For higher resolutions, I think that Gavin has taken them into account, especially because the maps will be so much larger than they could ever hope to have been in BOTF1.

1024x768 or above will likely be the 'standard' resolution, but don't worry if your monitor can't handle that, because some lower resolutions will also be supported. Iwulff (The guy who is developing the ingame help Database) has also told me that his latest update lowers the resolution of the Database to 800x600, since quite a few people (Including me) found it almost impossible to read the text at the original resolution!

...

Gavin is definitely making the game work on Windows XP - he's developing it on an XP system, in fact. This means that DirectX 9 will likely be used instead of DirectX 6, although I don't know this for definite.

The game <should> still work on older systems, although he apparently isn't gonna test it on older systems - he's gonna leave it up to us to find out about any possible incompatibilities. (Which he may release patches for in the future, but that is up to him to decide)

higher screen res, yes.
xp compatible yes.
multiplayer i believe is 5 only to begin with.
a game lobby will be available and aslo direct ip,

Does anyone want the game to be tested on old systems to make sure it works fine?

it is being.

Not sure if it will run on my spec but I would be willing to test it.
AMD X2 4800+, 2GB of Ram, SLI 7800GTX and X-FI = I wish

My spec is actually as follows:
P4 3.06ghz, 2GB of Ram and Nvidia 6800GT.

lol i wanted that

My Spec is:

Athlon XP 2400+
512 RAM
FX 5500
70gb HDD
Win XP

Does anyone know where i can get the 3200+ version of the XP?

try a shop. there will be no testing by anyone bar the ones currently doing it. please don`t ask anymore, i`m bored saying no to people.

The AMD Athlon "Mobile" XP2500-M Barton. It clocks to 3200+ speeds nearly every time.

lol, since this thread has kind of gone down the computer specs path, I though I'd post this just to make all the techy people (like me) drool
I recently went to the site of my "kind of local" computer store and built the best possible computer I could, just for fun. (for now... ) (and you're absolutely right: I have neither life, nor job )
Here are the specs:
Processor: AMD Athlon 64 FX-57 @ 2.8GHz
Memory: 4GB of DDR2 RAM
Hard Drive: 2 Seagate Barracuda 400GB SATA
Graphics Card: 2 MSI 7800GTX 256MB PCI-E on an SLI board
Sound Card: Creative Sound Blaster Audigy2ZS Platinum Pro

Damn, with all that and moniter, speakers, mouse, keyboard, etc... it would make the X-Box 360 look like a Commodore 64

Now, does anyone have $8000 I can borrow?

Thanks for answering the questions guys.



btw TheWhiteRaven DDR2 doesnt work on athlon 64 motherboards. I think you meant to put DDR

3 Monitors?! 8O

Since you guys have done so, here's my spam.

I don't really understand much about computer specs, but I think mine are pretty good. (Except for the monitor)

Advent T9003 (Upgraded RAM)

Pentium 4 540 Processor, 3.21 Ghz (I think i have two of them, since there are two listed in the system properties)
1Gb RAM
250Gb Hard drive
16x DVD-ROM, 16xDVD-RW Multi Region (Double layer)
2x Radeon 9250 256Mb
AverMadia TV Tuner card
Not sure if I even have a sound card, but my computer does play sound and music!
Packard Bell A520 CRT Monitor

lol, the one I put before isn't my actual computer, (I'm not that rich) just one I made on a website.

@TrekBoyChris: Right on. ASUS A8N-SLI-DX was the board
@sideeffect: just looked at the motherboard specs again and you're right. I'll have to settle with DDR400. Thx.

these are my actual stats:

Processor: Intel P4 at 2.8Ghz with HT
Motherboard: AOPEN brand, not sure model
Memory: 512MB DDR333, soon to be doubled
Hard Drive: 80 GB Maxtor 6Y080M0
Sound: Creative Sound Blaster Live
Vid Card: ATI Radeon 9600XT
Speakers: 2 Aopen with Sub

all else is pretty basic

(Still waiting for that $8000...)

my spec is athlon 64 3000+ with 1gb ddr 3200 and 480gb hdd space with 6600 gc clocked to 6800 speeds using a heatpipe and all it cost me 6months ago was 400 pounds

as soon as i can afford a new hamster to power the little wheel in my tower i`m sure i`ll be as good as you guys, but i hope to upgrade to a coal powered one soon

What you want is a windup laptop jigalypuff. I minute winding for 10 mins botf use
