Default i'm trying to play the Lost game..

Lost: Via Domus that is..

here's my setup, is this enough info..

2.8 gig pentium D
1 gig of RAM
ATI Radeon X1550 Graphics Card

it says in the game manual that '2.4+ processor, 1GB RAM, ATI Radeon X1300-1950' should do it. my PC *should* work.

i just bought the video card so i could play this game.


i eventually had to turn every option all the way down, all the settings, everything.. otherwise it just didn't work. it's playable but it's still glitchy, and it can crash out of nowhere. now i'm at area that hangs up 100% of the time.. can't get past it.


i don't get it. i hate this crap. now what do i need to buy.. more memory? a better video card? an xbox?
is it a software thing (bios, directx, patch, etc)? would installing Vista help? this is driving me nuts... :yankingouthair:

that must be the minimum requirements. You need better hardware for it to run at max levels.

Try testing it here by selecting the game from the drop down list.

Is the card AGP, PCI, or PCIe? You should have spent about $80 or so and got a decent vid card like an 8600gt.

ok i'll try this one more time.. then it's console time. the card i bought is PCIe.. i'm going to buy the one you recommended now, will this do it?



i see yours is a XXX zalman.. does it matter? i know nothing, i don't game a whole lot.. i'm just a huge lost fan so i've gotta play this one i don't need everything cranked, i just want to PLAY IT.



that website says i pretty much need to upgrade everything except harddrive space, and CPU speed. i'm one notch above minimum on the rest i think..

*will this video card upgrade do the trick*??
