Was the magazine moved to the bottom on the MP40 like a proper MP40? Or is the HUD model different from in-game?

Ouch. That really puts into perspective just how dated my computer really is.

What are the specs.... they can't be as bad as mine.

I am sorry if modern "g a m e r s" were a bit scared and confused by the last screenshot I had posted. It wasn't authorized.

Here is the official version, which should make modern "people who play modern games" and console owners feel better about the product.

I actually saw that screenshot (minus the jokey annotations) in Steam on the ROTT page earlier.

lol I wanna see ReaperMan's specs first. But I think my comp so far is leading the game in worst computer.

This thing used to have a ton of hanging and stuttering problems until I reserved 4 gigs on the hard drive as virtual ram. Keep in mind this is probably the best computer in my house. I could afford a new computer if I wanted. I guess this shows how much I care about new games.

[ReaperMan]

Radar..... its time you think about upgrading.

Thats a pretty big step up since the last screens I saw, very nice.

That's actually a pretty old screen, we just never put it anywhere I guess. WOO NEW SCREEN!

Box art coming this week. And official partners announcement.

Hint: It's Steam, GoG and Green Man.

Also, it should run on XP. Let me tell Valve to fix that. The Steam page is still a work in progress and is missing the videos etc.

ALSO, this is the official steam group run by one of our forum members: http://steamcommunit...m/groups/rott13 JOINY JOIN JOIN

Dude that's not even a "new games" issue...how the fuck can you browse the web on such a heaping piece of shit? My cell phone kicks that thing's ass...

He should upgrade to your nickname.

[Tea Monster]

At least stick a full gig of ram in that thing.

[Micky C]

Why doesn't it at least have directX 10 and/or 11 as an option? Things like tesselation could help keep the game looking good many years down the track, even if many PCs today have a bit of trouble running things at max settings.

Efficiency. This computer taught me more about the concept of optimization than I ever cared to know. It really has made me a disciplined user. It's a blessed curse.

I guess they just lazy to do those DirectX v10 and v11-only things and with do all of v9 stuffs the same time(or lack some knowledge/guys know how do DX10/11 effects in UE), those "new" things may increasing the develop time of RoTT2013 and may cause more problems, I guess.

I have 2Gig of RAM and I still feel not enough to run 2 or more of Flash webgames/Unity engine games/MMO games with client...those memory greedy beasts!

[Tea Monster]

On his machine, 1 gig is the 'sweet spot' where it will actually begin to be usable. For machines made in this century, the absolute minimum is two gigabytes, and you should be looking at four for general use.

Didn't you read what I said about efficiency? I'm real good at optimizing my applications. A single page usually takes only a minute and a half.

Ok, I'll confess. I have a Windows 7 laptop too, but even if the fancy stickers and numbers represent a decent laptop, it doesn't stop it from taking a whole ten minutes just to open a web browser and another ten minutes to open piratebay.se and... yeah I'll stop there. Not to mention my Vista comp before that. That stupid computer died on me within two years. On the other hand, this 11 year old computer is the only thing that's lasted forever. Startup takes no more than a minute and I'm on the forum in 10 seconds. My PCI WiFi card was the perfect addition. This computer has put up with so much crap that I know it can't handle that I almost feel like it has a mind of its own. I don't even have virus scan or Windows Firewall on. It'll be a sad day when it break down on me, since I've had such a miserable experience with new computers. Not to mention the memories, oh the memories...

Limitations of this computer includes: stuttering YouTube vids, videos larger than 2 GB unplayable, only 1 major program can run at a time (hefty background programs cause a huge problem too, which is why I can't use a virus scan). One of the most interesting things I noticed is that the hDuke and xDuke source ports cause a ton of lag when running Skype, while EDuke32 is a breeze, which is peculiar considering that the former ports should be much simpler. Good job at optimizing your source port to the max, EDuke32 team! Every bit of power a programs hogs is noticeable on my computer. It doesn't have much longer; a strong slap on the side of the computer makes it freeze up until that magic 8-second button hold is executed. Any day now...

[Tea Monster]

486dx2 was right, you are crazier than a moth in a disco.

[Jimmy]

Totally. My machine has 756mb of RAM, and it's fucking unbearable.

I threw away at least 5 computers ranging from 2 to 5 times faster than your current pc and even though I afford to get pretty high end machines every 2 or 3 years I am not a super rich person either.
What you have there can't even play 2000 games properly.
Doom3 which was released in 2004 would not run even on low on your pc, without massive stuttering.

[Radar]

Need For Speed Most Wanted from late 2005 is perfectly playable on this computer at low settings. I'm positive I could run Doom 3 at 640 x 480 resolution and extra visual bells & whistles off.

Should I tell him that doom3 runs maxed out at over 30 fps on today's decent android mobile phones and tablets already and can even run at at least 10 fps with dynamic lighting and shaders on some of the better phones from 2 years ago?

[Radar]

Dude Crysis works on my computer without a problem on max settings at 60 fps.

Aww yeah of course

[leilei]

Crysis shouldn't even initialize without a shader model (GF4MX has no pixel shaders and will not run any UnrealEngine3 or CryEngine2/3 games).
FarCry does have a fixed function path and should run around 20-40fps on a Geforce2 and a Geforce4MX at the cost of stencil shadows and reflective water.

I know I shouldn't feed the retrotroll, but facts > *
