Playing on an old, slow system.

[OldGamer]

This isn't a problem, but an unexpected success! I installed KB:L on my old Sony VAIO Laptop -- a Pentium M 1.7GHz with 1GB of RAM and ATI Mobility Radion 9700 video. (That's only 64MB of dedicated video RAM.) So, the laptop is well under the minimum requirements of the game.

And, it runs great! My load times are a little sluggish, and if I get crazy rotating the world around, the video lags -- but the game plays beautifully.

My question is -- I've only played my Mage to level 10, so I'm still early in the game. So far, no crashes or issues. Does anybody think later parts of the game might swamp my system? I'd hate to get to the end of the story and crash!

The only crash / crashes you should expect are game version related, not HW - my girlfriend plays the game on Destop but even weaker HW... it works... is slow and gets slower when she plays for longer time (as the old system can't access the Win XP virtual memory so fast - old HDD, old MEM, old CPU... old everything) but she was able to finish it...

Here are the game version related crashes [16b7 - all, 164 some, 165 none]
1.) Fighting Turtle -> two dialouges may open - game freezes -> just save after you will get out from the dwarven dirigible - F5...done. If this happens, press F8 and approach the Orc more carefully

2.) Marying the priate girl : Mirabelle -> after you do all she asks - game may crush - solution is patch 1.6.5 or above or MOD (to be found on this forum)

3.) Neoka can't have children ... this is no crush - but when I started to mention bugs... sorry (solution again: patch it to 1.6.5 or above)

Hmm... that's got me curious. I have a fairly decent laptop (Core 2, 2 gigs ram, etc.) but it has integrated graphics (Intel GMA3100.) Do you guys think it'd be able to run this? If so, I'll get another copy to load onto it for business trips and the like...

It may run on low settings, but not guaranteed. Try the demo on your laptop first.

well - the integrated video card could be an issue, but I run the game on integrated video card laptop as well - but the rest is better (Dell Latitude D620 - integrated video) and the game works perfectly (probably due the PRC is quite strong)... but well - be optimistic I would vote it will work for ya.

Okay, thanks!
