Minium system requirement

[lizwiz]

What is the minium system requirement for platinum? I wanted to put it on my old portable for when we go away but it comes up with memory access violation. It's a Pentium 3, 697Mh with 256 MB RAM. Although it is slow I can play Wonderland and Secret Worlds on it, but not return wonderland.

Hi Liz, I looked on the Midnight Synergy website, but couldn't find this information. I would suggest that you send a message (PM) to Patrick. I'm sure he could answer your question.

Good Luck!

Here is the info, from the read me file in your RTWD/Platinum directory:

System Requirements
===================

Pentium 500 Mhz+
Windows 95/98/Me/2000/XP
32 MB RAM or more
25 MB drivespace or more
Direct X 7.0 or higher
Direct 3D compatible Video Card with at least 8MB
Sound Card recommended

Note that performance is primarily dependant on your
video card. Wonderland will run smoothly on a lower
end Pentium with a recent/fast video card, but will
require a faster processor if your video card is less
powerful.

1. The game is running slow!
----------------------------
Wonderland is designed to run on even lower-end Pentium
systems, provided that they have a fairly recent graphics
card. Here are some options if your system meets the
minimum requirements, but the game still runs slow. Try
changing to a lower resolution or lowering the detail
level in the Options Menu. Also make sure that you have
no programs running in the background of your system,
such as Ad-Ware or Spy-Ware programs. Check out
www.lavasoft.de for Ad-Aware, a program that checks your
system for such malicious software. Finally, ensure that
you do not have a virus that might be affecting your system .

2. The game doesn't run at all!
-------------------------------
Ensure that you have the latest DirectX drivers. You can
download them at www.microsoft.com/directx for free. Also
make sure that your video- and sound-card drivers are up to
date. Visit the manufacturers website for updates. Check
for viruses and Spy-Ware (see above). If all else fails,
contact us at infos@midnightsynergy.com and include a
detailed description of the problem and your system
specifications.

3. I've deleted my Player Character!!!
--------------------------------------
Don't panic. If a player character is deleted, a backup
copy is stored in the Players directory with the .bak
extension. Simply rename "playername.bak" to
"playername.pla", and off you go!

4. I've switched to Windowed Mode, but it's still Fullscreen
------------------------------------------------------------
Some older video cards will not allow Windowed Mode in
certain resolutions. You might have some success by changing
the resolution to 640x480, or you might have a video card
incapable of Windowed Mode - in which case Wonderland will
automatically switch back to Fullscreen.

Thanks everyone - still no luck though. I think I'm going to have to dump everything and re-install the system. There's nothing on it worth having except wonderland and I have a copy of that.
