System Requirements?

[Jeysie]

Sorry, I was agreeing that I should ask the two rich folks for money.

Peace & Luv, Liz

I think that my average *yearly* salary is likely around $6000. Certainly I've never made more than $9000.

Damn! Do you work at walmart or something?!

Never worked at WalMart. Did however work at:

Jo-Ann Fabrics (crafts store)
TJ Maxx (clothing store)
Babbage's (software store. Only female working there at the time, which was sort of interesting.)
Dunkin' Donuts
Burger King
Bess Eaton
Toys R Us
A local family-owned graphic design and sign shop.
A local family owned industrial machine parts distributor.

All except the very last have paid pretty crappy. The latter would pay better if I consistently had more hours.

Peace & Luv, Liz

My income in the passing year has been exactly 0... and I'm going to have many expanses in the near future, so I can't see myself investing in hardware anytime soon

I managed to find Gameboost.  

I have uploaded it to the site. Is there any chance that some(one) of you at Phoenix, have(has) an older PC(500mhz CPU), and would be willing to test this program with it(with an early build of KQ9)?

If not, I'll try it with the Torque demo, at a later date.

[Grundy]

My parents use an ancient 500Mhz P3, 16MB video card...
I'll try out the latest demo...  

[Louisiana Night]

Thanks.

Please don't mess up your parents computer, because of the program I mentioned. I've never had problems with it, and it's a simple program, but you never know.

One more thing I should mention, it mainly frees up CPU cycles(it probably won't help an aging video card). I said 500mhz, because of a post in this thread(that, and the last PC I used it on, was a 500mhz).

P.S. People tend to use that wink smiley, when they're joking, I assume/hope you're not.

[Grundy]

I don't use the winky smile to joke, I use it as a happy smile... because it's a bit more interesting than the usual.

But yeah, I'll run the program until the old computer blows up... they're going to buy a new one in the coming weeks anyway, because that one is 'on its last legs'...  

Where can I get this program?

Email it to me?

[Louisiana Night]

Gameboost on KQ9 Fansite

That should work, if it doesn't, get it from here.

Bleem! Park

[Grundy]

Ok, got it.

I wont be able to try it for a few days, since I'm going out of Canberra for the weekend. ( Read the lost and found thread )
But I'll see if it offeres ANY improvement at all, not just with our Awesome KQ9 demo, but with other torque games, I KNOW! I'll see if I can get Quake3 running!  

That'll definitely blow the computer up if anything!  

[Grundy]

LOL! BTW, good to see a fan sight getting others excited about the game...

"The Mysterys of KQ9"



"What is written upon this stone?"

hehehe...    

[Louisiana Night]

Once again, thanks.

EDIT: I still haven't promoted it yet(with the exception of the links on this and Arwen's forum, it's almost inaccessible). I'm waiting till I've got something worth putting online.

I am thinking that if KQ9 is released in a few years the requirements might be a 3 Ghz PC with at least a 256 mb video card.  (Yikes I hope not)

[Grundy]

Well, that would be MY recommended system! lol

*Neil slaps Jon on the head, "500Mhz, and 32MB card bicth!"... Jon scampers away... *

[Jeysie]

What could you possibly put in an *adventure* game that needs that much more juice, Grundy? Only the art, and I find the idea of requiring more juice just to ramp up eye candy that already kicks butt to be pretty silly.

Peace & Luv, Liz

That sounds like KQ10 or KQ11.  

[Yonkey]

I just installed DirectX 9.0c and realised something...

And I've been able to run the engine fine with 32MB Video Card, but I'm not sure if it will work with 16MB or lower.  I KNOW it won't work with 4MB or less though (you get a frame rate of under 0.1 FPS).

My video card is actually 64MB, not 32MB.  So, I am now uncertain if the game will work with 32MB or lower.

[Jump In Well]

Ok im going to need a new computer to play this game because my computer only has 64 MB ram, 8 MB TNT2 graphics card, 750 mhz, and 20 gb hard drive. I've had this computer for over 5 years so i think its time for a new one anyways (my computer is basicly on its death bed, the onlything i rely it to do is play the tiki song (my favorite song)on winamp and play the old sierra on-line games)

[dew7]

It sounds like this game will require a fairly modern computer.

[Grundy]

Not really modern, one of my systems is 3 years old and it will run the game well.

( 1,33ghz, 512mb ram 64mb video card... )

You could easily buy a decent computer like that for pretty cheap these days.
