Installation question (not a "Can I run it" thread)

Post » Wed Dec 02, 2015 12:49 pm

I have an AMD Radeon HD 7850 2GB graphics card, while the minimum specs call for an AMD Radeon 7870 2GB card. I've been assured that I can run the game, but I'm worried that when I go to install the game, it will do a system check and not allow me to install the game at all since I don't meet minimum specs. I'm probably just being weird and worrying over nothing, but I'm still new to PC gaming, so I'm wanting to be sure I will be able to actually install the game. As far as I'm aware, once I can get it installed I should be fine, but I want to make sure that I can actually get it installed in the first place. The fact is, while I have the money to buy the game twice if need be, I really shouldn't be dropping that much money at once, so I want to make sure that I can actually install the game before I drop money on the PC version later today. Am I worrying over nothing, or should I pick up the XB1 version instead?

I have never heard of a game refusing to install on PC because hardware requirement... So, you are worrying for nothing.

Alright. That's good to know. As I said, I'm new to PC gaming, so I don't know how these things work. Thank you for the answer. It sets my mind at ease.

Sorry I was kind of rushing around a minute ago and nether read your full post properly. I gathered you were having preload issue's.

No, I preordered a physical copy at my local GameStop. Partly because I only need to put $5 down to preorder; with most digital preorders, it's an all-or-nothing setup, and being able to put a few dollars down here and there is a better setup for me (apparently, I'm actually technically poor, even though I have no problems keeping a roof over my head and food on my table). The drawback is that I have to actually go out and pick the game up in order to play it, but I need the exercise anyway, so... :P
