The main thing I noticed is the fewer AU on the screen, the better it runs. In other words, zoom all the way in. It's pretty responsive when you do that for the most part. Obviously the downside is you lose context (where things outside your viewing area are, etc), but at least you can play. I get the feeling all the processing is happening for all the objects on screen all the time. It would be nice if you could make the objects static so the system doesn't have to constantly redraw everything. That would probably help a lot.

Re: Minimum spec?
I'm having trouble even starting on a 2011 MBP with the windows 10 trial, stuck on "Saving scenario file..." Windows and steam seem to be OK, with plenty of system overhead left. Any chance you did something special to get past that speed bump?

Not sure where the "Saving scenario file..." line is displayed? What were your full steps to get there? It's very possible that Win 10 in a VM on the 2011 MBP is just too much for it since Win 10 is a much bigger video hog.

Re: Minimum spec?
I have to admit I have not bit the bullet yet. I am running Windows 7 on a machine with what appears to be 8 GB of RAM, but I can't make sense of my video card information:
Total amount of system memory 8.00 GB RAM System type 64-bit operating system Number of processor cores 4 Total size of hard disk(s) 1863 GB Disk partition (C:) 1677 GB Free (1863 GB Total) Graphics: Display adapter type Intel(R) HD Graphics Total available graphics memory 1696 MB Dedicated graphics memory 64 MB Dedicated system memory 0 MB Shared system memory 1632 MB Display adapter driver version 9.17.10.2932 Primary monitor resolution 1920x1080 DirectX version DirectX 10 |

Re: Minimum spec?
Any hints on getting Steam/Ogre to run under Wine? I haven't had time to purchase it yet, but I was hoping I could make it work directly under Wine on Linux rather than having to go the VM route...

Re: Minimum spec?
To translate a little: computer graphics come in "discrete" and "integrated" flavors. Discrete means that graphics are handled through a physically separate component; a "video card." Integrated graphics are built into the motherboard or even the main processor chip itself. Once upon a time, this was a Big Deal and trying to run games without a discrete graphics solution would only result in heartbreak and tears. Now, not so big a deal; modern computers tend to have memory and clock cycles to spare, especially home PCs.

1. The Steam app itself is pretty weird under wine, but that mostly doesn't matter 2. Play the game in Windowed mode, not fullscreen; things get weird swapping between the game and the Steam app otherwise Other than that, I didn't do anything special, but I haven't tried Wine under linux yet; I'm using the Wine from homebrew on Mac.

Re: Minimum spec?
This wine recipe worked for me so far. (I'm in the second demo.)
MacBook Pro (17-inch, Early 2011) Model Name: MacBook Pro Model Identifier: MacBookPro8,3 Processor Name: Intel Core i7 Processor Speed: 2.2 GHz Number of Processors: 1 Total Number of Cores: 4 L2 Cache (per Core): 256 KB L3 Cache: 6 MB Memory: 4 GB Caveats - I didn't see the mouse using X windows, but the mac native seems fine. Command-tab to get back to the mac OS. It runs the fans pretty hard, so I won't be resting it on my lap while I play. |
