Terrin Posted January 13, 2002 Share Posted January 13, 2002 Amd k6-2 450 128 RAM Asus 32meg Geforce 2mx 400 Has there been any definate minimum specs to JKII yet? I REALLY want to play this game, but I may be thwarted by the fact my computer isn't that high on itself... Any help would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue15 Posted January 14, 2002 Share Posted January 14, 2002 ya, that'll work. they said it uses similar specs that Elite Force uses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[SWS]Strider Posted January 14, 2002 Share Posted January 14, 2002 That should be ok. But I would really suggest getting some more RAM. A 128 chip would make a world of difference. Strider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toa Tahu Posted January 14, 2002 Share Posted January 14, 2002 Now it's my turn to ask... I have a: Pentium 4 1.7GHz Win XP 32Mb GeForce2 Mx 256Mb RDRAM Anything else?And,can I play?I just really hope so! Or else my PC of 4 months can't play it.What a waste...I bought this new PC just for Internet and this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowbieOne Posted January 14, 2002 Share Posted January 14, 2002 Guess you don't know much about computers Toa Tahu. Fear not, you are in great shape for JK2. The only thing I could suggest is upgrading your Geforce 2, but other than that you are fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Com Raven Posted January 14, 2002 Share Posted January 14, 2002 Uhh, you mean that question was serious ?? And about the original post, should be possible, and with turned down graphics, might even be pretty fluid ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[SWS]Strider Posted January 14, 2002 Share Posted January 14, 2002 What about me then (when the Mac version comes out) G4 733 640mb of RAM Geforce 3 64mb Soundblaster LIVE Creative Labs 5.1 5300 OS X.1 Yes I'm kidding muhahahahah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I REALLY want to play this game, but I may be thwarted by the fact my computer isn't that high on itself... Any help would be great. I played through Elite Force on exactly that spec (okay, So my MX was made by Hercules, but let's not split hairs here). It was perfectly fluid in 800x600x16 with a couple of the other options turned down to medium. I reckon that JK II will be a little more demanding than EF despite what everyone says (much higher polygon counts, more detailed textures, GHOUL2, etc.) but you should still find the game eminently playable on lower detail settings. It will look far from fantastic, of course, and while a better graphics card and another 128mb RAM will help speed things up, the root of the problem is that a K6-2 simply can't cut it with today's games. I know, I had one up until four months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarScrap Posted January 15, 2002 Share Posted January 15, 2002 What about me? P II 266 64 megs ram Voodoo 3 16 megs :( I need a new comp. But this game is going to run if I have to turn all the setting down and play it without sound!!!! I'll be mad if I have to take off the music though. Actually I expect I'll be able to run it just fine. Most games are actually pretty lenient, and I have a cable modem to make up for it online.

JekRendar Posted January 15, 2002 Share Posted January 15, 2002 No, No it won't run on ANYONE'S computer!!! Why? Becuase it runs on my old p1 233MHz 32 mb and some generic 2 mb graphics MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Feel MY power!!! I still play with Star Wars figures!!!!

pinkpanther718 Posted January 15, 2002 Share Posted January 15, 2002 Ok guys, I'm conflicted on what to upgrade to, the boys at Yoda's Swampe know all about my problems. Heres my current system: PIII 550 640 mb RAM SB Live Value Nvidia TNT 2 32 mb video I am building a new computer, my dream PC over the summer, towards the end, but there are some big games comming out this spring, graphics heavy games. I need input. I don't want to spend more than about 100 bucks on a video card, AGP of course. Its between the GeForce 2 MX-400 and the ATI Radeon, either 32 mb DDR or 64 mb SD. To those who have the MX, how is it in todays games, and how does it compare to the ATI cards. And to anyone who can answer, I've yet to find an answer to this, what is better, 32 mb DDR or 64 mb SD? Finally, how am I looking for JK II if I leave my system the same. PS: When considering my video issue, keep in mind I really play at both high and low res, and performance is very important, just as if not more than visual apeal, I need high framerate, I can't stand to be bogged down. THanks guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psycoglass Posted January 15, 2002 Share Posted January 15, 2002 I don't believe that JK2 will run on your computer cause the K6-2 numeric proccessor is extremely slow. My moms 500 Mhz computer with a voodoo three will barely run ONI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emon1 Posted January 16, 2002 Share Posted January 16, 2002 1. The requirments will be much higher than Elite Force. Just because Raven made it, it doesn't mean it'll be the same. The MINIMUM to get JK2 to run on low-res, all detail on low, will probably be: -Pentium 3 500 MHz -16MB 3-D Card -128MB RAM To run it smoothly, in low or medium detail, you'll probably need at least: -Pentium 3 850 MHz -32MB 3-D Card -128MB RAM To run it smoothly on high detail, high-res, you'll want something like this: -Athlon 1.4 GHz or higher -64MB 3-D Card such as a GeForce 2 Ultra or greater -256MB RAM When I say smooth, I mean at least 40-50 FPS. 24 FPS does not count as smooth. The average human can perceive up to 85 FPS, NOT 24 or 30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emon1 Posted January 16, 2002 Share Posted January 16, 2002 BTW, [sWS]Strider: That Mac of yours is PLENTY to run the Mac version of JK2. You should be able to hack it on full detail, highest res, at like 60+ FPS. Toa Tahu: WHY do you have Win XP? It's inferior to Windows 2000 in EVERY way, I dunno why you'd put that on there!

Agen Posted January 16, 2002 Share Posted January 16, 2002 Windows Xp ownz most of 2k because it..... better. prof edition is much better for servers/networks. and also emon? did u used to be saber_emanon and JT_sammax or summat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emon1 Posted January 17, 2002 Share Posted January 17, 2002 1. No, I was not those other names. 2. Win XP Professional better than 2000 for a server??!?! LOL OMG!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!! You really don't know what your talking about, do you? Windows 2000 Advanced Server is the best server OS Microsft has ever come out with. It's better than any version of Win NT. Infact, it's the best thing for a server other than Linux, FreeBSD, Unix or something based on Unix. 3. SWS, I see your point. But when we run Windows, we can use all the software that comes out. You Mac heads are stuck in slow-ass emulation mode. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordvader Posted January 17, 2002 Share Posted January 17, 2002 Oh dear, XP is most certainly not better than 2k for anything. Let us analyze just what XP is. It retains the basics of the 2k kernel, save minor modifications. On top of it, is the base for the win2k interface, except it is bloated, and rather than having the interface hard coded, it is image-based, therefore resulting in a decrease in speed. It's far less secure, any added bloat (of which win2k has very little, but xp has far too much) adds to both instability and insecurity, making xp bad for servers. Its compatibility is no better than 2k, no matter what MS will tell you, its win98 compatibility is no more than a sad attempt at incorporating the 9x and 2k kernels, something any security expert will tell you is a very ugly thing. Basically, XP is 2k, but slower, more bloated, less stable, less secure, and with worse compatibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emon1 Posted January 17, 2002 Share Posted January 17, 2002 Hehe, lrod, have you ever looked at that compatibility wizard? It's just a few HTML files with special code, what a gimmic! It hardly ever worked for me, and usually made things slower and less stable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elite force used Carcass, JK II takes Ghoul II which is made of Carcass+Ghoul I (SoF). Requirements shouldn't be higher than with RtCW .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
