aka_tom_w Posted February 6, 2001 Share Posted February 6, 2001 Talk about eye candy and great graphics! The RUNE demo is 82 megs BIG and requires at least 190 megs of RAM! I got it from: http://www.runegame.com/downloads.php download from here: http://www.macgamefiles.com/download.taf?item=14800 The read me says: Starting Up the First Time Rune will attempt to detect your machine's speed and graphics hardware, and set itself up the first time it runs to play best on your computer. You can change the graphics, sound, and input device options at any time using the "Settings" menus in the game. You can further refine these options by changing settings in the Rune.ini file located in the game folder. However, be aware that changing these options can affect how much memory is needed. You may have to increase the Rune application's memory partition size. Rune requires 3D video hardware, and supports cards that use the Glide and RAVE API's. Software rendering still works, but is not supported for Rune. This means you can run Rune in software mode, but there may be rendering problems. Rune does not use OpenGL for rendering. ••• VERY IMPORTANT ••• Rune has its application memory size set to 185000K. You must make sure to set your computer's Virtual Memory size so that you have MORE than that amount available to run the game. Before running Rune, choose the "About This Computer" option from the Apple Menu and look at the "Largest Unused Block" amount. It must be at least 190 MB, or Rune will not run properly. AND this is JUST the DEMO!!!! Talk about targeting HIGH end graphics capable computers ONLY! WOW -tom w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full games don't usually do anything different from demos, they just have more of it. In other words, they don't require any more RAM. ------------------ This allows me to consider my Draw a Major Victory, according to the modified curve standard in use by the World Massacre Association. – Mark IV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gremlin Posted February 6, 2001 Share Posted February 6, 2001 Rune just uses a modified Unreal/Unreal Tournament engine, actually, which is a number of years old Looks sweet, to be sure, but not cutting edge. ------------------ New to Combat Mission?

Mace Posted February 6, 2001 Share Posted February 6, 2001 Way off topic! I thought you were talking about RUNE, the most evil of the CMBO scenario designers, and bane of many a sane person's life! Mace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slapdragon Posted February 7, 2001 Share Posted February 7, 2001 Rune the CMBO player is actually an AI and indeed he does take up 190mb of RAM. I loaded him on my G4/500 2x and ran him in create scenario mode, and he began to create this 10,000 point advance through a swampy mountain side by green Polish Paratroopers that.. well it was a nightmare. The only problem with the Rune AI is he then started downloading porno files onto my media drives (3gb at last count) and launching CM at random intervals with the volume turned all the way up while he hosted odd chatrooms on the care and feeding of hamsters. Beware the Rune AI download..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffsmith Posted February 7, 2001 Share Posted February 7, 2001 the Deus Ex Demo required about 190 MB, the Final version only needs 128 So often they tighten the memory requirements up betwwen the Demo and the Final release Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
