Okay, so first off, understand that for many this isn't a debate, but my PC's not very rugged. It's a laptop, and not exactly a powerhouse, though it does meet minnmum requirements (though I've heard the game's a bit of pain to get running on Windows Vista and up). So my big question is, is it worth the extra $5 U.S. to get it on the PC? Especially when I'll be playing with a controller anyway.

 

The PC version's listed as Special Edition, and I understand there's a handful of extras, but does anyone have a full rundown? The wiki was a bit unclear about what's different in each version, primarily because there are 3 listed versions.

Is the version on the XBOX Marketplace based on the original release of the game, or the second release? And what were the differences.

http://www.gog.com/g...special_edition No issues for the the pc been revamped and optimized. I'm running a 3 year old laptop too plays fine Raedon 6770m.

So the game specs are:

Minimum system requirements - Windows: Windows XP / Vista / 7 / 8, 1.8 GHz processor or higher, 512 MB RAM (1 GB recommended), 8 GB HDD, DirectX 9.0c-compatible sound card, 256 MB VRAM or higher (ATI X600/GeForce 6800+ or better), keyboard, mouse.

 

But if you buy JE that is from Steam or anywhere else; it has not been optimized for the newer systems, you will have to tweak the game to run.

 

You get an extra follower and another pc selectable character (female) and a few other goodies worth getting the enhanced version.

Yeah, big mistake going with Steam on this one. I've had to do everything from editing pathways, to spending two hours messing with controller settings trying to get this to run. Even now it's still running at about 7FPS. So I'll spend all night trying to get that fixed too.

Heh at least you did not have to fix the mask overlay >.< (would not even start) took two days to get it even to start (steam version) And once you get everything fixed and running properly make sure you turn off updates and set the game to run in offline mode, lol a steam engine update broke the game so couple more days fixing the game.

Been trying to get this working for the last hour and half or so. Game runs now, but the stutter is just wow. Been playing with everything from resolutions, to windowed mode, anti-aliasing etc.

 

Seem to have the best luck in the lowest resolution, and the medium wide-screen range. I'd defer to someone more knowledgeable than I, because to me, it seems completely random.

I bought Jade EMprie on Steam last week. The only problem I had was the start up.  This was easily fixed by setting Jade EMpire to run in compatability mode and running steam as admin, and then clicking play form the library instead of desktop logo.

 

Also if you edit the JadeEmpire.ini to set the fps clamp to = 0 you will get much higher fps, I noticed the difference immediatley. Just turn controller sensitivity down to adjust to the faster and smoother camera speed.

I'm rather lucky: I bought the game old school ages ago, so I got the nice metal case and it runs fine if you shortcut your exe to the game itself rather than the config launcher which dies instantly.

 

So as long as you have the 360 controller for PC, you're basically set.

   I know is and older post, but my take on this is [ PC compatibility, I can take a game from 1980, and with maybe a few tweaks or dos Box have it up and playing on my Computer in short order ]

 

    Your system may be a little short for this game, and if you have a good Xbox to use, you will be okay with that for now.

 

  But with Consoles what I have seen is that every 3 or 4, maybe 5 years that change, and all games from before on the earlier version are suddenly unplayable, maybe not right away but soon the older Console can no longer be replaced, and so those games you bought at 40 to 70 buck each are not even heavy enough to make a good paper weight.

 

   I still play Unreal tournament, Tribe, and Tribes 2, and diablo 2, and many other older games that are really fun to play. Also thanks to some great emulation programs for My computer, I play all my Final fantasy games as well. 

 

   Consoles are cheaper than a solid Computer, but they have been notoriously terrible at compatibility when ever they are updated. now that the PS4 has arrived, all the PS3 games are pretty much toast or soon will be.

 

   Steam, and Origin durability is a concern for me if they go belly up, or there policies change to a less dependable system. many games will be history, even for a computer.

 

   How ever I still think if you can afford it, and keep it up to date a computer is the over all best game machine, for the compatibility reasons I mentioned mostly.

 

But that is just my take on it.
