kluelos Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 The video requirements for the game are pretty steep, and it looks like your video won't cut it. That may not be the only problem, but it's the first show-stopper. In general, you can find out games' system requirements on the web, and you should do that before you spend the time downloading something you might not be able to play.

Blayd Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 (edited) Your system just isnt up to the task for that game my friend. I run Doom3 and Quake 4, and it takes alot of RAM and procesor speed to run these games smoothly. Just to give you an idea, I had been running Quake 4 on my second, ( older ) system, it has a 512 MB video card, 2 gig of RAM, and an overclocked 3.2 Ghz P4 processor, and it still ran alittle jumpy. I'd say thats your first problem. Sorry. Edited November 6, 2006 by Dark_Shroud (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow_76 Posted November 6, 2006 Author Share Posted November 6, 2006 thanks for the info guys. i finally found out the big problem, googled my graphics card and found out it's no good! (not for doom 3 anyways!) sorry to post a question that i could have answered myself with a little work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
