MFW I can't run Fallout 4

 

Turns out my graphic card is too old to run it. My processor is *just* above the minimum requirement but it's also pretty old and doesn't function like it should.

I am probably better off buying a new computer. Even though I've only had this one for four years.
This is a sad day for me.

Worst part is that I can't look at all the Fallout content you guys are posting.
Hope you enjoy the game fellas.

fallout man cant play fallout 4
all is lost
#220 to #1 - alanalot (11/11/2015) [-]
**alanalot used "*roll picture*"**
**alanalot rolled image**<-----my PC
I can play it at a whopping 720p at 60ish fps on high settings
my specs are
2.6Ghz (overclocked to 3.15) i5 dual core
GTX 860M (4Gb video memory)
8GB DDR3 Ram (1 slot still empty)
should I get a new laptop?

I can't ******* play myself
User avatar #130 to #80 - mudkipfucker ONLINE (11/11/2015) [-]
you can play with yourself and thats fine too
#6 - fantasticfox (11/10/2015) [-]
I know how you feel
I came close to pre-ordering it on Steam until i checked the spec requirements
Had to settle for the XboxOne version instead
User avatar #84 to #6 - infinnerty (11/10/2015) [-]
I heard their bringing some mods to the xbox one, probably carried over from established mods on PC when their eventually made.
#82 to #6 - thelonesniper (11/10/2015) [-]
Just a quick heads up, those required specs are blown out the ******* water. If you can run GTA V at all, you can run this game. I have a duel core 3.0MHz and 8GB of ram and I get 20-70 fps. Really Bethesda, An i7? Complete ******** ...
User avatar #115 to #82 - OtisMcWonderful (11/11/2015) [-]
Those are recommended specs. The minimum is like a Phenom II X4 945 and a 2GB 7870. The game has some fairly low requirements.
#236 to #82 - sesshii (11/11/2015) [-]
What's your GPU? A Dualcore 3ghz(i suspect you ment Ghz not Mhz) should do just fine.
The GPU however...

i7 is a piece of ****
#11 - captaintoasty (11/10/2015) [-]
I don't have any way of playing this game at all, I'm heading to a buddy's place later today to watch him play it.
#239 to #11 - veryfahnyjokes (11/11/2015) [-]
Dude I have a computer with windows vista, intel quad-core processor and nvidia gt 220 graphics card. I won't play the game until I buy a new computer and there is a reason why I'm stuck with this one, I'm broke. So I try to avoid fallout content and see as little of the game as possible so that when I llplay it 5 years from now it will be new to me. Also fallout content makes me cry.

I don't know if it's too late.. but.. if you really care for it you shouldn't spoil the game for yourself m8
#35 to #30 - anon (11/10/2015) [-]
I mean you either kill your son, or nuke Boston. Am I right..? Heh.

I somehow managed to see your comment first. I just wanted to tell you that I love you.
#227 to #218 - anon (11/11/2015) [-]
Yeah same, sometimes I am happy we have some decent people around. Nuke Boston or kill your son

"To watch him play it"

How can you get cucked with a video game?

I suppose "friend" was the wrong word to use...

How hard do you think my arm will have to throw to launch my old gtx 650 at you so you can slap it on your computer?
User avatar #92 to #7 - yuichka (11/11/2015) [-]
gtx650ti reporting

i wish for a better graphics card...

i was using gt 220 for around 5 years so it was still a big step forward
#9 to #7 - thelizardlord [OP](11/10/2015) [-]
It would require at least 173% in Throwing.
More wouldn't hurt though.
#10 to #9 - ztron (11/10/2015) [-]
I'll make sure I also have Heave Ho! for that extra power.
User avatar #8 - medxforme ONLINE (11/10/2015) [-]
I know that feel thelizardlord. I don't have any way to play fallout 4, so I'm hoping I don't get too many spoilers from being on here today

I haven't gotten any yet, just a screenshot here or there but nothing more
#173 to #140 - daix (11/11/2015) [-]
Avoid the comments. At least on anything even remotely related to Fallout. I've had a big thing ruined for me because I scrolled down and some ******** wanted to be a dick. I'm hoping my **** memory will allow me to forget about it by the time I get around to actually playing it when I finally get a PS4.
#2 - satrenkotheone ONLINE (11/10/2015) [-]
I can run my game for 10 minutes at the time but due to having a GTX 580 I suffer from a strange driver glitch/bug/thing that just shuts off my driver randomly even though the card is holding up just fine.
#263 to #2 - Smashyy ONLINE (11/18/2015) [-]
I kind of know the answer to that.
#99 - superanonymouspers ONLINE (11/11/2015) [-]

>tfw had to leave my gaming pc at home and move into a dorm for college
>tfw bought a piece of **** asus laptop so I could write reports
>tfw I can barely run undertale
>tfw the only thing I have to play games is roommate's ps4
>tfw he only plays COD and war games
such is the life of a college gamer
#148 to #129 - anon (11/11/2015) [-]
I highly reccomend taking the risk and moving your gaming pc to college, It helps me massively because of the power it has in connecting to homework sites at a reasonable speed. No joke. I would reccomend shipping it yourself (assuming you can drive) and use foam (possibly the box it came in) to protect it while keeping the wires and cords in separate baggies, to site on the passengers seat. Then take the pc and put it in the space between the passenger seat and the back row, move the passenger seat back until the pc fits snuggly between them. Then drive. Drive and play gloriously my friend.
User avatar #149 to #148 - highkey (11/11/2015) [-]
I live 1,400 miles away from my hometown and I don't have enough space in my dorm to fit it anywhere. I just use my laptop on my bed, and thats pretty much all I can fit.
User avatar #213 to #149 - demonpinguin (11/11/2015) [-]
I'm sorry to hear dude, how big is your dorm? I built my PC last semester and just found room for it in my old room because I needed to play Evolve (got it as a gift and was hyped for it). Best of luck friend, don't get too many spoilers. I'm in my dorm waiting for my parents to mail me my Pipboyedition to my dorm

get a job and stop whining about your toaster pc.

it's a toaster cause you don't work for your pc build.

phenom II x6 1055T 2.5GHz
6GB Ram
GTX 750 Ti 2Gb Ram

Will try game in aprox 2 hrs, hope i can run it or i will have to sell my jobless, tight little ass for PC parts

Wish me luq
User avatar #62 to #34 - yaybacon (11/10/2015) [-]
Minimum requirements require 8 gigs of RAM
User avatar #65 to #62 - mephiblis ONLINE (11/10/2015) [-]
To that i say... Fallout is awesome bruv, holy shet i shrreeeeeded some muddafugas with muh power armor + minigun ograsm cocktail woo weee wooo weee.


Besides most things being set to low, with the specs i listed the game runs perfectly on 1920x1080 resolution with no stuttering or artifacts etc.
User avatar #66 to #34 - oceanmist (11/10/2015) [-]
RAM is on the low side but you're fine. You should be able to hit ultra settings at 1080p if you're willing to play at 35FPS. Its pretty well optimized.
User avatar #67 to #66 - mephiblis ONLINE (11/10/2015) [-]
Hmm you sure? The auto detect set most things to low but maybe i can give higher settings a try.
User avatar #72 to #67 - oceanmist (11/10/2015) [-]
Yup, playing with a 750ti and a worse CPU fx6300 thats what i run it at. I have 8gb of RAM though, but it shouldn't matter much. People are saying the amount of RAM you need is actually much lower than 8.
The autodetect is probably trying to give you 60FPS, but IMO this isn't some twitch shooter and you don't need super high FPS.
User avatar #75 to #72 - mephiblis ONLINE (11/10/2015) [-]
Will give it a whirl in the mornin, thanks for the tips!
#29 - vashadan ONLINE (11/10/2015) [-]
I might as well have the same problem, my processor is outdated and i've got the minimal required graphics card, good thing i cant find out because i cant buy a game for 40$   
MFW im 3d world peasant

I love how the only posts on here are people saying they can't play fallout 4 or that they hate it.

I'm starting the think that the people who hate fallout actually just can't run the game, cuz I'm having fun.
Only reason I'm here is cuz I need a quick break after 13 hours straight.

I've noticed that pattern too, I think the term is called "Hipster"
as in
Funnyjunkers only like things that are uncommon and hate things that are mainstream or will go out of their way to find things wrong with stuff that is mainstream.
User avatar #156 to #155 - poutinesalad (11/11/2015) [-]
deleted my comment because I said basically the same thing twice haha.

Yeah I know. Maybe I've grown up or something. Maybe I've come to realize alot of the users here are just plain ****** people.
#137 to #124 - anon (11/11/2015) [-]
maybe you like it because you're stupid and easily entertained
User avatar #139 to #137 - mendelevium (11/11/2015) [-]
Wouldn't rule it out, certainly a possibility.
But if a bunch of stupid people who are easily entertained like a game it may just be a good game.
#201 to #139 - anon (11/11/2015) [-]
Yeah, and Minions are evidently the greatest creation of all mankind. Millions of facebook mothers love them, so they must be great.
User avatar #262 to #201 - mendelevium (11/13/2015) [-]
They were essentially forgotten in a week.

You call yourself THE Fallout fan?

Do you think the brotherhood would just give up? No, they would do everything in their power to earn the small amount of money it costs to run the game.


Do you hear that? It's the sound of 100 scribes looking at you disgusted.
#233 - mrforte (11/11/2015) [-]
I'm so happy I upgraded to a gtx 970 for this game. I just got done with my first session which clocked 14 straight hours... damn its a fun game.

You're missing out on all these amazing mods.
#122 - vorarephilia (11/11/2015) [-]
