Loki1950 Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 The main constraint is the GPU and which version of OpenGL it supports.Enjoy the Choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 At this point 0AD should "run" on just about any computer. But, I put run in quotes because on anything older than a few years, 0 A.D. would be painfully slow.Edit: I looked up the specs on your laptop... and I have a nearly identical laptop (Shipped with Win 98 I think) with only a few different perprentials (floppy drive in a laptop FTW!), faster clock speeds (Overclocking!), and more RAM (Salvage!). 0 A.D. barely managed to start on it. I would really recommend getting a new laptop, I think ~3 year old laptops off ebay or craigslist go for pretty cheap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
historic_bruno Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 is there some way i can run the game on an older computer? (my personal laptop is old T41 thinkpad)Do you only want to run it, or have it playable as well? You could provide your system sepcs, the important parts are CPU, RAM, and GPU. If you manage to install and run 0 A.D., you can post the system_info.txt it generates in the log folder. "Older" is always relative of course, but for laptops, it's even more of a concern as they will have lower-end hardware compared to a desktop of the same age. Eventually, it would be nice to get to a point where our minimum system requirements (http://play0ad.com/download/) are playable, but it needs a lot of work before that point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thamlett Posted February 24, 2014 Author Share Posted February 24, 2014 (edited) i keep on getting an openGL error that i want to hidei just want it to open well enough to go in the lobby and chat whilst i am playing in a game on my desktopsystem_info.txt Edited February 24, 2014 by thamlett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
historic_bruno Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Ah, that's actually below our minimum requirements (only 64 MB memory on the Mobility Radeon 7500). Still, it might be possible to get into the lobby, but I doubt anyone tests such an old GPU anymore. The GL error would be interesting to see, can you find it in the logs (interestinglog.html) and post it here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
