Can i run BS1?

[Kunze]

i can run lock on platinum on highest settings

 

i have an ATI 5770 1gb version

 

4gb ram

 

intel core 2 duo 3.0ghz cpu

 

 

 

 

 

note: i beg of you not to come in here telling me just get bs2, A. i clearly cant run it(i tried installing dcs world and when i tried launching a mission in the SU25 my pc froze and had to be turned off by holding the power button), and B. i have no money to get a better comp

 

so unless you plan on buying me the computer to run it do not tell me to just get bs2

Yes, you'll be able to run BS1 quite well. It won't look as pretty or have as many features as BS2, but load times will be much swifter and the core sim, including most of the mission content, is identical. Have fun! Although you might want to read my post in the "How Do I Combat" thread when you feel up to tackling the Georgian Oil War campaign. :)

i do have 64 bit, however dcs just crashes my comp

 

i have lock on platinum which to my knowledge uses BS1 base and i rather enjoy it

 

 

 

thanks Scottish

 

 

 

and to expert are you sure? cause min reqs says 6gb? also im fairly sure it would look very bad and probably be difficult for me to determine terrain and such

The 6GB requirement is new as of 1.2.6. I'm still running 4gb of RAM and things seem to work fine, although load times were terrible in 1.2.6 -- they're fine in the 1.2.7 beta. I'd say download DCSW and see how it performs. You will for certain be able to run BS1 splendidly, however, as it and FC2 both use the same version of the engine.

problem is i dl'd DCS World and tried launching a mission where there was literally nothing but me in an SU25 and my pc froze and had to restart

How recent was this? I recall getting nearly 30-40fps with a mere 3gb of DDR2, 2.93ghz e7500, gtx 560 ti 1gb in DCS world before a few of the most recent patches that raised the minimum specs (I have since upgraded). I got similar frames in BS1.

 

Min Specs for BS1:

 

Minimal system requirements: OS: Windows XP, Vista; CPU: 2 GHz; RAM: 1 GB; Graphics: 256 MB ATI or nVidia, DirectX 9 compatible; Sound card; 4 GB of free space on HDD; Copy protected, requires internet activation.

 

Recommended system requirements: OS: Windows Vista for launching in fullscreen mode; CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6850+, AMD Phenom 9850+; RAM: 2+ GB; Graphics: 512+ MB ATI HD 2900+ or nVidia 8800+; Sound card; 4+ GB of free space on HDD; Copy protected, requires internet activation; Joystick.

 

 

Based on your PC, you should be able to run it just fine. :pilotfly:

 

You just need a 64-bit Windows 7 and 2 more GBs of RAM.

Are you on 32-bit?

 

BS1 runs slower than BS2 actually.

It's less optimized and an old engine.

 

DCS runs super fast with HDR off and AA off, Mirrors off, Water low, etc.

 

Seriously consider getting BS2, it's on sale.

You can tweak DCSW to run on your system.

It's not your hardware. DCS requires 64-bit Win.

 

Getting 2GB of more RAM is not so easy, as it depends on how much the motherboard actually supports in the first place, and further, finding good DDR2 (i am assuming) RAM for a decent price(6gb usually goes for abt $100+ for such horrible RAM).

well im installing bs1 now so well see :pilotfly:

 

 

and it was a few days before my op
