 Mhz amd athlon thunderbird
392 mb ram
XFX GForce FX 5200 (latest update)
Direct X 9.0
Maxtor Hadd with 7200 RPM with 8 mb cache

And i must say. The game runs sometimes good and sometimes bad. SO thats why i ordered a 512 mb ram module to increase the speed (sadly i have to remove one 128 mb ram module)

1) I Can walk good in the game but i have some lag sometimes. Can this be solved with the 512 mb ram module?

2) Also i got ADSL. (i used to have 8 mb download speed, now it is 700 kb download)  Is it enough to play PS flawless? Or do i need some more upgrade?

I also got 2 more and last questions:

3) Is it possible to actually SIT on a chair in the tavern and then chat?
4) And is it going to be possible to actually OWN a house and have a work for a living?
( For instance, one could own a tavern and actually becoem a \"bartender\" While doing that, the supplies needs to be ordered by another player who creates that beer etcetc)
Or am i dreaming too far now? :)

Thanx for awnsering my questions, And i want to thank again the 2 people who gave me 2 free swords :), This makes the game more fun to play. =)

More memory will certainly not hurt.

The network requirements of PS are not that big. People even play it over modem connection with little problems.

We have some plans in that direction. Not for the near future though.

1) Yes, more memory will be good- I have 512 and only have teh occasional issue, especially if i keep going between zones. with 768 you mgiht be able to use load_all_maps which will help out a bit. But it will take longer to load the first time.

2) connection speed doesn\'t matter

3) No sitting for a while, they have lots to work on

4) yes you are dreaming :)
