Requirements

[remake]

Hello,
Is there somewhere described the requirements for proper operation latest revision of FOnline engine?

[Koniko]

From what I heard you will be required to some upgrade if u have 'wooden' PC. There will be probably many changes related to rendering. I think single core around 2.5 - 3.2 GHz, 2 GB Ram and 128mb GPU with some newest OpenGL support should do the work.

[sasha]

minimum requirements for PLAY or you want to have your own server ?
for play i tested it with 1.6 ghz, 384 RAM on XP without problems, for server+8 players ( including me on the same pc ) i tested it with 2.93 ghz x2, 2 GB RAM on XP without problems.

[remake]

Which revision you ve tested?
And what about your graphic card?

[Koniko]

Newest SDK revision will never run on PC that sasha mentioned.

[Wipe]

Oh it will, with small change - tried CPU 1.7ghz RAM 2gb and all works fine for a casual playing; no TC or other RT mass battles, mass TB with no problems. Old SDK, new SDK, doesn't matter; in fact, newer client works bit better...

...as long no 3d critters are on map - that makes fps drop to 1

[sasha]

dont remember the version but the video card was GeForce 2 64 MB. XP use less than 90 MB of RAM, so 384 without background programs let you play FOnline, well, at least i can. BTW VRAM ( pagefile ) are set in 2 GB.

[Koniko]

Client seems to work smoother on Linux when there's no 3D Critters around.

[remake]

How did you run newer version on GeForce 2? It doesn't support OpenGL 2.0. You found some way to run it on this hardware?

[sasha]

you can use OpenGL emulator for OpenGL 2/3.x, 3D analyze for Pixel Shader ( well, at least 1.x/2.x ), 3D3 overrider for triple buffering, etc. look on the net for programs like that, sometimes are very useful, but expect some FPS drop ( with the exception of triple buffering, sometimes that help on old games ).

Very interesting, perhaps I will be able to keep my old graphics card and enjoy FOnline after all.

Or you finally go with the time and buy a new one. :>

@sasha
Can you paste here direct links to these emulators and some description how to run them with new FOnline revision?

sorry, i dont have that PC right now, my father is using it on their work, so i cant make a step by step tutorial/upload that files for you. BTW OpenGL support is drivers-related and not hardware-related as far as i know, check if you can download some drivers version for your video card that have OpenGL support ( i read something about nvidia omega drivers too, i dont know if are unofficial drivers or not ).
