System requirements
Wanted to buy the game on steam today, when I saw the system requirements - which made me worried a bit.
A system with quad core processor + modern era video card required? My gaming system does not meet those requirements at all, and yet still I am able to play most current strategy games without any problems at all. Is the game that 3d heavy? Does it perform well on lower end machines? Thanks for answering! |

Re: System requirements
I first installed it on my circa 2008/2009 Thinkpad T61p laptop. It played just fine. I think they overstate the minimum specs required.

Re: System requirements
It performs fine on older hardware. I'm playing it under Wine on a 2011 MacBook Pro and it does just fine. I've also played it on the same system on Win7 in a VM, which is more painful, but at least possible.

Re: System requirements
Thank you for the answers. I'll give it a try then.
How did you run it in wine btw? Do you have a complete steam setup running, or a binary of just the game? |

Re: System requirements
Does anyone know if there is a limit on the number of times the game can be installed? I've installed it on my desktop and laptop with no issues. When I tried to install it on my work latop I got a message saying I couldn't install on that system. No explanation, just a denial. My work laptop runs rings around my personal laptop, so it's not a system spec issue. I couldn't find anything on Steam about it, but I also didn't devote a great deal of effort to looking either.

After that, I ran the full Steam application, not just the Ogre binary. There were a couple quirks that I ran into. - The Steam app itself is a little odd. All the browser-based stuff in the app shows as a black screen. This is apparently a known issue, but I didn't care to fix it because the game runs (and I don't give a rip about the Steam env). - Ogre video needs to be set to windowed instead of fullscreen. The Shift-Tab and other related Steam things get weird if you are in fullscreen. Chat does work, though.

Re: System requirements
Thanks, that's a good point. I have admin rights to the box. I just assumed I was violating a license limit so I didn't do any troubleshooting on my end. I'll look in the logs for next steps. Much appreciated!

Re: System requirements
I'm on Lubuntu 16. I installed PlayOnLinux and then installed the Steam option. Once this installed, it ran Steam, where I created my account. I used the Steam web page to pay for Ogre. Then back to my Steam account to have it download and run. Once I started it, it took about 30 seconds for the game to start. Initially I was worried, but it started and ran fine. I did go through part of the tutorial to test it out.
I'm running on an older Lenovo L430 laptop with 4 Gig of RAM. |
