CaptainRAVE Posted September 19, 2001 Share Posted September 19, 2001 Demos usually require just under the minimum specs. JK2 will run on your computer, but about quater graphics. As for me, i'll be getting my new PC three weeks before the actual game comes out. In about 1 month we should know when that will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Boba Rhett Posted September 19, 2001 Share Posted September 19, 2001 You don't think he'll need a nonintegrated graphics card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rogue15 Posted September 19, 2001 Share Posted September 19, 2001 so, at quarter graphics, what would the framerate be like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainRAVE Posted September 19, 2001 Share Posted September 19, 2001 Sorry, didnt notice the graphics, that could be a problem. You might not be able to run it at all with that. With a graphics card though u'll be able to run at a quater fine. An upgrade of ram to 128Mb might mean running fine at half graphics. You wont have 63Mb though, it would definatly be 64, thats just an error with your computer reading it. Mine has the same problem, but it will still work as 64Mb.

OnlyOneCanoli Posted September 19, 2001 Share Posted September 19, 2001 If you want to spend $100 for a RAM upgrade and a new video card, it will run decent I'd guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainRAVE Posted September 19, 2001 Share Posted September 19, 2001 At the moment ram is dead cheap. I can get 256Mb for £31. Two years ago it was £40 for 32Mb. While this amzing offer stands I got 5 256Mb chips....im gettin ready for JK2 . Also descent graphics cards are also quite cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Boba Rhett Posted September 19, 2001 Share Posted September 19, 2001 Rogue, your going to have to get another stick of ram and a least a 16mb video card. http://www.pccost.com/shopexd.asp_Q_id_E_1540 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acdcfanbill Posted September 20, 2001 Share Posted September 20, 2001 how about a duron 800 rage fury pro 32 mb graphics card 256 mg ram i think it should run it decently... although i may upgrade to a athlon or a thunderbird sometime if i happen to strike it rich...

acdcfanbill Posted September 20, 2001 Share Posted September 20, 2001 the important things i just bought came to about a 150 bucks for me, so it shouldnt be too difficult to upgrade to something that can run jkii... my gaming heart goes out to you though...

OnlyOneCanoli Posted September 21, 2001 Share Posted September 21, 2001 My question is if this game will run on 56k. I was talking to Simpson earlier about this. The FPS genre is pretty much already near unplayable on a 56k modem. I'd say a year from now, most games will be unplayable with 56k. Even in SWG, I doubt that I will be able to play it. 1.10 Can I play with a modem, or will I need a broadband connection? Our goal is to allow you to be able to play with a modem.

BluRR1587246507 Posted September 21, 2001 Share Posted September 21, 2001 Canoli, you'll probably be able to play somewhat, but it won't be near as much fun on a 56k as it would be on a faster connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acdcfanbill Posted September 21, 2001 Share Posted September 21, 2001 ya, im glad that i get t1 through college... i used to live out on a farm, with few (expensive) ways to get speedy connections... i love this 100 bucks for a year of access.... now if i could only put my computer together so that i could use it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Simpson Posted September 21, 2001 Share Posted September 21, 2001 Yes, 56k modems just doesn't cut it anymore, not for FPS games anyway. This is sad, because there are still lots of gamers out there who still can't get broadband. Either the telecompanies must rapidly speed up their network expansion, which I don't see happening, or 56k'ers will have to stick to older games on the internet. On a lighter note, I will have DSL in 3 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magnus1587246491 Posted September 21, 2001 Share Posted September 21, 2001 I hope LEC/Raven let us use some of the console commands from Quake 3. Then you'll be able to scale down the graphics to run on almost any computer. I know Elite Force had som Q3 commands, so why wouldn't TFAOTPJWTUFGKKAHCPJO?

OnlyOneCanoli Posted September 21, 2001 Share Posted September 21, 2001 Don't worry Bib, I'll send a screenshot of me playing it on a computer that can run the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kurgan Posted September 21, 2001 Share Posted September 21, 2001 It's sad that video arcades are in decline, but perhaps they could be revived with LAN party type cafes, etc. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowbieOne Posted September 22, 2001 Share Posted September 22, 2001 There is a LAN place nearby in Schaumburg ,IL called GameWorks or something. It's cool, like $5 first hour, $2 every additional hour. They do quite well too, I hope it spreads as well and replaces arcades. There is only 1 problem I have with them, NO JEDI KNIGHT THERE! Darn lamer Quakers. Are there places like this elsewhere? I would really like it to grow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
