Steam storefront hardware specs

Red51,

Considering the latest negative review ( the guy getting pissy because Rising World crashes on his stoneage computer ) and other issues reported by other players with Radeon 4000 series cards, I'd recommend changing the minimum hardware requirements on the Steam store page to specifically not include the 4000HD.

Fortunately still at this point every negative review has been found 0% helpful but it wouldnt hurt to avoid any future issues.

Oh whups! That reads Intel 4000, not Radeon 4000! ;-p

Anyways, it probably wouldnt hurt the specific card as a trouble point.

That's indeed a wise decision. I have a feeling that this isn't a perfect solution though, but since there are so many issues with outdated AMD/ATI drivers, as well as trouble with the Radeon HD 4000 series, we have updated the storepage now But since many people don't check the minimum requirements I'm afraid it won't help very much^^

You can only lead the horse to water but you cannot make it drink.

I just read the update on the store page. Looks much better.

LOL! Oh, this should help weed out more of the idiots insta-buying the game without research. They're too blame 100% for not re-searching what the game is about & for not knowing their own computer. If any of you silly simple-minded fools are reading this then......RESEARCH WHAT YOU'RE BUYING ON BOTH A COMPUTER & GAMING LEVEL! DO NOT RELY ON STEAM REFUNDS! That'll fall on deaf ears, as seen on 'American Truck SImulator' steam forums.

"My computer is brand new! I just bought it recently yet I can't play Rising World on it!" - Some silly person on steam forums.

Honestly though, I can understand people make mistakes and end up buying games that they can't run but what I do not understand is the attitude people have and blame Developers for their computer problems

Atleast a recent negative reviewer changed his thumbs down to thumbs up after Red jumped in there and tried to help troubleshoot. The other ones were just trolls

Yeah, You can't stop stupid. It's genetics with some people. But yeah put higher specs up there would help some old pc users. Lowering chunks sometimes helps on servers.
Some people do two specs. One min. One recommended for online or running well.
Most games shoot for highest specs on PCs by time it gets released it's usually obsolete PCs far as games goes.
Sometimes recommending windows version may help too. One more likely to meet specs required.
*Graphic Card XX gigs latest drivers

Also by time game ships might need higher specs. Since your going to have a lot more entities and players. Of course I seen a lot of CPU reduction happen once developers push some of the
graphics to GPU rather than CPU but I don't ever pay attention to what game is doing since it's always ran fine even in alpha.

Servers little slower but don't know about other person's hardware.
This game seems pretty smooth already at least single player.

Yeah a true gamer doesn't let your Graphic cards or mother boards/cpu get to old.
You can't help some people are like bubbling lava you just get burned people acting like kids and raging.
