Guest Pecker Posted October 20, 2001 Share Posted October 20, 2001 Hi there. Im an avid fan of starwars, and im looking forward to the impending release of the game. I use my laptop for everything and im wondering if the game will be able to be played upon laptops? I know B+W in most cases doesn't work, regardless of specification. Does anyone know if GB is going to run on laptops? My specs are 1Ghz P3 SpeedStep 256Mb RAM 32Mb GeForce Go 30GB HD. Lets hope it runs! Thanks in advance!

Guest Kudar Posted October 20, 2001 Share Posted October 20, 2001 You shouldn't have a problem with those specs, the game runs on a pretty minimal system, 266Mhz minimum and no need for graphic acceleration so you'll be fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Darth G Posted October 20, 2001 Share Posted October 20, 2001 Well I used my laptop to run the demo and it didn't prove to be of any problem... Since the engine is actually Aoe, if u can run Aoe, GB shouldn't be any probs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Maul403 Posted October 21, 2001 Share Posted October 21, 2001 the engine is AOE2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tie Guy Posted October 21, 2001 Share Posted October 21, 2001 Originally posted by Maul403 the engine is AOE2 Well, if you want to get technical it is AOEII:TC But you should have no problems with those specs, i wish my PC was that good.

Guest Darth G Posted October 21, 2001 Share Posted October 21, 2001 Yah, my mistake... i actuall meant to say Aoe2, dunno why i keep making that mistake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pecker Posted October 21, 2001 Share Posted October 21, 2001 Thats reasuring to hear. I can run AOE2 and AOE easily, however the screen size is extremely small. Since my laptop is 15" it runs at 1600*1200 resolution. Lets hope GB runs with a bigger screen. Well thank you guys, now i just have to wait for a British release. Has anyone set up mod sites in readiness for the game release and if so does anyone have any URL's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kudar Posted October 21, 2001 Share Posted October 21, 2001 I'm fairly sure this site will carry mods for download, as will http://www.battlegroundsuk.com probably http://www.galacticbattlegrounds.co.uk Don't think that their are any specific for just mods yet, but I'll probably be willing to host a mod site or two nearer the time if the project is good enough.

Since my laptop is 15" it runs at 1600*1200 resolution. Lets hope GB runs with a bigger screen. Not often i get to quote myself.. but here goes. I have just played the demo, and the screen size is centred and around half the visible area of my screen. Much the same as AOE2 was. Its a shame to see, a good three inches of black screen surrounding a small game screen. Any ideas? I know there is one more resolution setting in the demo, i saw it on the options screen. However it isn't enabled in the demo. Will it make any difference in the actual game? Oh and does anyone have a technical support addy for lucasarts?

Guest Kudar Posted November 1, 2001 Share Posted November 1, 2001 Hey, just to drag this back up, i was using a laptop over the weekend, and I'm now really glad I didn't buy one, it seemed every game I played (3) had huge black borders around it, which is not nice. Maybe there is something that can be done about it, if not I feel sorry for you having to play like that, does it do that for your other games?

Guest roach Posted November 1, 2001 Share Posted November 1, 2001 Woah, Pecker those specs are huge for a laptop! Sadly, my brick wouldn't run the demo, the stupid fixed resolution doesn't work with my screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pecker Posted November 24, 2001 Share Posted November 24, 2001 The specs are very high for a laptop computer, however such specs come at a price. I did purchase the laptop with the main use being for my university studies. However i knew fine well that my favourite game Deus Ex runs fine on laptops. But AOE games don't . Does anyone know if AOE or GB can be windowed? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
