Jugulator Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 So, Hi to all the forum, I'm new at this page, and i'd like to talk about the requirements of the game. I have a nice PC with XP, Intel Pentium 4 and 128 Mb of RAM, ATI RADEON 'numbers & stuff here' video card and an AUDIGY sound card, is it enough for the game?, Actually I think about upgradin' some components.Really, I saw the videos and the graphics are amazing, but I had to uninstal AOE III cause it was too heavy for my computer and the game crashes every hour. So i'm worried about having the same problem with 0 A.D.So, that's all for the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mythos_Ruler Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 You will need at least 1GB of RAM, IMHO. What Radeon do you have and what processor speed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jugulator Posted January 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 The Radeon installed is XPRESS 200 series Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhoenixDog Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 Quad Core @ ~2.6ghz4GB+ DDR3Sli or Crossfire 512GB Video Memory~50GB free HDD space.Maybe. Who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belisarivs Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 0AD supports multi threading? I don't thing so as there was said that project lacks programmers and support for more threads is IMHO nasty to implement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feneur Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 It looks more like he's telling us his own specs than anything else Don't think multi-threading is on the priority list no =) (It's not one of the features of the game at least, but I don't understand most of the programming so I cannot be 100 % sure ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhoenixDog Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 Nah, those are not my own specs. I was juse messing around with the projected requirements for 0 A.D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feneur Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 Messing around is the correct word indeed Our aim is to make 0 A.D. playable on as low-end machines as possible, and while it may take a while until 0 A.D. is finished I don't think it will take enough time to make those low-end specs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ykkrosh Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 0AD supports multi threading? I don't thing so as there was said that project lacks programmers and support for more threads is IMHO nasty to implement.Indeed, the game engine doesn't try to take advantage of multi-core CPUs. Largely that's because multi-core CPUs didn't exist when we started, and it's very hard to retrofit at a later date. Also we want the game to work on single-core CPUs, so we have to design it to work within that limitation, which means it should still be fast enough on a single core of a multi-core CPU and there isn't a great advantage in using more. And multithreading is just a hard problem anyway, particularly since games are inherently quite serial - you have tens of milliseconds to process one frame, and then you have to finish with it and start over again on the next frame, and it's hard to split that one frame's processing into enough chunks that can be distributed across multiple cores to get a real benefit.(We do use multiple threads for reasons other than performance, e.g. to run some background timer stuff and to separate the editor GUI from the game renderer, but only one thread is doing any heavy computation.)

SeanM2563 Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 Anyone Mail me the link to download this game ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buggy123 Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 (edited) Here's some news for you...it's not out yet. There's a developers version you can download, but the official game isn't even in beta yet... Edited July 20, 2009 by buggy123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greendogo Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 I was wondering how much the minimum requirements would need to be increased in order to increase the population cap from 150 to something like 300 or beyond. Any ideas anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrChocolateBear Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 I don't feel confident enough to give any estimates on how increasing the population cap will effect the minimum requirements. Adjusting the population cap is probably something we will play with when the game is closer to completion, so we will have a better idea of how expensive it is on the hardware, as well as how it affects gameplay overall.

Greendogo Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Alrighty. But the general idea is to be able to have the game run on lower end computers, right? I guess it would be too big of a deal to let the player decide what the cap should be during game setup, because it would effect all kinds of stuff like AI and unit balancing.So would it be realistic to expect to be able to mod that kind of thing? An increased population cap and a larger map size? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mythos_Ruler Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Yes, very reasonable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
