System Requirements

[FrozenEmpire]

The games are available on both Windows and MacOSX desktop platforms, and are primarily intended for systems with a dedicated GPU. Play on lower-end systems and laptops may result in poor graphics performance, in which case you should explore the "static" rendering mode below which may enable better performance at the expense of graphical quality. The game does not support tablet or mobile platforms.

Development was done on the Unity 2019.4 LTS release on Windows 10 Pro 64-bit and utilised many professional assets available for Unity.

Check GPU requirements
Since the 3d features place some demands on the graphical capabilities of your system, you can use the following guide to check whether your system meets the minimum requirements.

Windows users:
Download the GPU-Z utility and run it up, and check the highlighted fields as shown.



Your system must show at least the following minimum GPU specifications:
- DirectX Support >= 11.0 / SM 5.0
- Memory Size Ideally >= 3Gb (low detail) OR >= 6Gb (max detail)
(a lower GPU memory capacity will most likely still work, however at the cost of performance)

The higher the Pixel Fillrate and Texture Fillrate, the more fluid the game will run at higher resolutions.

MacOSX Users:
Your system must show at least the following minimum GPU specifications:
- Metal / SM 5.0 Support
- Memory Size Ideally >= 3Gb (low detail) OR >= 6Gb (max detail)
(a lower GPU memory capacity will most likely still work, however at the cost of performance)

”Static” rendering mode for improved performance:
This mode can be selected in the Graphic settings menu, and will switch rendering mode to only updating the scene after a command is pressed. This should significantly improve the game performance, but at the expense of the various animated effects.

CPU / Memory requirements:
The following are recommended:
- Quad core CPU/processor >= 3GHz
- Free System RAM >= 4Gb
(Hardware specifications below the recommendations above will most likely still work, however at the cost of performance)

Other dependencies:
Please check that the following components are installed and if not, follow the link to install them. These dependencies will be eventually built into the game installer upon public release.

Windows users:
- Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019.
