Rithy58 Posted April 24, 2011 Author Share Posted April 24, 2011 It's s simple question open for discussion.**What is the lowest spec you were able to run Eclipse Origin v2?**For me, it wasOS: Windows XP SP3CPU: Intel Celeron 2.4GhzRAM: 512 MBHDD: 60GBGraphic: Integrated with 128 Video MemorySound: On-BoardNetwork: Cable but limited to 56kbits/secSincerely,Rithy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 EO doesn't use video memory, so you don't need a graphics card.It uses about ~30mB of RAM depending on how you set out your tilesets.If your client is taking up 60gB of HDD space then you've done something seriously wrong. My stuff takes up ~30mB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broojo02 Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 So Robin am I right in thinking that you get better memory usage if you use 1 tileset per map? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rithy58 Posted April 26, 2011 Author Share Posted April 26, 2011 Oh no, that's just the spec of the PC.Of course EO use less resources. I just tested the game with a few of my friends and everyone can run the game very smoothly.I'm just wondering if there is anyone with a PC that can't run EO or run very slowly/laggy.Sincerely,Rithy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 The only people I've come across who have trouble running it are those who use their netbooks/low-end laptops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igloo9 Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 I was actually about to make a thread about this, but I guess I'll post it here. If someone could answer, it would be really helpful. Basically, I might be getting a new laptop soon. My current laptop can run Origins fine. However, this laptop is worse. I know it sounds stupid to be getting a worse laptop, but I only use it for basic stuff. I don't even need a powerful laptop. The only game program I use on it is Eclipse. The reason I'm even getting the laptop is because it has things on it that I need.Anyway, my question is, if I get this new laptop, will it be able to run EO without any problems?Windows 7 Home Premium1.6 GHz AMD E-Series E-350 dual-core processor (1 MB KB L2 cache; 1066 MHz front-side bus, or FSB)3 GB of installed DDR3 RAM (1066 MHz; upgradeable to 8 GB)ATI Radeon HD 6310 graphics cardI would imagine it can, but I just wanted to make sure. My game on EO runs fine on my current laptop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 @Tarou:> -snip-All you need is a solid CPU and as much RAM as your game uses. It's really not hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My stuff takes up ~30mB.Did you seriously take out using video memory?––-----------Eclipse origins should run on a machine around 800Mhz without any problems. Its pretty heavily optimized and on top of that its just basic directdraw stuff.Edit: well I tried out using video memory but my geforce gtx 470 absolutely refuses to wake up for directdraw. When I used a geforce 6600 oc, with video memory I would get almost 900 fps. Fun stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DFA Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Plz report your unlocked fpsAlso ms4 was designed to be bogged down And still run fine.I just ran some tests myself.Eclipse origins - system memory 640 fpsMs4 - video memory 780 fps (goes to 607 fps after alt tab and returning to game, don't know why)ms4 - system memory 1200 fpsBased on these tests, a huge bottle neck must exist if the fps drops by 50%.I would suggest you time functions to find the bottleneck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazuko Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 I don't know about Origins, but I used to Run Solar on a 500 mhz comp quite a few years back.If I can dig that rig up from the basement comp graveyard I'll stick EO on it and see how it does.
