Hey there all.
I got up at 3 in the morning here in the States to download this thing and begin testing it out and whatnot. I repeatedly checked the specs beforehand to be sure I had the requirements needed, and I don't really mine playing at paltry settings so long as I can actually play it. Unfortunately I, like many others, have run into a graphical hitch problem. I've done all I can in researching the forum in order to amend these problems, but to no avail it seems. I have downloaded the beta drivers and made sure that the 3D thing is not in them, so I've eliminated that as an issue.
Now, before I post my specs, I remind you that I said I don't mind that it goes at bare minimum. I even turned it DOWN from lowest settings to the bare bottom and still thought the game looked grand. The problem here is that, after doing more research, I cannot for the life of me find out why my computer is seemingly incapable of running it at even such low settings. I know what the required specs are:
· OS: Windows XP SP2 / Windows Vista SP2 / Windows 7 (32/64-bit)
· Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.2 Ghz or AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+
· Memory: 1 GB Windows XP / 2 GB Windows Vista and Windows 7
· Video Card: 512 MB RAM, supporting Pixel Shader 3.0 (Nvidia GeForce 8800 or ATI Radeon HD3850)
These are my specs:
- OS: Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition 5.1
- Processor: Intel Core Duo CPU E8400 @ 3.00GHz
- Video Card: GeForce 9400 GT
Am I just missing something extremely obvious in this equation? It's not the memory, I guarantee you. Is this card that came out after the 8800 inferior to it simply because it was cheap to get?
