Hello (And asking for help)
« on: October 15, 2008, 07:35:34 pm »
Well, first off, I want to say hello. The name's Sachiko Kotobuki.

This game looks very gorgeous, so I decided to give it a try, and DLed the demo... However, I seem to be experiencing some kind of problem.

I load the game with no Vsync, nor Frame Buffer, nor mipmap, but even then, the game goes at, approximately, 1 frame every 2 or 4 seconds, sometimes even more, even though the music goes fine. This speed is, of course, completely unplayable.

I have a Pentium 4 at 2.4 Ghz and 512 MBs of RAM, and sound card shouldn't be a problem related to this, since music goes just fine. The issue is, My Video card is a Geforce 2 at 32 MB of RAM. Could this be the problem of the tragic slowdown? If so, what video card could be adequate, as a bare minimum, to make the game work fine?

It is a pity this game does not work in my comp, because, from the trailers and Youtube videos, it looks beautiful. So, could you please help this poor soul in need? ;.;

My guess would be that you need more than 32 megabytes (at least 128)  for your Graphics card, if that doesn't help, try updating your drivers. Also, if you have a lot of other programs running, it will really slow down the game.  (IMHO)  ;)

Good luck, and welcome  to the forums!

Quote from: FAQs
1. What are the game's system requirements?

1.6Ghz
256MB RAM
Mid/High-End Video Card
Latest Video Card Drivers w/ OpenGL support
Sound Card
200 Mb Free Hard Disk Space

Do you consider your card mid/high-end?
I'm not up to date with stuff like that...

PS:
Good luck, and welcome  to the forums!
Looks better this way, eh? ;)

Thanks for the pointer, I should've gone to the help section of the forum before spending 30 minutes trying to do what probably took you 5 minutes! Sheesh, Chibi.  ;D ;)

I would say that a graphics card with only 32 MB of on-board ram is a very low end graphics card in this days market.
