System Requirements?
System Requirements?
I'm not sure my PC can handle this program. I booted it up and all I get is blackness and a bunch of half-words. I'm running Windows Vista and all my drivers totally up-to-date. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. So in essence I'm asking; What are the basic/minimum system requirements for this Game Maker? Thanks in advance.

Re: System Requirements?
Well... about graphics card (The most important, I believe) you need more than 64MB integrated graphics, about RAM I think 1GB will allow you to operate, and free space disk for saved data (Levels and such).
I'm running WinXP so I can't really say what's good and what's not under Vista, but surely I can say you need 128MB of graphics card in order to play with low graphics mode. The system requirements also depends on your game, If you have a level like "village" then you need around 1GB of graphics card to nun it with full graphics. But I'm not quite sure at all what's wrong on your system, I just posted hoping I can help.

Re: System Requirements?
I have much better than that. I have over 40GB of free space and my RAM is 2 GB. All the graphics cards are fine. My problem is that I can't get to the buttons in the first place. Everything is just black with some half-text floating around. Seems like something is wrong with the program, not my PC.
Re: System Requirements?
Are you SURE you have drivers for it installed?
And that they the newest ones as available from AMD or NVIDIA?
And tell us a bit more about your hardware.

Re: System Requirements?
Sorry to say this, but it IS your hardware, screen glitches like those you describe are caused by wrong/conflictive hardware-driver configuration.
I tried running PAS 2.8 on a mini-laptop that the government gives to the secondary students, with "Chakra 2012 Linux" and Wine 1.x and it ran fine, no errors.
