Will OpenBVE make my PC Bluescreen?
« on: April 02, 2013, 09:40:18 pm »
So I got OpenBVE. I heard it could screw up my pc if drivers aren't supported. So here's my tech specs.
PC Model: IBM T43 Thinkpad
Processor: Pentium M 1.86GHz
RAM: 1.50 GB
OpenGL version: 1.1

Help?

Your computer is too weak to run any modern routes.

Yep.

You should be able to run some of the older routes, such as the 7, E, L, uptown G, and the 42nd Street shuttle.
You will probably have horrid framerates on the newer routes though..

Yea you would get a blue screen if you push your computer to the limit. If you want a good FPS you should get an Intel i5, i7 processor and upgrade your ram to 4 GB. Also make sure your operating system is 64 bit instead of 32 bit. PS You would need a AMD or Nvidia graphic card. Don't use any integrated graphic card.  8)

Oh ok. Also i think updating graphics driver helps alot. I could barely play the new routes at 6-8 FPS, now after updating I get 15-65 FPS depending on the route/train.

I can't upgrade my drivers because Lenovo doesn't make graphics drivers for windows 7.

I suggest you just get a completely new computer... you would be lucky to get 20FPS on that machine... at most you would probably get 10-15.

The only chance you have of playing new routes is by scrapping this one and getting a new computer. The computer you have is a old laptop, which basically makes it un-upgradeable and IBM computers aren't generally used for gaming in the first place... they're better off in office settings

Ah. Then i'll just hog my mom's PC. By the way, would changing the processor fix the problem?
