Holy hijacked thread Batman!

You might be able to run it, but it would be a slideshow. Your system needs an overhaul, but get some more ram and a new vidcard at the very least.

On topic, Bioshock's requirements don't look too extreme.

kk ty i dealt with lag befre trust me ive played wow so if i oblivion it will be laggy i can handle that but will i have like sum enjoyable moments or its lag ever time i move in the game or it will lag often but ill have sum time to walk around

I would guess that anytime your character is outside, the game would crawl. You might have an enjoyable moment once in a while in the dungeons, but I wouldn't count on it.

The following is taken from here: http://www.elderscrolls.com/games/oblivion_faq.htm

What are the PC system requirements?

Recommended:

3 Ghz Intel Pentium 4 or equivalent processor
1 GB System RAM
ATI X800 series, NVIDIA GeForce 6800 series, or higher video card
Minimum System Requirements:

Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows XP 64-bit
512MB System RAM
2 Ghz Intel Pentium 4 or equivalent processor
128MB Direct3D compatible video card
and DirectX 9.0 compatible driver;
8x DVD-ROM drive
4.6 GB free hard disk space
DirectX 9.0c (included)
DirectX 8.1 compatible sound card
Keyboard, Mouse

512 MB recommended for GPU?

What % of video cards currently in use has 512 MB?

maybe 10%? 20% tops?

I guess that means medium textures for a lot of people.

yea kk ty i bought oblivion i went to this site called oldblivion it was a mod patch to make the game work fast and graphics look very nice!! so yeap my oblivion is running the way i like it so ty guys

imaan1115, the way you type, I think I'd refuse to group with you out of principle.

Maybe you should start a new thread asking your question instead of hijacking another thread.

Try and spell properly & put some grammar in so we can understand what you are trying to say.

Anyways... I'm assuming for those of you people who have any made major upgrades within the last year to their computer will be able to play this game at comfortable settings. I'm also guessing Unreal Tournament 3 will have similar system requirements.

Unreal Tournament 3's requirements are going to be alot less then this, you know what it took to play the last one  

Hi every1..
Well, I ve been facing some problems running Bioshock PC on my new HP laptop..
My laptop is great for running the game i guessed, but it isn't smooth at all.. like im running it on a pentuim processor..
My laptop has :
2.53 Ghz intel core 2 due processor
4 GB ram
256 MB VGA.. g force 9600 nvidia
Vista hope Premium operating system

I though those wuld run the game Greatly but it isn't and i don't know the reason,

i checked the vedio card updates on nvidia, but it seems that my laptop has everything UP TO DATE and that's really driving me crazy!!


Plz If any1 knows what's the problem, or how to solve it, or atleast the reason y it is happening, add in here and ill be gratful  
Or contact me at no0issom@yahoo.com tyvm

I recommend you start a new thread of your own, not resurrect a year old one.

wow

how do you even find a thread that old...

that takes pure skill...

I found a thread from 2004 i think about some guy asking if he can get the hot coffee mod on his xbox. I replied to it and it was at the top of console gaming for a while lol.

Oh yeah and I also recommend you use correct grammar..
Som1 iz moor likelee to pozt n ansr if u yoos correct grammaar n spelin  

^ Just what I thought. When will kids learn that a forum is not their msn environment... *Sigh

To the regular crowd, now that the thread is resurrected you could also try to help him out. You can't blame him for being off topic now can you?

Well, This isn't a 1st grade grammar class..But i guess u knew what i was trying to say and that's what i was aiming at..
now say something helpful if u plz!

Ok sorry, I was having fun..... 

Do you know how many fps's you are getting? What settings are you running the game at? Are you using Anti-aliasing or any other demanding settings? What is your laptops screen resolution? Any more info you can give us would be helpful.

I haven't played this game before so I don't know much about what options it will offer you. But try running the game at lower settings. Try turning off AA if there is any or any other resource demanding settings.

Can you play any other games on your laptop? Are you having any other problems?

Oh yes and could you post the model number of your HP laptop?

i dunno what fps is, and there r no anti aliasing in the game.
screen resolution: 1200x800, so i adjusted the game resolution on 1280x800 (widescreen)
and here is the laptop model HP DV 41070

can be found on this link

ty

and btw, im running the game on the medium settings.. but it isn't making a big differance,
and about other games, yeah, i do play Virtual tennis 3 on this laptop, and im using its maximum graphical settings and is working very well !!

Soo??!!
Nothing u can do to help or what??!

Time to bring this thread back to life...again.
I installed Bioshock onto my computer but whenever I run it, it crashes after the load screen. Any ideas why?
Computer specs:
2.2Ghz Duo
3GB RAM
Mobile Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 384MB (I think the video card might be the reason...)
Thanx

As well as it's not exactly legit. It's an .iso file that I ran with Daemon Tools...Might it be missing a required file?
I checked my graphics card and its DX 10 compatible. Thought that would be the problem...

Well, 2 things. 1. You need a better video card, even if that's not the problem. I suggest the HD 4670.

2. BUY THE BLOODY GAME YA DIRTY PIRATE!!!

(Sorry.)

Mmm but I have a laptop so I on can't really upgrade it too easily. And I already have the game on 360 at home (at uni far far away..) and I didn't want to spend money to buy it a second time...
Oh well, I guess karma won't let me play. Thx anyways.

$20 on steam... how can you go wrong?
