Automation - Minimum Requirements

Someone mentioned making the minimum requirements for laptops. Well, my laptop runs the game, kind of, on lowest settings. Not sure on FPS, but it’s not many. Still playable though. So for reference, this is about the minimum I’ve got the game to run “OK” on:

AMD Athlon X2 QL-65 @ 2.1GHz
3GB DDR2-something (I will check) RAM
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570
Windows 7 Home Premium

Kind of, anything around that would be the lowest I’d want to go with a laptop, but it will technically run on lower. (Runs quite well on this machine with the no graphics option mind you :stuck_out_tongue:).

Just my take on laptop min requirements:
I’m doing fine on max settings (excludinf fxaa) on integrated graphics with:
intel i7 4700mq @ 3.6ghz
and
8gb of ram

What sort of integrated graphics though?

Should be the Intel 4000 series graphics, Cause it’s a Haswell. I think it should run pretty well on some slower computers with lower graphics settings though.

I have Intel Intergrated Graphics 4000 HD in my laptop and I can run it quite well on full quality!! It does go slow occasionally, but I can work with it no problem.

Hey ZanBay,

I think it can run Automation well. Maby on medium graphic settings otherwish on low. Maby is the graphicscard the big issue.

I just have compared the Radeon graphicscard with my GT 540m: game-debate.com/gpu/index.ph … ce-gt-540m.

For me run the game nice and quickly.

will windows 8 with a geforce gtx 660m run the game?

That should be just fine rammstein

Made a small survey and checked some systems at home for it. Should help a LOT.

You can find the survey here

[size=50]Also caswal… where are the shadows in the game?[/size]

I dont know how to fix this issue, im not overly computer savvy but i know a little. The error says I need to check my DXError.log and my DirectX.log todetermine my problem. Idk what to do. Help?

I hate to be a bother, but that doesn’t have any options for Eight Core CPUs or SLI. :wink:
I can tell you the game runs fine tho.

It does not… but doesnt it seem logical? :stuck_out_tongue:
“Normal” people dont have 8-Cores or SLI. If you have an AMD FX-8xxx Processor, then its not a 8-Core CPU. Its more a 4Module/8Threads CPU :wink:

my computer doesnt meet the minium graphics requirements but it runs smoothly

Dell XPS with a NVIDIA GeForce 8400M graphics card and an Intel Core2 Duo processor, will it run?

Try the free demo. If that works, you’re fine.

i would but im getting a dierctx issue

im looking to buy a refurb laptop **(im only 13 so dont judge me :slight_smile: ** im looking at ones with i5 processors or better.

i came across a toshiba (again i know they look boring) but its got good specs and a reasonable price. anyway just wondering if it would run the game. im worried about its graphics card.

here it is ebay.com/itm/Toshiba-Tecra-M … 4897.l4275

Yeah, that’s not going to go very well, It’s got plenty enough CPU and RAM, but the graphics card is going to be a problem.

It’s listed as having Intel HD integrated graphics. Some of the newer and highest spec Intel GPUs are good enough to run Automation badly, but older ones won’t. Look for something with some kind of mid range ATI or nVidia graphics card built in, there should still be some old and cheap laptops that run it OK :slight_smile:
