Mechwarrior Online System Requirements Detailed

[InAUGral]

XP will work, but unless you are running 64 bit you will fall below minimum specs. They say it works, just not very well.

Unless you have Windows XP 64-bit edition.

XP or no, I'm pumped for this game! I hope the f2p aspect doesn't bugger up the game play though.

If you do I feel sorry for you

people still use XP?! what pc game these days wouldn't have an OS more recent than XP?! i know not everyone is made of money, but for playing pc games, it's a bit of a given most of us will be running windows 7 or something lol

I'm far from rolling in cash, but if i plan on playing PC games, i know i need to upgrade to something atleast half decent

The question, at least for me, is why wouldn't it run on XP if it supports DX9? I have Vista so no biggie to me but i'm just curious over what physical limitations are present that it wouldn't work on XP.

Founders package was also launched today; if you reserved a name then they'll send you an email but the package details has also been posted.
It's reportedly only available for a limited time, no mention of how long though.

It should still run, but probably not going to be supported, ie: do not expect a patch to address something if it's specific to XP, and if a change in the future made it impossible to run on XP, say a shift to Dx10 or whatever, then no one can say foul since XP was never supported from the start.
