Yes, your PC will run this game, however, you may have to set the graphic settings a bit lower than the default.  But your PC WILL run this game.

You will probably be able to run it on low settings at a resolution around 1280x720 or 1600x900.

Here are the System Requirements from the sale page on Steam:

 

  • Minimum:
    • OS: Microsoft Windows XP/Vista/7/8/8.1 (64-bit)
    • Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo, 3.0GHz or AMD Athlon 64 X2 6400+, 3.2GHz
    • Memory: 4 GB RAM
    • Graphics: nVIDIA GeForce GTX 260, 512 MB or ATI Radeon HD 5670, 512 MB (Does not support Intel Integrated Graphics Cards)
    • DirectX: Version 9.0c
    • Network: Broadband Internet connection
    • Hard Drive: 4 GB available space

Recommended:


  • OS: Microsoft Windows 7/8 (64-bit)
  • Processor: Intel Core i5-3470, 3.20GHz or AMD FX-6300, 3.5Ghz
  • Memory: 6 GB RAM
  • Graphics: nVIDIA GeForce GTX 660, 2 GB or AMD Radeon HD 7870, 2 GB (Does not support Intel Integrated Graphics Cards)

Am I wrong in thinking some of your specs are below Minimum? Most of mine meet the Recommended (my video card is below recommended) and my computer struggles with this game.

    FML

    So ive bought and installed the game. Got it loaded up and it shut down my PC

    after i plopped the first peice of road to unlock roads right at the beginning. Sigh

    This is what is happening to my graphics card...

    Im not very good with all the graphics stuff u can change within your PC but im hoping that

    perhaps, there is something ive got set wrong that is causing the card to overheat.

    Any suggestions welcome.

    Sounds like you forgot to lower your graphics settings and maybe your screen resolution.

     

    A 4350 is below spec, so you'll need every as low as it will go in game.

     

    fyi, 96 C is barely in spec.  Your card should be able to handle 100C, but it's a good idea to have it below 80C.

     

    also, make sure you've updated your video card drivers to the latest version.

    I'm really excited to try this game ,but I definitely have to upgrade my computer since it's just running XP.

     

    I'm thinking of getting a Asus desktop to run it but not quite sure about how good the processor is. If someone who has had experience this kind of setup could give me a recommendation I would really appreciate it.

    • 4GB DDR3 1TB HDD
