Lowest specs?

[efthimios]

Not what the game officially supports but what you guys have tried, perhaps lower than the official specs?

This is just for fun.

When the next patch arrives I plan on trying it on a couple of older systems, bellow specs.

MINIMUM SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
OS: Windows XP
Processor: Dual Core 2GHz
RAM: 2GB
Hard Drive: 4GB of free space
DirectX Version: 9.0c or greate

This is from the included manual (not from the website). Might work without DirectX. Hard drive space requirement is really the minimum. As for CPU/RAM - I wouldn't recommend going beyond that. These are pretty much specs for a 10 years old computer. I have an older laptop with only 1 gig of memory (ThinkPad T60, it's still saying "IBM" on it) - if Vladimir asks me, I can try PS on it, otherwise it does not sound like a fan.

Thanks. I see T60s on sale all the time, any good?
I found my old Presario laptop (2001). Unfortunately I can't test it as the battery is long dead and I Can't find the charger for now. If it works I am going to try to upgrade it a bit (it has only one 256mb stick as the other one died years ago) hopefully to 1GB (max supported) and perhaps even upgrade the drive (unlikely as I don't even remember what connection it has).
If I make it I will try it on it.

With 1GB it can be problematic - I had reports of random crashes related to low memory available.

No. Not today, not 5 years ago.
10 years ago it was quite good.

Thanks for the replies guys.

Still waiting for the patch, when it is available I will let you know about my finds.
