Topic: required specs

New player, here, with a 2.5gh processor,a video card that supports shader, 3gb RAM, standard DSL(1.5gb). I know the RAM is on the low side - 150% of the minimum spec and 75% of recommended, but I'd say the game really doesn't function. What is everybody else running with? I'm in the USA, California - does distance to the server account for lag time and missed commands?

Re: required specs

What is the issue you're seeing. You posted specs and then referenced internet and location. You're system specs should have no issue running the game. You may need to turn down some settings.

Yes, a very important piece of information that was left out.

That's an intergrated video card really old for today's games. Have you checked if it supports shader model 3.0?

Get a dedicated vid card.. a cheap $50-$75 will work fine. Perp doesn't have big reqs.

Re: required specs

It does support sm 3.0, but its an extremely outdated GPU with poor performance. It was like that already when it came out 8 years ago and even NVidia has stopped support for this series already.

Re: required specs

The Voodoo3 3000 GPU is better than that.

A game of this caliber requires a GPU with the specs for this new millennium /relevent10yearsago

Re: required specs

I run Perpetuum with http://www.walmart.com/ip/38275440?wmls … mp;veh=sem

It uses Intel HD 2000 graphics. I have no issues with the game. I am pretty sure it is something else. Perhaps your ISP. Or you have too many apps running while trying to play.

All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when we are able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must appear inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near.”

1) ADSL2 + supports up to 24 MB / s. You can not specify exactly what type of connection using (must be described in the contract with the provider).
2) Could not specify exactly what kind of equipment? Processor type, model of graphics card, volume of memory. Desktop or laptop.
3) How exactly do you have the problem? The game is fully suspended or actions do not occur at once? Whether there is a robot that sometimes pulls back?

PS. You have a weak video card is not designed for gaming. If you have a desktop computer I recommend to upgrade the card to a minimum x5x or x6xx (ATI or NVIDIA) model. How match higher number - then better.
