physical memory

from GalCiv3 Forums

hi why have you not sorted out the physical memory when it first came out i could play all the maps then you increased the memory and i was down to gigantic and now to meduim , why have you not sorted out this issue. I can not play this game now as i don't like the small maps , you are pricing out those with little money  and will lose out on a good game.

will this be sorted in future?

any suggestions 

regards

The excessive and insane maps were never supposed to be played with less than 16 gigs of memory. 

If you have 4 gigs of memory you are not supposed to play on maps bigger than large.

The minimum for ludicrous was 12 gigs of memory.

These were the original specs for the game. They are pretty beefy for the largest maps.

note the recommended game memory is 6gb and thus all maps should be able to play on that 

i could originally run insane on it now im down to meduimmap if they sell on this game on 6gb  as recommended they need to make sure the maps run on it other wise they need say on they sale page

the game is very playable on smaller maps with computers with less RAM.  The game was designed to also take advantage of computers with more resources.  

don't hate on the designers for designing for us too.

This is just an intensive game.  I played with 4G ram for a long time before getting a new computer (for other reasons than just this game) and I understand the frustration, but the limitations are there because (and only because) you don't have enough resources for a larger galaxy.

I feel your pain.

System Requirements:

RECOMMENDED:

    • Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system
    • OS: 64-bit Windows 10 / 8.x / 7
    • Processor: 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5 Processor or Equivalent
    • Memory: 6 GB RAM
    • Graphics: 1 GB DirectX 10.1 Video Card
    • DirectX: Version 10
    • Network: Broadband Internet connection
    • Storage: 15 GB available space
    • Sound Card: DirectX Compatible Sound Card

As many many people have  mentioned this is the recommended system to play this game. Then when you boot it up you find out that this is a total fabrication (more than half the maps locked) and the game requires atleast 16gigs of Ram and 8 Core Processor to be able to play the game on any map size.  These req's need adjusting, its pure false advertising.
