    I have two questions

    1) I was looking at the game system requirements and it says 64 bit, now I have a 64 bit operating system. I'm just wondering if that is toward operating system or the color settings?

    2) and also my graphics are choppy at times...is this cause its the alpha version and the code is still being written or is it due to the fact I don't have a dual core porcessor and also due to the fact that I may not have 64 bit color?

    Any help would be much appreciated :)

    By the way my computer is an Acer Aspire 4830TG-6808 operating on Windows 7 Home Premium, if that helps narrow down the solution/problems

    64-bit is the OS requirement. If it runs you are fine there.

    The choppiness is just normal performance issues of an alpha.

    Hello there,

    I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate x64 on my computer and here is its hardware :
    - AMD Phenom II X6
    - 8 GB DDR3 Corsair Vengeance
    - GeForce GTX 660 (2GB GDDR5, O/C)

    I also have a 1TB RAID1.

    Even with the lowest ingame configuration, the game is still laggy.

    So yes, I guess this is just normal performance issues from an alpha.

    I hope it'll get smoother than this when the final build comes :)

    So pretty much having a dual processor has nothing to with any of this?

    Game only heavily load CPU when you start new game (map is re-generated on client).
    I think your Core i5-2450M is okay for playing PA.

    Also please run DxDiag tool (Start > Run > type "dxdiag" without quotes), press "Save All Information" button and upload your DxDiag.txt as attachment on forums.

    This file not only give information about your hardware, but about your drivers.
    Developers need it to know what configurations need more optimizations.
