JA works fine with 32mb graphics card.

[Sam Fisher]

I have a 128mb:D

 

It plays fine. Don't condem(sp?) the game before you can play it actually.

[Emon]

That's a load of crap, who told you that?? It runs on any OpenGL 1.3 complaint video card. The amount of RAM, its speed, GPU speed and other factors determine the performance, but that doesn't mean you can't run it, it just won't look incredible.

Actually, for a new game, JA has lower requirements than a lot of games...

[Spider AL]

My spec was mid-high range a YEAR ago, when Outcast was released, and Academy works fine on it.

[Master William]

I got 64 MB video card and the game runs like paradise.

 

I don't see any problems

[eastcoast2895]

i got a s3 prosavage (laptop basic vid card) and i can get medium graphics at 1024 resolution and i can't think of any sluggish ness in gameplay in either sp or mp

[MasterSkyline]

Works just fine with a 64mb...

[DaveSauce]

yea, whoever told you that lied......try doing some research next time. As I recall, the box says 32mb is minimum required card.

 

Anyhow, i'm playing academy on the same vid card that I played outcast on. Granted I can't max out settings (GeForce3), but the game still looks great.

 

oh, and BTW, GRAMMAR!!!!!!

 

I could barely read your post. Try complete sentinces and correct spelling.....very confusing.

32mb works fine

Always do soem research before tkaing it as gospel.

So the game itself isn't bad, just your performance.

 

Try the following:

 

-Turn of Dynamic Glow

-Turn of Force Feedback

-Turn Anistrophic filtering to 0 (all the way to the left)

-Turn EAX off

-Lower the rest to 1024x768 (if it was higher) or possibly even 800x600

-Lower depth to 16 bit

-Binlinear instead of Trilinear

-Change detail to Medium

 

That should put your FPS back to the level you'd get with JK2.

 

Also be sure that you run the "system analyzer"program that came with it and run ALL the tests in advanced (directx setup), and make sure you correct any errors. I had to downgrade my nvidia drivers to get decent performance out of the game.

i can run it...but i cant get passed the menu..

my computer frezzes after the getting to the first menu!.....how do u expect me to turn off this and that??!?!..i cant even get pass the menu..anfd it frezzes.! :mad: :mad:

[xpaulzZ57x]

Thnks so much jkurgan (admin) .i changed everything to...like 16 bit...and....everything else like details like....um...at medium...and it workd like paradise..WAHOO
