Would you expect this to run on a regular laptop or would it require a PC with a dedicated graphics card? Asking for a friend...

Dedicated graphics card, although a 6-7 year old game it is still a graphic intensive game

How do you download the game? I have the email receipt etc. W7

You need to go back to the Epic site and get the Epic Launcher.

You should also really consider downloading the Windows 10 installer as well. I'm not a big fan of Microsoft's current effort but W7 is end of life, not getting patches and more and more software and hardware companies are dropping support.

this will actually run on any laptop with only crappy intel integrated graphics if i3 and 8gb in last 6/7 years

it's a very well optimised game.

here it is playable on a 5 year old basic laptop

will run better on anything recent

Yeah the game is fairly well optimized for an open world title. It really depends on the laptop.

On a semi-modern i5 from recent years with integrated graphics it would run fairly similar to the PS3/Xbox 360 version, maybe a bit better in some respects.

That said if you already have a basic desktop PC, even adding a €50 2nd hand card like a GTX750Ti would run the game at 1080p med-high at 60fps, way above how it runs on Xbox One/PS4.

It's an easy game to run, especially on a desktop, but again it really depends on the laptop. They vary so much even in the same price brackets that it's impossible to blanket say.

Best to just directly ask "this is my exact spec, will it run". Worst case scenario you could get a 2nd hand gaming PC for literally €200 that would run this at high settings well enough.

Flashdan

This game came out on PS3 so it should be ok.

If you do have a nice PC you should check out some of the GFX mods.

I'm glad I waited the 7 years to get this for free!
Now I just need a PC to run it. I actually have a good gfx card in the wardrobe there. Any idea where I can get a €200 PC? Cheers

Pacifico

Stupid question here but is this only free to play until the 21st or can you add it to your account and download/play after that date?!

Theres a computer store in drumcondra that does 2nd hand computers, it's at the back of Berties old ff house across from Fagans pub. I got some stuff from them over the years and they were good to deal with.

I just did a quick search, they are called Computer Works and they are in Cian Park, it's a small industrial estate. I got a hard drive off them about 2 months ago. Not sure if they are open at the moment but you could try and ring them.

Vortex are apparently uploading the epic games version to their servers, if this happens there shouldn't be any issue with graphics

Thanks so much for the heads up with this. Got the GTA one. I cannot wait for Civilisation on the 21st if they really do release it!

I still play Civ II two decades on, gives me some nostalgia bang.

A housemate had Civ V on a console about eight years ago and it was some craic to play but when I moved out, I never bought it myself as I'm a stinge and just went back to playing II on my laptop.

Twould be class to play VI on PC!!

Loads on adverts.ie. Aim for at least an I5 processor and 8Gb RAM, eg

You can get the same PC on Ebay for about €130.

Throw something like a 2nd hand low profile GTX750Ti for €50 into this €100 PC and you can run GTAV at 1080p high settings.
