Minimum computer requirements?

#1 Post by Taxorgian »

I think there needs to be something describing how much RAM (graphical and otherwise) is needed/recommended for ToME 4. I suspect my box's 768MB RAM is way too low, since every level up requires at least 10 minutes of churning to complete and it goes over 550 MB of RAM while it churns.

Hum ..
When it tries to display the levelup screen or just the act of leveling up ?

Specifically during the talent adding phase. You can augment statistics with no problem, then it gets insanely slow trying to adjust talents.

Ah right, well let's try to optimize it ;)

It was fast in previous betas ?

Well Tax, I have 480 MB of Ram on a Pentium 4 processor and outside of an isolated case, the game works perfectly for me...

yufra also reported this issue on IRC. Maybe next time he's around he can help with improving it.

Maybe it's some kind of Windows Vista strangeness?

I have also been seeing this problem on my Mac OSX, and since no else seemed to be complaining about it thought it was either OS or computer specific. DG, this is why I was asking you about the profiling code the other day. I ran the talent levelup screen once in the profiler but it didn't act up that time, so further testing is required.
<DarkGod> lets say it's intended
