System requirements?

eriqjaffe · 11-18-2005, 03:56 PM

In a virtual echo of one of my first posts here...

Are there any system requirements that have been decided on yet? I ask because I have an old (Pentium 2, 366mhz, 128mb RAM, Win98) laptop that I use more than my desktop PC, and I'd love to be able to use OOTP:BM on it, as well...

The game will run on that machine, I've got nothing in house that mirrors it for speed so I cannot tell you how fast it may run for you.

Well, considering Markus said it ran FASTER than OOTP6, I'm not too worried.

As long as it can display 1024*768, you'll be able to play it

I'd be more worried about disc space requirements with that machine 8-)

Relatively to that (poor Markus, has to field so many questions!), I couldn't find the answer to this question even in the parts relative to screen resolution: will all the resolutions available be a 4*3 ratio, or will widescreen resolutions (say, 8*5 (1280*800)) also be a possibility?

Markus,

Some clarification please, if you don't mind. When I checked the elicense store for the system requirements I saw this:

Delivery Method: Electronic Download, Windows PC-CDROM
Platform: Windows ME/XP/2000/2003

I do not see Win98SE on the list, is it supported??

If WinME is supported, Win98 should also work - they're essentially the same OS.
