Title: Running Ship Simulator on wrong specs :doh:
Post by: Captain Cadet on December 16, 2013, 10:36:10
Hello.
I just realized that after playing ship simulator ever since it came out, i been playing it on  a 1 GB of RAM machine when the specs are 2 GB  :doh:
To be honest apart from a few minutes loading the game runs fine in free roaming with discreat graphics and Intel Pentium 32-bit machine (yes, its an old machine now...)
But this has got me thinking, what are the recommended specs of ship simulator based on seeing i managed to run it fine on half the recommended RAM without any issue?
Good news is im getting a new PC soon (probably on the christmas sales)  :thumbs:

Well, that's where Computers and people are very much alike in that no two are the same. Shipsim on my new computer runs like a dream with everything maxed out and checked except for refraction. When I add anistropic filtering through the GPU settings it brings it to it's knees even on the lowest settings in the sim. My monitor resolution is set to 1920x1080 so even without the anistropic settings through the GPU, the textures are still crisp enough to read the names on the ships zoomed out pretty good.
