Graphics Card

Sweet I'm glad I will be able to play until i can gather funds for a new gaming PC and Thx I'll grab the drivers now

I'm really don't sure how playable this will be, but your GPU should support required OpenGL extensions and also you have enough RAM. So let's see what performance Beta brings.

my processor have never really given me problems and I'm on 64bit operating system so I think as long as the graphics card works I'll be ok but if not then my build up of not being able to play this game will be unleashed and blow up everyone I meet once I get a new PC that can run it

Tried installing game on this PC and got the error message "PA.exe" has stopped working. I have updated the video drivers etc.....and ideas?

Get a gtx 550 ti I have it and I get 60fps with slowbars at 1600x900 it will be about 110-130 USD

so this is still not good enough to run the game ?

This is your problem:

Code:

Sound Tab 1: No sound card was found. If one is expected, you should install a sound driver provided by the hardware manufacturer.

PA will crash on start if there no sound card, you probably need to install drivers on it.
And please: next time upload DxDiag as file using "Upload a File" button!

This hardware is enough to run game and it's above minimal requirements.

dam it lol, one day i will play this game lmao .....

Any problems with sound card drivers?

I've got a Radeon HD 4850 and it doesn't work better, it's crashing all the time, when I'm trying to generate a planet biome environment, or even simulate a solar system rotation.
I guess I'll have to wait untill I can afford a new graphic card or some update which will fix that problem.

updated sound card drivers but still crashes

i am struggling to get this game to work without having to spend a fortune on computer bits, not good fun, lets hope the game when its working lives up to a good standard ..............

Take off the side of your case and take photos of any stickers on the PSU.

Probably you don't need new graphics card, please upload your DxDiag.txt

Can you upload (NOT POST IT ON FORUM!) your new DxDiag.txt? Also can you try to run PA.exe directly as administrator?

Well, yeah, I'm kinda disapointed too, I thought my computer was not that old... I can still run Total War Rome II though.
Maybe it's a problem of processor? Same age as my GC but still a good one, it's a Q6600 (or something like that) a 5 or 6 years old quad core.

No DxDiag.txt == no cookies.

Seriously, upload you system information and let's see what is your problem.

dxdiag says no soundcard but there is one shown in the device list Realtek High Definition Audio, I have no speakers connected as its my work pc will that make a differance?

To be fair after that's all I don't know... But if there no sound card in DxDiag it's mean it's not working properly.

Have you tried to update sound card drivers and reboot?
