Cyanide Legendary Edition on netbook?

Post by dboeren »

Question for you guys, will the Cyanide Legendary Edition run OK on a netbook?

I looked at the system requirements and I think it may fall a bit short but on a turn based game it seems silly that it shouldn't be able to run in some sense. I don't really care if the animations don't have as fluid a framerate or whatever.

So, has anyone tried it?

Alternately, has anyone been able to run it on a mac through some sort of emulator? I have the XBox version and it's fine as far as it goes but I'd really like to be able to play the other 15 teams.

Thanks!

If you can get to set the graphics level "REALLY" low" you make get away with it a bit, unfortunately it does run through a 3d engine so some grunt of the graphics side is really needed......netbook, 2d graphics..BB LE, 3d grphics

Disappointingly, that's my take on it as well. However, I should soon have a new netbook, and will try to report back. If your netbook has a decent screen res, you could always try out fumbbl.

yes fumbbl is a safe choice. I think i tried the old version on a rubbish machine and it worked with everything turned down or off. Might be worth on cyanide site and see if that gets any answers

I took a look on the cyanide forums and the consensus there is that it will not work on a netbook.

I've got three systems available to me:
XBox 360: Works fine, but that version only has 9 teams so it's missing a ton of stuff
Mac laptop: Has enough power to run stuff, but there is no mac version
PC netbook: lacks the grunt to run 3D stuff

So, looks like I'm sticking with the XBox and FUMBBL which will run fine on anything. Thanks anyway :)

Netbook I picked up for cheap to enter our league games into OBBLM at the store:

Intel N270
1 Gig ram
Intel GMA945 chipset
1024x600 resolution.

It loads the game and even will run the game on the field. It is so choppy that even getting it to register clicks can be annoying. Yes it will load and run the game but not in any enjoyable fashion.

I may try forcing the game into 800x600 or even seeing if I can reduce the textures but not much in the way available using the default drivers and no support from Rivatuner on Intel graphics.

If you got one of the newer netbooks or even the AMD Fusion chips it may run rather decently.

I am pretty certain it will run well on a netbook with the ION chipset. It is bearable with my Atom D510 with Intel GMA 3150 graphics and the ION blows that graphics chip away.
