Revision as of 21:59, 12 November 2015

The system requirements for each platform are listed below. It is currently unknown what the Macintosh version needs as it is not built from source - neither is the Linux version.

1.2 GHz CPU or faster (2 GHz/Dual-Core is strongly recommended for modern mods).
512MB RAM (2GB RAM or more recommended).
Hardware accelerated 3D card with OpenGL drivers.

   * This engine is known to run on VooDoo class cards, and PowerVR cards for OpenGL 1.1.
   * For OpenGL 2 mode, you need at least a Radeon HD or Geforce FX class card.

Either a DOOM, DOOM II, HACX, or Final DOOM IWAD file. HERETIC is partially supported.

For Win32:

   * DirectX 7.0 or higher.
   * Windows 2000 or higher. Windows 98 and lower is unsupported.

For Linux:

   * SDL (Simple DirectMedia Layer) version 1.2.
   * glibc 2.

For Dreamcast:

   * Console manufactured before the year 2000 to play burned media.
   * Alternatively, an emulator.
   * VMU with (X) Free Blocks to save game data.

-* Pentium-class 1.0 GHz CPU or faster (1.2 GHz recommended for modern modifications).
+* 1.2 GHz CPU or faster (2 GHz/Dual-Core is strongly recommended for modern mods).
-* 512MB RAM (1GB RAM recommended).
+* 512MB RAM (2GB RAM or more recommended).
 * Hardware accelerated 3D card with [[OpenGL]] drivers.
-     * The minimum 3DGE supports is a VooDoo 5 card, but don't expect to run anything (even 3DGE) with it, especially using [[DLIGHTS]] or [[3D models]].

+    * For OpenGL 2 mode, you need at least a Radeon HD or Geforce FX class card.
-* Either a DOOM, DOOM II, HACX, or Final DOOM IWAD file. HERETIC is supported but must be launched cleanly (i.e. through a batchfile).
+* Either a DOOM, DOOM II, HACX, or Final DOOM IWAD file. HERETIC is partially supported.
 *  For Win32:
      * DirectX 7.0 or higher.
-     * 3DGE is supported on Windows 95 and higher, however, the less RAM/CPU/GPU you have, the port might not run reliably and/or be unable to run certain mods.
+     * Windows 2000 or higher. Windows 98 and lower is unsupported.
