TheDude February 9, 2013 Share TheDude Member February 9, 2013 (edited) 'Can you run it', the perfect tool for computer noobs like me, seems to say i can run the game, but don't have the recommended requirements.

Flitterkill February 9, 2013 Share Flitterkill GC Board Member February 9, 2013 It's all java. It'll run fine. Just turn down the view/render distance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madvillain February 9, 2013 Share Madvillain Member February 9, 2013 Like FK said its all Java based, so it basically runs in a web browser (actually is one of the two ways) so its not too bad. If you are low on RAM then it would help upgrading that, which is usually pretty cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amertrash February 9, 2013 Share amertrash Member February 9, 2013 You probably already have 4G of RAM, you just have Windows Vista 32 bit which won't use/recognize over 3.5GB and you have 512MB of video RAM which means Windows will only use/recognize around 3GB of RAM. Minecraft will run on your laptop but you may have to turn down some settings, I'd suggest downloading OptiFine 1.4.6_L_B5 and MagicLauncher. Start magic launcher, press setup, then add, and add the Optifine zip file you downloaded. Then hit the advanced tab and change memory to 1024.

I'll follow your directions by the letter, but if you'd just told me how to unleash Lucifer's spawn upon the world i wouldn't know the difference. Thanks a bunch for the advice. I'll go pick it up when my vacation ends. Edited February 10, 2013 by TheDude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
