Nyarlathotep Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 I warned you guys.. here's a post from an Beta tester (I know, things may improve, but I have serious doubts that'll happen):Henl86 Board Veteran Member # 2890 Member Rated: posted December 11, 2002 08:32 AM --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Considering it runs BADLY on my system on 800x600 resolution you need a state of the art machine imo. If they don't make it run twice as well in the retail that is.I got a:Amd xp 2100 :O512 mb ddr ram :OAsus Geforce 4 ti4200 with 128 mb ddr ram :OAll drivers are updated. I get lousy fps, and when you start to get a lot of tanks it slows down to a crawl.--------------------LLtRLong Live the Rush--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Posts: 754 | Registered: Oct 2002 | IP: Logged Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gryphon Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 I know a guy with roughly the same specs [ only an Intel P4 ] who couldn't play the demo either.It is supposed to be a great game, but untill now I'm just waiting patiently.[ That reminds me of the Doom 3 demo they had on the E3, that things if totally not playable on any PC. ;D Or they made a really big mistake in that beta demo ] ::) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anathema Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 Well that does it. Now I'm definitely not going to get Generals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gryphon Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 He !It's just the first demo, don't get knocked off so fast ;)The final release version could be much better. [ emphasise on could ;) ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anathema Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 When was the release date again?Anyway, Ra2 and TS were louzy IMHO and I don't expect to like Generals either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acriku Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 generals should be put on xbox so anyone could play it! Woo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terror Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 yeah.. don't worry.. they would not even think of releasing a game with system requirements that high..believe me.. in the end the minimum will be like 800 mhz or something...

Acriku Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 About as fast as a Pentium 4 2100. (1.8-1.9 ghz) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khan Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 Wohoo I have better than that. ;D ;D ;D*sob*It'll still probably run rubbishly though :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyarlathotep Posted December 11, 2002 Author Share Posted December 11, 2002 yeah.. don't worry.. they would not even think of releasing a game with system requirements that high..believe me.. in the end the minimum will be like 800 mhz or something... I'm a 100% sure that the minimum specs will be lower. Question is, how will the game run on minimum specs ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gryphon Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 Don't forget that no one want to run a game in minimun specs.I played Hitman 2 in minimun specs just after I got the first demo to see what it looked like, and emidiately realised why I never look at a game in minimun spec. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyarlathotep Posted December 11, 2002 Author Share Posted December 11, 2002 Here's another post, a bit more optimistic, but he's got better specs (watch what he says when a nuke hits):FIJIMAN Trainee (newbie) Member # 7313 Member Rated: posted December 11, 2002 08:45 AM --------------------------------------------------------------------------------I'm sure (or should say really really hope) Generals will get optimized as far as performance. I have a P4 2.26 768Ram and a Geforce 3 original and normally get 30 fps. Thats ok as far a playability but when a nuke hits, forget it, I go down to like 5 fps. I run UT2K3 flawlessly and thats a First person shooter with constant action and tons of eyecandy. I average 50 fps on that game. So to answer the question, unless they will optimize the crap out of this MPTP, then the minimun specs are half what you really need.--------------------Am I Too Old To Be Playing These Games?--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Posts: 170 | Registered: Oct 2002 | IP: Logged Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anathema Posted December 13, 2002 Share Posted December 13, 2002 This sucks, but minimum IQ requirements for Generals will probably be around 40 or something ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
