Welcome to thepowerlevel. the article will be helpful for you perhaps.if you'd like. read it.
There have been literally hundreds of questions of "will this card work" over the past few months, so perhaps this will make it easier for people. Note that anything below the minimum requirements will not be able to run the game.
Please read entire thread before posting questions about a specific requirement.
Randomize Sounds -- If you do not have a SoundBlaster X-Fi sound card, you will need to disable "randomize sounds" under the "audio options" menu. YOU MUST HAVE AN X-FI SOUND CARD TO FULLY TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS OPTION, AND TO BE ABLE TO PLAY WITHOUT A SIGNIFICANT PERFORMANCE HIT, REGARDLESS OF THE REST OF YOUR SYSTEM SPECIFICATIONS!
LAPTOP COMPUTERS ARE NOT RECOMMENDED FOR MoC. Although a few integrated laptop chipsets may be supported, they are watered down versions of their PC hardware brothers, and are not near as powerful.
MICROSOFT VISTA IS NOT CURRENTLY SUPPORTED BY MoC (although this does not necessarily mean it won't run it).
I expect a future patch will incorperate Vista, but currently Vista and DX10 are NOT 100% supported.
*As of right now, the only drivers available for most video cards and all sound cards are bata drivers, as well as for motherboards. There is a rush to release drivers that support Vista, but most games also won't support it. SoundBlaster X-Fi sound cards are the only that will be 100% supported (for a while, patches to make other compatable are in the works) because Vista switched from [XP's] Direct3D support to OpenAL support, and the X-Fi is the only card out that supports OpenAL.*
Minimum Requirements
Windows 2000/XP
DirectX 9.0c (Included on game disk)
2.4 GHz Intel Pentium 4 or equivalent AMD Athlon
512 MB system RAM
3 GB hard drive space
128 MB NVidia GeForce 4800 / 128 MB ATI Radeon 9200
DirectX 9.0c compatable 16-bit sound card
1024x768 display resolution
**Please note: these specs. are the bare minimum requirements needed to run the game. These specs. will only run the game at its lowest graphical settings.**
Recommended Requirements
Windows 2000/XP
DirectX 9.0c
3.2 GHz Intel Pentium 4 or equivalent AMD Athlon
1 GB system RAM
256 MB NVidia GeForce 6800 GS / 256 MB ATI Radeon X800 or greater
SoundBlaster Audigy / X-Fi or equivalent
1280x1024 display resolution
**Please note: These specs. are the very least recommended to play this game. They do not necessarily mean that the game will run on maximum settings.**
Really Hot Setup
Windows XP Professional
4.0 GHz Pentium 4 or equivalent AMD Athlon
2 GB system RAM
1 GB NVidia 7950 GX2
SoundBlaster X-Fi soundcard
1600x1200 display resolution
**Please note: For maximum performance, a Dual-Core AMD or Pentium 4 processor achieving no less than 2.4 GHz is strongly recommended.**
Chipsets
*Anything below the minimum system requirements is NOT supported*
-Video cards generally range by number. Therefore, the higher the number, the better performance, with few exceptions.
*Integrated chipsets are not recommended for gameplay.*
The NVidia MX series is NOT supported by MoC.
Integrated Intel chipsets are NOT offically supported by MoC.
All NVidia and ATI integrated chipsets are NOT offically supported by MoC, with the exception of the NVidia GO 7600 series or higher.
**The NVidia GeForce 8800 GTX(S) cards were not officially supported upon the release of MoC, but do in fact work with the game. It is recommended that if you own one of these cards, you have patch 1.6 or higher for maximum performance.**
Please note: Most players of MoC, regardless of their system setup, have expierence moderate to long (in some cases, very long) load times between campaign missions. This is a coding problem with the game, not with your computer. To help with this problem, when playing a campaign, disable your internet connection, turn off all anti-virus programs, firewalls, and spyware or anti-hacker programs. Also, make sure you disable any unnecessary background tasks through windows task manager, and set MoC to "high priority," so windows automatically renders it more important.
Here is a possible (works with many machines) Vista fix, found by BlackDemon
1) For this game to work you must not install Vista on a clean format. You must first install XP. After XP has finished loading and it throws you into windows, don't worry about installing any device drivers whatsoever, just immediately perform an UPGRADE to Vista.
2) Once you have installed Vista in this way and subsequently set up any devices that Vista may not be able to do itself, the game should now install, update, and run perfectly fine!!! Bar one thing... (see number 3 if you are still stuck getting the error "cannot find the specified file")
3) For some unknown reason, this game doesn't like it if you change your default Vista "Documents" user link to a base hard drive folder, such as "D:\" which is what I did seeing as I have seperate hard drives for windows, and for my files. Although Vista will allow it, this game will NOT create it's savegame and settings files at all even though all other games I own will, and you get the error "cannot find the specified file".
To make sure this doesn't happen, you can either leave the default "Documents" link as "C:\User\
