This might me a wee bit too early but anyway. When installing the game, will the installer check my system first to see whether I can run it, or is it fine as long as there is enough install space? Personally I think a quick check would be nice (even if it's unnecessary), given that it lets me install the game REGARDLESS of my specs.

Id hazard a guess that a standard UE3 installation would be what we would see?!

Yeah, it's not like there's a very effective way to see how well a game would run before actually installing a benchmark of some sort, and even then it's not a sure thing... Of course, a free demo including all the training stuff to let people see for themselves what the game has to offer and how well it would run is probably a great idea. -------------------- You don't mess with the Zohar!

Certainly premature, but I can't see how an installer could determine if the machine is "good enough". I have seen installers check off certain requirements for hardware but other than that I don't know how one would code something to make that determination.

Maybe because they are actually accurate? It told me I could run ArmA2 on my old machine at bare minimums on graphics, hey what do you know i could run ArmA2 on bare minimum on my machine.... --------------------  QUOTE (zack991) They are not a bad choice but anything that it lands on it will contaminate.

Even a completely random value is occasionally the correct one  I've seen plenty of people who got very different results than you.
