PC requirements, falling short.

Hey,

I didn't see any other threads but the requirements is kinda hitting me. Basically I'm not a gamer but I do play FM on my laptop.

PC System Requirements

OS - Windows Vista or XP

Processor Speed - Vista - 2.0GHz, XP - 1.4GHz Memory - Vista - 1GB, XP - 512MB Videocard - 128MB Nvidia FX 5900 Ultra, ATI Radeon 9800, Intel 82915G/82910GL or greater.

Now I don't meet the criteria, but I did see in the blogs that you can get a stripped down version, is there any news on this or do the creators have any idea's on having a "lite" setting of the game?

I would pre-order it now but obviously won't bother if the game won't run at home and only at work (!!!).

Try the demo- if it is OK then the full game will be OK

Try the demo mate, if FM2009 worked on it there's certainly a chance you might be lucky.

by the sounds of it it's faster than 09 so if 09 ran OK then 10 should

Hmm, just looked at a new thread by Miles: http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php?t=153211

Thanks for that, yeah my biggest concern is the graphics card but that won't be an issue as watching the 3D game isn't much of an issue for me. Time to order my copy then :>!

good luck hope it works out fine

what specs does your laptop have? mine fell short for fm09, but it was still playable. my guess is, unless youre miles away, you should be fine.

like everyone else has said, try the demo

Well I only hit the minimum processor speed @ 1.4ghz and my ram is 752mb so it's not too bad I guess.

Additionally it's an onboard laptop graphics card which doesn't hit the target, thankfully this isn't mandotory.

I have pre-ordered the game though.

Try the demo mate! It should work!!

One thing I have always wondered, these specs never state whether dual core reduces the CPU requirements? I would expect it would as my 1.66GHz runs the game fine, but there is no mention of dual core. Anyone know for sure? Is there a conversion for ratings from single core to dual?

I think a dual core will speed up the processing. If you look in the game options menu there's an enable threading option. This allows the game to use both cores of your processor.

I run OSX 1.4x on my MAC.. Now this already caused issues last year until the patch fixed it.. I am so doomed I guess =(.

Would I be better off;

1) Buying a Laptop supporting windows only

2) Buy OSX 1.5x

3) Buy software to install Vista on macbook

My Macbook is the first generation, so 1.8ghz dual core with 1gb memory I believe. Taking all this in to consideration, I do not care about playing 3D! I love my dots!
