mithrandir 0 Posted July 4, 2002 Hi I just bought the rest. addon! I'm a little dissapointed...On the box it is mentioned that minumum sys.requirent is equalent to the original OFP game! (damn codemasters) It doesnt say nothing about recomended sys. requiremnts! What system is required to be able to take adavantage of the new grapichal enhancement? I have to set the grahics at: low! Otherwise it crawles. My system: P3 1000 RAM 256 GFORCE 2 MX 400 OFP Benchmark 1658 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhoCares 0 Posted July 4, 2002 On german pack there is also a recommended configuration. Most important to run higher ground detail is RAM, 256MB is minimum, I have seen that Resistance needs about 180MB if Nogova is loaded on low details and more then 400MB with very high detail.

FetishFool 0 Posted July 4, 2002 You need lots of system RAM and video card RAM for this game. Processor speed only really matters when you put vehicles and AI onto the map. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FetishFool 0 Posted July 4, 2002 On a sidenote: BIS used to say that OPF never needs more than 256mb of RAM. But upgrading from 256 to 512 really made a difference for me... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(damn codemasters)<span id='postcolor'> The box mentions min. requirements are the same. Even old OFP at minimum requirements plays lousy. Now, if you look at OFPR's recommended config at BIS, you'll see that the cpu speed has been upped a notch and recommended RAM has also gone from 128 to 256. (this is also posted on The FAQ. Now, I've just come back after playing Resistance's introduction. I just got it in the mail today. My config dips a little below the recommended ones. I'm running on an IBM Thinkpad T20 PIII 700, 256MB RAM, with an 8MB onboard Savage Mark IX video chipset. I decided not to remove my unofficial addons and missions before installing OFPR. The install worked like a charm. I then went in to the new Preferences program and tweaked the settings up just a little. To be safe, I then rebooted. I started OFPR with -nosplash on the command line. Startup time till the menu appeared was just a few seconds longer than before OFPR was installed. However, I did notice that the menu's cutscene was a little more sluggish than it had been. I started the campaign. I wouldn't say it took forever to start. Again just a bit longer than in the past, which on my machine, was to be expected. While viewing and playing the intorduction, there was more sluggish behavior, especially in the urban areas. Walking/running with my machine and the above default settings was not easily controlable. Some sound clips repeated themselves twice but no permanent sound loops occurred. That's it for now. I'm going to reduce the settings and experiment some more. Where's my shotgun? In any case, I should be getting a new notebook soon. Looking at a Dell or IBM P4M 2G 512K with a 64MB video chipset and 15 inch screen. Drool! Drool! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MarcusJClifford 1 Posted July 4, 2002 I think that they may have underestimated the requirements for OPF:R My system is PIII 850 Mhz 384 MB RAM KyroII 4500 64MB Graphcs Card OFP Performance ~1600 Operation Flashpoint (Original) ran fine, very good if not too many units on map. I normally ran with setViewDistance ~ 1500 with LOD set to Min (Best) and all other settings to Best / Max With Resistance everyting is so much slower! (~ 5 FPS with the same settings - Unplayable) so I reduced all the settings and the game now runs semi-acceptably - viewDistance at 900 though with low details, no shadows etc. But at least when I am using a Sniper rifle / RPG scopes etc then I can use setviewDisatance up to 5000 now - very usefull for long range engagements (Say like blowing up planes on the ground with a RPG at 1000 Meters [Now what mission could that be ]) I would say recommended spac would be P4 1.7 Ghz, 512MB RAM and a GF3 + Graphics card.
